Team: 2021-22 St. Louis Blues

Initial Creation Date: Jul. 14, 2021

Published: Jul. 15, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Win now + win later. Try to finally get a couple Top tier prospects in the farm system. Talk to Seattle about grabbing Vladi+Dunn and taking Sandford in expansion for their 1st round pick. Or just trade Vladi and Dunn to someone with a pick in the top 10. Target Dylan Guenther he played great with Neighbors or Mason Mctavish with the 2nd Overall. Maybe Matt Coronato falls into our 14th. Fingers crossed.

These signings are very unrealistic. Thomas and Kyrou for 1M? try 3 times that. Suter at 1M? try 4M. Barrie at 4M? Try 6M.

Not sure if Barrie is a good signing. I mean he doesn't fit the blues at all and would be playing 3rd line for 4M? Dude just put up the most points by a defenseman this year.

Not at all feeling the Hoffman and Barrie signings. Not what we need, let alone for 11% of the cap.

I've just played with this a lot since originally posted and it auto saves. This isn't the route I'd really go at this point. Keeping Hoffman might actually be a decent idea if he'd take 4.5 for another year or two. The power play was really getting good and he seemed to find his place towards the end of the season but maybe I'd go with one of the better two way right wingers instead

Dude, Barby is worth more than Sanford. And I have no idea why we'd just throw him out anyway.

The power play is a very small portion of any game. Yeah, he's good when all he has to do is wind up a one-timer. At all other things, he's typically a mess.

Very true. No hopes of getting him to play a more rounded 5on5 game you think?
