Team: 2022-23 St. Louis Blues

Initial Creation Date: Jun. 21, 2022

Published: Jun. 23, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

I'd like to see the Scandella buyout and a cheaper replacement that can actually play. Whether or not Army will ever buy out a contract is up for discussion.

As for Barbashev, hard to peg what his return would be because he is a tenacious, versatile, super-cheap forward and young enough that an acquiring team would probably want to work on an extension. I just think now would be a great sell high time for STL especially with Neighbours and Bolduc developing and Kostin/Torps/Brown in the mix for regular spots in the bot6. And admittedly a bit of a sell-low on Lundkvist for NYR with K'Andre and Schneider already looking really good on their backend. Blues could really ease Lundkvist into a 3rd pair role and see where it goes from there.

Not sure what Larsson is looking for but he is a prototypical 4C and would be a welcome addition IMO.

It's very good

Buyout not ideal obviously, I think we find a way to move that contract but this is probably as good as it gets without major roster surgery.

Yeah I endorse this as well, I think Kulak will get more though

Need a sweetener on that Barby deal, especially with retention.
