Don't disagree. Personally, if the Blues are going to move anyone other than Bozak I think it's Dunn. Blues could use some help without Tarasenko, but I'd prefer a RHD if we do move Dunn.

If you want Columbus to take on your cap dump, you'll have to pay us, not the other way around. If there's a deal that would bring Schwartz to Columbus, we'd consider it, but I don't see it working here.

Bozak isn't really a cap dump. He's not worthless or anything. He's quality 3c who can play 2c if need be. Good penalty killer, face-off winner, and provides depth offense.

im all for this move, even if we have to add Barbashev. Debrusk would fit so well with the Blues. Im not sure Boston is interested in doing business with us though since we stole their best defenseman

We're already set up the middle. We need a top-line LW. So it's not a fit with us.

It sounds like we didn't steal Krug (if Krug is to be believed). But I think they would especially if it looks like Chara isn't coming back.

With adding Domi and Koivu, Columbus doesn’t really need or want Bozak, he’s just more cap to take away from what we are going to have to pay PLD. Columbus’s center core is much better from last year with PLD, Domi, Jenner, Koivu, Grigorenko and Nash as guys who can play center. Koivu, Jenner and Nash are pretty good 3rd/4th line centers, just like what Bozak would be.

I wonder whether there's a deal to be made with Ottawa to ship out Nash... we should've traded him instead of Nutivaara imo.

I get that. For me, it was more or less just the Blues sending Bozak to a playoff team and less about Columbus specifically. I forgot about Koivu, but Columbus isn't a set team in my book. This post was mostly about DeBrusk for Dunn.

The next player to most likely get traded after Bozak is probably Sanford, or Barbashev. I don't see Dunn being moved this season.

Now I can agree Columbus isn’t set offensively, they still need to get a few players resigned and I’d like to see them add a top line LW, they are set down the middle, at this point Bozak is what we already have in Jenner and Nash as defensive minded centers. Would Bozak be a slight offensive upgrade on they yes, but he’s not worth adding the 5 mil in cap hit for when that money could be spent on a top line LW who could have more impact for us.

As for the Dunn for Debrusk trade, I don’t think the blues should do it. Keeping a d core of Parayko, Krug, Faulk and Dunn is pretty solid.

I agree, Columbus doesn't need Bozak given all the moves they've made.
I will say this for the Blues. Krug, Parayko and Dunn are great for St. Louis. Faulk? His butt should be on the first flight to Seattle. He is easily one of the most overrated defenseman and I don't get why he's so highly sought.
But I will say with the Krug signing and Perunovich/Mikkola in the wings, Dunn is somewhat expendable from that standpoint. Blues need a young right handed defenseman outside of Reinke.
