What is the logic/your thought process behind Buffalo doing this when they will get offers with a) better prospects and b) a package that doesn't include a 30 year old winger coming off 3 shoulder surgeries with a large cap hit.

And, why is Tarasenko waiving his NTC to go to Buffalo?

It was random. Not actually taking the trade serious just want to pass the requirements.

Definitely interesting but:

Kostin has had issues for a while now
Tarasenko could play 20 games in 2 years
Late firsts
A good prospect (Alex)

Not a terrible value but idk if Buffalo wants to look back and have Kostin in the KHL and Tara retired in 2 years potentially when they probably have better quality offers. It’s just a risky haul not a terrible one.

Thomas would be untouchable. Neighbours and Kostin would make up for it and 2 firsts as well. But as I said not taking this deal serious just stating Blues won't retain.

Buffalo would have no interest in Tarasenko nor would he waive to go there.

They're not taking on Eichel or trading all that youth, either.

I really like the idea of him, he's coming along very strong. Alexandrov might be a bit further before he is pro ready.

Robert Thomas is untouchable in the eyes of Armstrong. If you go back through when we were supposed to be making some big deals reasons why we never got a Carey Price, or other big names in trades like Erik Karlsson (thank god) was because the primary want in those deals were Robert Thomas they didn't want, and for Buffalo Eichel already stated he wants out, the idea of paying 10 Million for him when 1 he has only played 2 full seasons out of 6 seasons he's been in the league. And we are at a Flat Cap, I don't think anyone is willing to give up their top youngling for him at this time. LaFreniere wouldn't even be in the argument if Rangers were going after him. It's just apart of the era.
