st louis doesnt need those players they decline

They just left him unprotected lol they clearly don't see as much value in him

That's also an overpayment. End of story

no offence, but idk if I wanna trade a first and amirov for two years of tarasenko's mashed potato shoulder

Oh I know. But the way this site works is if you over pay it keeps the donkeys away. But in this case it seemed to attract one. Not you

The reason he was left unprotected was because that would remove his total salary which is Armstrong’s goal. The Blues don’t want to retain. Secondly the only piece of that the Blues would like is the pick. Probably looking for second pairing LHD and second line winger. The bottom six is done.

It’s been said on here many a time but the Blues and Leafs just really are a good fit for trade at this time.

Amirov was just a 1st round pick 11 months ago why wouldn't they be interested?

That is true but the bigger take away from my point would be the blues want to retain little to no salary on him. I honestly think you could have him for just a decent prospect if you don’t ask for retention

That's a good take. I wonder if a 3rd team can be involved

Yotes still have space and are collecting picks like Pokémon. I’m sure they’d be willing to eat some cash
