Initial Creation Date: Oct. 8, 2021

Published: Oct. 8, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Lines are whatever, whenever, if ever everyone is healthy. I think LTIR would accrue a little more cap space to make this fit, maybe even 23 man roster.

Forget Eichel, can we take a second to appreciate how good this team is? Super underrated, and if Tarasenko is moved, youll get a ton back.

The D is still a little suspect but I agree, without Eichel the Blues have a ton of forward depth and a good mix of guys. If Parayko can return to form and they find the right partner for him to eat the tough minutes, it's a dangerous team. The Tarasenko saga is gonna have more twists and turns than I was ever expecting haha, who knows what will happen there.

Not a lot of quality. They would want Thomas which probably wouldn’t happen right now. Blues don’t really have a lot of good prospects.

I don’t think the Blues will get nearly as much as they would like for Tarasenko

Yeah it's admittedly not a great offer but probably what the Blues would be able to do. I don't see them moving Thomas, although he does get jammed down to 3C behind a couple great centers in this scenario so who knows. The Blues prospect pool has definitely run out of steam (Perunovich is looking fantastic but I don't think LHD makes sense for BUF) but these guys are at the very least are gonna be NHLers, and then pretty easy conditions to reach for it to be 2 1sts, plus whatever futures a team would give for 3.75m Vladi.

Um. It's pretty good. But...

Nothing to rave about ultimately

All their long term contract guys are overrated

Their depth is just ok

Their cup run was an anomaly ✔

Yeah, that's why they were top of the West near the end of the following season when the pandemic swept in...
