Blues Retool Take 8

Description
The Blues weaponize the assests they got to shed the defenseman. Buying out Krug is a great move to do and saves cap. The left side, scandella and rosen are underrated and will be UFA's so it's not long term. I really like the shape of the forward corp, as Konecny would be a fantastic add.

Why buyout Krug? What are we going to use the cap for? Also, if he's bought out thats like 8 seasons of having a 2.5m cap hit. Doable, but certainly not ideal.

It actually saves cap if we buy him out and it opens up a roster spot but I see what you mean. Tough situation either way.

It does, but it has some pretty serious long term cap ramifications. Not to mention I feel like signing compher and Donato and trading out picks while doing it for players that need extensions in a year or two is shooting ourselves in the foot. I don’t dislike your targets. I just feel like we’re going to lose them before we can even get to a competitive window.
