Quoting: Bruinsbeatz
Smith is to make the books work, guys on expiring deals are not dumps, especially for teams way outside of the playoffs.
And that’s ridiculous that you would kill a Tarasenko trade with 1st 3rd Frederic and a prospect because you won’t throw in Acciari who is worth a 4th round pick at the deadline.
There isn’t a single rental that lysell would be available for only a player who has term.
1 - Smith is absolutely a cap dump because he's a poor player and they'd be trading him solely to remove his cap so they can fit Tarasenko in. That's a Boston problem, not a Blues problem. And in what world exactly do you think the Blues are way out of the playoffs?
2 - First of all, that prospect is trash. He's like the 8th best prospect in the worst prospect pool in the entire league by a decent margin. He has no value to the Blues. He means nothing. They already have a mess of centers way better and far more advanced in development than him, and none of those centers are more than a B prospect. Most of them are B- or C+.
Secondly, why should the Blues need to throw you another fine, cheap player when you are
barely in the ballpark in the first place. Acciari is being used by the Blues, thanks, and I would bet money they'll extend him before too long. And if you think Acciari only gets a 4th at the TDL, I have a bridge to sell you on Mars. The only ridiculous thing going on here is your faux outrage.
3 - Yeah, I already said that.
