those guys aren't locks for Roster either....I think my point is getting a little lost here. Blues RW depth is Tarasenko, Perron, Thomas, Sundqvist (one of the best 4th liners in the league).. Bracco isn't making the roster so he is fighting guys to be call ups on the depth chart if there are injuries, so how is different from anything else they already have? Really its not

You aren't holding value in a trade for a healthy scratch or AHL call up, bc even on the Blues he would be what on the Leafs.

is Thomas not a center I thought he was. I guess I see what ur saying but relative to the guys you mentioned earlier he is more ready. and I never said the blues specifically I said he'd crack most teams which is a true statement

ROR, Schenn, Bozak, Steen as their C depth, Thomas was shifted to the Wing bc of the depth at C. It was my mistake for not being clear enough earlier when I mentioned those guys....Bracco would be battling them for a 13th fwd spot currently, not an NHL roster spot, which is a big difference when you are talking about value in a trade

steen is a winger
