Most realistic offseason

Created by: Blues4Life
Team: 2023-24 St. Louis Blues
Initial Creation Date: Mar. 21, 2023
Published: Mar. 21, 2023
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Need to add 1-2 bottom 6 centers, ideally on 1 year deals. Alexandrov could take 4C role or could also re-sign Logan Brown as 3C/13th forward for cheap. This is a 2 year retool. Cap goes up for 24-25 season as we drop contracts of Kapanen/Vrana/Blais/Sundqvist/Acciari. Burns another year off those long-term defense contracts opening up possibility to attach an asset to one or more and deal them after the season as well.

    Future considerations. Could be to any team that needs a LHD that is not on Scandella's M-NTC (he can block 7 teams)

    As a Pens fan, play Kapanen top six, that’s where he is best with his skills. Also, bring back Reaves because you know it will be fun to have him back and gonna need someone when Bennington loses it again.

    Not a lot of skill on that 3rd line for Neighbours to flourish

    Targets are probably right. But I’d imagine lines would be more along the lines of

    Vrana - Thomas - Kyrou
    Neighbors - Buch - Kapanen
    Saad - Schenn Blais
    Torpo - Acciari - Sunny

    I think that the FO likes Buch at center.

    Personally though I’d rather have Scandella on the roster as opposed to Perunovich unless Krug is moved. Having both would be disastrous.

    Fine with those lines as well. As scary (defensively) as it is, Perunovich has to be an NHL player if healthy. If that means including him in a package to offload someone, so be it.

    Why? He still is exempt from waivers next season i'm pretty sure. Skill and development wise yeah i can see, but he hasn't necessarily been healthy enough to warrant taking a hit like that for the sake of development.

    He's 24, will be 25 beginning of next season. Skill and development needs to happen at some point. Pretty sure he only has 1-2 more seasons of RFA/arb control before he can be a UFA so we need to test him in the NHL next year. Was hoping he'd get a few games in right now and we could rotated sitting Krug/Scandella in these meaningless games. But as I said, if we can't move Krug then we can trade Perunovich in a package for someone/picks.
