After letang who is older just got 6 years at a almost identical cap hit with a full nmc for most of it you dont get petry at 50 percent retained for less than a first + top prospect

I don't see a bridge deal like that for Robertson, though it does make sense with Benn's deal expiring as this one does. I either something more like 4.5-5.5 with RFA status, or 6+ for 6 with UFA status. Unfortunately, most RFAs are kinda helpless in that realm of negotiating.

As foe the rest, I love Tarasenko for DAL but that's an overpay. Roster player, prospect, 1st gets him. And Petry is not a replacement for Klingberg. Gotta take a cut in talent since Klingberg is too expensive. Personally, I like Colin Miller as a 3×3 and put him on the 3rd pairing.

Petry half-retained will cost at least Bourque + a 2nd.

By most metrics Petry is better than Klingberg especially defensively.

Habs don't even accept the deal without any retention, lol

You cannot possibly think the Blues would hand Tarasenko to the Stars, let alone for that offer. Yikes.

What’s the price for him

The price for him going to Dallas? More than you would ever pay. The Blues do not send stars to rivals. They just don't.

No to the capitals

Ahhh. My bad. Umm... I'd imagine the Blues would want Orlov.

That’s tough but understandable. One of the most underrated defenders in the league and is an excellent skater

Yep. And the Blues like plus skaters at the back.
