i love the first two, i just don't want them to trade riikola.

I agree I really like Juuso but Sullivan hates him for some reason

i think the blues could do that

I think its fair for both. STL can trade Dunn and Hoffman to BOS for a good haul too

and love rodrigues for what ever reason. i like rodrigues, he is good but he is not a first line or second line player consistently. i don't get why he is always the one moved up when someone is injured

yeah i think zucker would be a pretty good fit for them if they were planning on moving Schwartz as well

do you think that is a fair value for both teams

I think they can keep him and catch fire

No thanks to Lafferty

Who would you want then?

i think its alright, pens give up the better player imo but in return get 2 guys who can help out and cap flexibility if they dont want to re-sign either barbashev or sanford. Maybe the blues bump the 3rd to a 2nd but i think its pretty decent

Id be okay with bumping the pick up. 2 2nds in a wildcard draft could be nuts

I would probably hang on if I was Vancouver and sell when his value is higher maybe next TDL . He is a serviceable player that Canucks can use until the price and timing is right. He did score 18 goals the year before and with proper line mates can get back into that range

I agree-- I just see VAN fans dunk on him constantly and see his name out there a lot. How about McWen (spelled that wrong)

Zack is a big question mark. Great hands good speed. He is a big boy that can fight. I think the team will hang onto him another year and give him more duties. Our GM just said this morning it is going to be a vey quiet TDL

Don't have the cap even if they wanted to (which they absolutely do not).







Heh. I hate to break it to you two, but the Blues do not exist to serve the Penguins. And they are sure as hell not ripping the team to shreds for them.

i mean the blues will have about 20m in cap this offseason where they would only really need to sign thomas and kyrou, can fit zucker in pretty easily for the future. Although logistically they cant fit under the cap now if they move pending UFA hoffman for a pick they sure can. Sanfords a middle 6 (maybe) pending UFA, and barbashev is pretty replacable too, if they cant hammer out a deal with schwartz this is a pretty decent deal to give them a good option for the next couple years. Im a fan of the team, i watch the games, id move hoffman if it means we could do this trade

Easily can make the cap work and team better

1- Uhh and Schwartz and Dunn and your notion of Barby and Sanford being dime a dozen is not one I agree with. More importantly, it seems like Chief and Army don;t agree with it.
2- It's a terrible alternative. Super terrible. Woeful and sad and woefully, sadly terrible.
3- I have no issue with trading Hoff, but you also wanted to toss away Dunn, which I am not in favor of at all (at the very least until the season is over).

What you've proposed makes the team vastly worse. Both now and in the nearest future. Obviously.

dunn is gone no matter what weather it's through trade or expansion, they wont protect him over krug, faulk, Parayko and theres too many forwards to protect. Theres a reason they were shopping him earlier in the season. and like i said if they cant get a deal done with schwartz, and his future with the team looks uncertain due to UFA, this is an adequate replacement, he be a good player on the first line and fits the style of play the blues play.

Oi vey... they were not shopping him earlier this season. Stop repeating entirely unsubstantiated clickbait as if it was gospel.

And they're already in extension talks with Schwartz. And Zucker is NOT an adequate replacement or a 1st liner.

they were absolutely gauging the market for him earlier this year because they know hes gone in the offseason, Zucker is fine, thats a fine trade, id rather have schwartz but as of now hes not signed so here we are. If he gets more than 6m its a bad deal for schwartz anyways
