Team: 2023-24 St. Louis Blues

Initial Creation Date: May 23, 2023

Published: May 23, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

This is if Doug doesn’t want to wait out a real retool/rebuild and tries to go for it still. Has to restructure the D. Sheds krug contract with some retention for a solid replacement. Probably would change the 4th to a second looking back. Hurts to lose neighbors as he’s our closest prospect but the spots are kind of filled rn and there will be room in the future for the younger guys. Bottom of the lineup can be filled out with different variations of those guys in the scratched area. Idk, this isn’t what I would want to do but just some random ideas

Yeah no thanks to taking on Krug. He's also an American player with a Full NTC. Zero chance he waives to Canada

That’s why I said if Doug tries to stay competitive and it’s not what I would want to do. But also, not actually over cap cause I have like 9 guys in the scratched which would be a 30 person roster. It’s basically a cap compliant team with recalls and stuff. I just put them there to show the bottom 6 cycle players

That offer for Nick Schmaltz is easily beaten.

Krug and his wife need to be close to their families in Michigan, Zero chance he waives for Calgary or any Canadian team for that matter.

All I want to say is hard pass on Leivo. I'm very cool with Pitlick coming back.
