I figure with Toronto's meh defense the past month or so, they might be more willing. also those are assets that the Blues are totally fine losing.
He's a UFA goalie who isn't performing great right now and has a dodgy history in the playoffs. If they want Kostin or Kyrou, we laugh and hang up. That's not worth it for bob. I'm not sure there is going to be a desperate market for him.
We can agree to disagree on this one. There are teams looking for an upgrade in goalie and there are not much to choose from. Next year the only worthwhile free agents are Bob, Varlamov, then it drops to Mike Smith, Jimmy Howard, Cam Talbot... then even further with Elliott and Ward. So there will be a market for Bob for sure.
Also, to back it up with stats....since the 2016-2017 season among starters (over 90 starts in 3 years), Bob ranks #1 in wins with 97, 2nd in GAA with a 2.38 behind only Rask and 2nd in Save with a .922. Last year he was 7th in GAA and 8th in Save%. This year we all know he has struggled. Take out this year (at least 60 starts for 2016-2018).... he is #1 in Wins with 78, #1 in GAA with 2.24 and #2 in Save% with .926 behind only Raanta at .927 with 56 less starts.
So say what you want about how good you think Bob is, but he is considered elite. Stats back it up. I would love to have him on my team.

Doubt the Blues make the playoff this year, So no way Bobrovsky waives his NMC to go to St Louis.
It's been reported that the Blues are one of the teams that Bob has interest in. I would have to go back and find it (if i could), but rumors persist that the Blues have inquired and there is mutual interest.
