Horrible for the Blues

blues should also throw in 3 first round picks for wheeler

Canes decline

Wings pass and it's 0% close

Surely you must realize that neither the Blues nor Tarasenko go anywhere near that.

Yeah, that's not happening for Blues

Lawson Crouse is 19 days older than Johnathan Kovacevic and has 346 reasonably productive games in the NHL on his resume. Kovacevic has all of 4 games under his belt of absolutely no distinction whatsoever and it's doubtful that he'll make the NHL this season. How in the world could you consider them to have equivalent trade value?

That's an interesting Philly trade but still not enough. To get Sanheim at all, the 2023 first needs to be included. Schmidt is 31 and Demelo is about to 30, and are a combined 9mm cap hit. When Sanheim resigns, itll most likely be for 6 ish and with Risto, it's only a savings of 2mm per year. Not enough without that 1st included.
