Good - center depth
Bad - ROR trade
Ugly - Shesterkin contract

Plus you have no money to re-sign Fox, Kakko, Kravtsov or Zibanejad.

You don't like ROR? He is a good centre with cup experience? That is what we need.

I got plenty of money here. Cap is not a concern for Rangers. Would be easily to move a guy out or stick them on LTIR if we must.

You say "take Faulk's contract" like he hasnt had an excellent season

I haven't paid attention to St.Louis this season much but I do believe that Faulk had a pretty good season so adding him doesn't mean less value and if u want ROR ur gonna have to give up something important. Not tonmention the fact that u put him on the third line and sign RNH

Excellent season? Many Blues fans want to ship him to Seattle for nothing. Rangers are doing the Blues a favor here so they can resign all their RFAs.

That's a bold claim can you find me a blues fan that can vouch for this? In the last 25 Blues fans threads only 1 has them trading Faulk to Seattle. If you can find my a Blues fan that wants him out I'll listen but I highly doubt that

Nah, we have for the most part accepted that Dunn is going to Seattle. Faulk has played very solid all year and we would never want to get rid of the "Stashe"

I'm not a huge ROR fan, but he'd be a great fit for the roster - but not when you also get RNH.

And no, you have no cap for the next season when you need to re-sign guys. Not nearly enough to re-sign the guys I mentioned.

you can't just put guys on LTIR - that's not how it works.
also, you left the rangers $13M to resign Fox, KK, Kravtsov and Mika.
fox alone will get about 70% of that $13M.

...

Heh. Funny stuff.

He's been the Blues best defender. There have been several fans, like myself, who have suggested that we could leave him exposed because Seattle likely doesn't take such a big contract out of the gate.
As far as ROR, he was just named captain and has 2 years left, you think the Blues would trade their best forward and captain who makes less than 8 mil per season for that package? What a terrible trade for the Blues.
Also worth mentioning, that because Tarasenko didn't play the required amount of games to be eligible for the expansion draft, the Blues no longer need to protect him.

ROR, Schenn, Perron,Sundqvist, Kyrou, Thomas, Barbashev can all be protected. Dunn, Parayko, and one of Krug or Faulk can be protected.

i hate to burst your bubble, but Tarasenko absolutely needs to be protected. he is eligible for the draft, he just doesn't count toward the Blues overall number of players that need to be exposed.

Hmm...I was under the impression he wouldn't meet the requirements to be taken. That's on me.
Nonetheless, I dont know if the Blues will choose to protect him. He's injured again and has been consistently injured the last few years only playing in 34 games the last two seasons.
