the blues wont struggle nor take this deal

I dont think they make the playoffs this year. You can be more than welcome to come back to this and chirp me if im wrong.

thats funny

Blues decline as they will resign him anyway if they are good or bad
they ar missing one peice and thats a LD with a VT trade imminent they will probably trade assets to get rid of scandella and bring in a new LD

Uhh no. Obviously.

I agree I don’t see this deal happening, but if he won’t sign an extension by the trade deadline and the Blues don’t look like legitimate contenders, they would be silly not to deal him somewhere at the deadline. If he wants $7-8m long-term, how do the Blues do that with Krug and Faulk on their deals? I don’t think it’s a given he resigns.

VT is probably traded for one and Force a scandella trade to someone like trade a second and him for nothing there are ways to find money but they will make the playoff because the last time they were out of the playoffs by a large margin they won it lmao

Sure you can find money, but my point is how much can you spend on your defence given you have already locked up the goalie at $6m and some forwards making $4.5-6.5m long-term? if he wants $8m that’s $21m or 25% of your cap on three defensemen. The Blues will be filling out half the forward lines with players making $2m or less and you won’t win with that.

I wouldn’t bank on another miracle run again also.

oh im not i was just joking about the run

If Ken offered that to Peter, Karmanos would be crazy to say no.
