Trying to be more than just mediocre

Created by: tetrablues33
Team: 2022-23 St. Louis Blues
Initial Creation Date: Jul. 25, 2022
Published: Jul. 26, 2022
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
This mostly revolves around STL making a big move for Boeser, who was on a lot of top ten trade bait boards over the past few months. I think he'd make a decent replacement for Tarasenko and is signed for three more years on a decent AAV. Is the return fair for Vancouver, who may be trending towards a bit of a rebuild if they move Miller as well.

This roster also allows for some (not a whole lot but reasonable) amount of flexibility for the next offseason when Kyrou, ROR, Barby, Soucy, et al. would need new contracts. Most likely would have to let a few guys walk, but I think we'd have enough to re-sign both Kyrou and ROR.

Are the trade values fair?

Interesting, but the Blues were better than mediocre last year, and they look like they'll at least be above average this upcoming season as well

Boeser could've f*cked that Canucks by just taking his QO. They can't trade him after he signed for below it no matter how good the offer is

Technically they can, it just might create a bit of PR queasiness, but that's it

It would ruin the front office's reputation with the players. I just can't see them doing it

Maybe, but you can't deny that if a team offered a package like the above, the Canucks would have to at least consider it. I think the fanbase would be able to understand that

I dunno, personally for me, I'm pretty high on Jake Neighbours, and Taresenko can be flipped at the deadline if he doesn't wanna re-sign

And Boeser is also 5 years younger and controlled for three more seasons at a reasonable AAV…

Take out the third on the Canucks end, and the Blues would still add a mid-round pick, like a 3rd
