How to keep Alex

Created by: gregb569
Team: 2019-20 St. Louis Blues
Initial Creation Date: Sep. 24, 2019
Published: Sep. 24, 2019
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Just a shade over 24M to sign;
UFA - Schenn & Pietrangelo (Bouwmeester if they decide too)
RFA - Rabbri, Blais, Dunn and Husso

Projections:
Pietrangelo (say he gets EK/Doughty money) - 11.5M
Schenn - I'd say he falls around O'Reilly 7.5M or under
*don't resign Bouwmeester*

$ Left for RFA - 5M
Dunn - Girard contract of 5M?
Blais, Husso and Fabbri IMO will all probably accept their QO's or get 1-2 years less than 1.5M each..

So it'll be extremely tight and not doable at all unless they trade Allen+Perron like in this example or a higher cap hit ie Bozak/Steen but I believe the more likely to waive NTC is Perron.

Also, I think i'm highballing both Schenn and Pietrangelo + not accounting for cap increase of roughly 2% - give us 83M cap space (1.5M more) likely enables them to sign another 1-2 or all of their RFA's
*can also deal Bortuzzo to clear roughly 1.5M cap if need be but I like him a lot*

He’s probably not gonna sign, that’s why they did this trade

Edit: I still hate this trade and want to die

change "anyone for picks" to "anyone with picks"

probably costs a 5th to move allen for future considerations, much less surplus value

Idk, I can't see why he wouldn't resign.. although I am not a STL fan so I admittedly don't know a ton about the team

I'm pretty sure they got Faulk so they can trade Pietrangelo.

I'm pretty sure they got Faulk so they can stay in contention with the league's best RHD rotation behind Pietrangelo.

I mean maybe, but that isn't even a realistic replacement in terms of skill and what value they bring to the team IMHO

No because if that was true we would have gotten a LHD not a RHD who is going to be playing on the 3rd Pairing......so yeah.

I would agree, but it's more that Parayko is the replacement of Pietrangelo and Faulk is replacing Parayko's position.....soooo

that's the saddest part about the trade. and honestly, even if it's plan B in case Petro doesn't take an extension, it's really bad optics to already give that money to Faulk before they've focused on the negotiation... if I was Petro's camp I'd be like "ah I guess you're planning on moving on".

second-saddest part: I LOVE BOKK

This was not a smart move, Doug.

According to Friedman MTL are trying to move a forward, not acquire one.

I like Bokk a lot, but I wasn’t necessarily sold. The worst part for me is that absurd contract extension

Never been Doug's strong suit lol. Wonder if his buddy Petey Chiarelli helped him out with this one too! We'll know when we see the contract clauses.

Damn Chiarelli must've settled in pretty quickly haha. I miss the quiet offseason where we didn't do anything.

Two years and then Faulk to Seattle would make it okay I think. At least I don’t have to watch a Edmundson be awful this season

Or if they announce a Petro extension and forecast an 85 mil cap... and yeah I had a feeling Edmundson was out after arb... didn't want it to be like this tho haha. Oh well, let's see what Faulk can do. He's been a victim of some crazy bad PDO for a ridiculously long time up until last year. Maybe he can gel with a good partner and get us back to the finals again. And if (IF!) Kostin and Kyrou become NHL regulars, losing Bokk won't hurt much.
