Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

In order of my preference, except the last one, who would be the easy #1 if he wasn't almost certainly just a fantasy delusion. Not sure if this matches up with Army's wishlist - but I'm probably not too far off. Not trying to give exact offers for these guys, just a general ballpark - some things are negotiable.

And yeah, some of the "rumored"/floated guys I'd likely or DEFINITELY pass on: Chych (too expensive to acquire), Chiarot (gag me with a soup ladle), Giordano (I think that fine wine may be corked at this point), Pettersson (too expensive, too flimsy, too busy with the Pens' hopes), Chara (puh-lease).

Oh... and I would absolutely take a healthy Martinez off Vegas' hands, but 1) when do we actually get to see a healthy Martinez? (will we at all? or are they just faking him on LTIR at this point?) & 2) I'm fairly sure they would not go along with the highway robbery it would take for the Blues to move him off their cap sheet.

Trades

STL

Lindholm, Hampus ($1,500,000 retained)

ANA

'22 1st, Scandella and a mid pick or B prospect (Ducks' choice)

Will Scandella go along with it? Dunno, but if he does I can give him some great restaurant & beach spot recommendations for Orange County.

STL

Soucy, Carson

SEA

2022 4th round pick (STL)
2023 2nd round pick (STL)

STL

Graves, Ryan

NJD

Honestly, I'm not totally sold on this option, both because of what it may cost (something in the neighborhood of the LIndholm package? maybe slightly more?) and how what he brings would fit. But it's worth a tire kick.

STL

Gavrikov, Vladislav

CBJ

This one's the pipe dream. It's almost certainly never happening, but the Jackets do weird things on occasion and I'd never put a little larceny past Doug Armstrong. But for the record, I'd give more than Lindholm costs for this one. Probably a 1st, a 2nd and a solid prospect or two (something like, say, Alexandrov and/or Ellis). But yeah... pipe dream.

A St. Louis Blues scout was listed as in attendance at the CBJ vs Chicago game on Thursday so hopefully that means your pipe dream is closer to realistic than we thought, especially given some comments in this thread suggesting he’s not untouchable. This has Doug Armstrong written all over it right? Saw he’s 6’3 215 and 26 which seems like he fits the contention window quite well. Don’t know anything else about him. What are his strengths? Good physical defender? Plus he’s Russian which is a plus.

1- OMG I just peed a little.

2- Yes and yes. He's a bona fide shut down guy and good in the room, as well.

Lol!! I watched some highlights and interviews last night to get an idea. Seems like he would be a great get but it seems like Chiarot is our guy based on recent reports/rumors.

Well, there have been no genuine reports. Just a bunch of wiggle word piffle that I do not believe for one second. And as we all know, 90% of Army's trades come seemingly out of nowhere. It's almost never the "rumor" going around. If he trades for Chiarot I will be both shocked and disgusted. They guy is not going to help us at all.
