Anaheim accepts

I would imagine (hope) that Drury would switch the 1st draft pick to 2024. I think this years draft crop is too rich to give up a first. Thanks Dallas.

Which would be the primary reason the Blues would ask for a 2023 Pick.

While I agree with the 2023 Draft class being stronger, it's tough to rationalize giving away the one Pick you have in a certain Class, when you have a 1st to spare in the other.

Have you seen that meme with the girl holding the chocolate bars saying: you know what would make this chocolate bar better? Another! Chocolate bar.

I hope Drury sees a costly horizon approaching and the likely hood one of Miller, Laff, KK, Chytil, Schnieder etc. eventually leaving this team. I hold on to the gold that Dallas gave us. Im saving my money.

Tarasenko hurt his hand and is out at least 4 weeks, so would be very wary of trading for him at this point.

Very much aware. If that Timeline holds, he'll be back with about a month to go before the TDL to showcase whether he's damaged goods or not.

I can't imagine the Blues having any interest in Skinner or Kravtsov. Switch Robertson and a 23 3rd (or perhaps Emberson and a 2nd) in for those two and come April you might just have a deal.
