Drury says absolutely not.

This is not smart for the blues

Pray tell why?

Way too much money tied up in buyouts, retention, and goodrow

The retention is for 1 year… Goodrow is a good player who makes a tad too much. Buying out Krug is the only way to change anything even though Doug won’t do it…

You don’t need to buy out Krug, for starters Drury says hell no already. No point in Blues trading away cost controlled Toropchenko and Kapanen (by the way a way better overall player than Laf has been) you now lack even more depth by outsourcing Alexandrov and Toropchenko for a player who is overpaid and is being overpaid for the next 4 years to play bottom line minutes. What is the actual point of making this trade?

You think Kapanen (who the Blues got for free) is a better player than Laf…sorry pal you lost all credibility there

You lose credibility if you think 34 points in 66 games isn’t better than 39 points in 81 games. Lafreniere has played 3 seasons and he hasn’t even passed 100 points produced in his career so yes he’s overhyped, overrated, and plays like dogwater on the ice. He doesn’t even fit our team build well so you lost all credibility and also have never paid any attention to Blues because Kapanen has speed and attacks the net goes straight to the net. We don’t need another outside at the boards shooter who can’t cover his own end if we want that we have friggin Kyrou for that. Don’t make a clownpost and expect me not to call you out on it.

Laf is 21. Guess how many points Kyrou (the guy in your avatar) had in the league by the time he was 21. I’ll give you a hint - it’s a lot less. And based on your description you’ve never watched Lafreniere play. Take a seat…

Once again Cherry picking stats. How many minutes on ice was Kyrou given on a team who had more depth than the Rangers had and was a lot stronger than what Rangers were. I’ll double on that Kyrou has never been benched for playing like crap like Laf did. Fun fact they decided to play Sammy Blais over Alexis Lafreniere at that point. So please continue to cherry pick stats.

Lafreniere is 21 and has put up 91 pts in the league. Kyrou had put up 12 points in his career by the time he was 21. And I’m cherry picking? Ok pal

Yes, cherry picking. You forget the Blues had a deep roster when Kyrou was a kid. Rangers when they got Laf did not. It’s considered cherry picking because you are using circumstantial stats to try and prove your bullsh*t point while the Rangers still wouldn’t make this trade either, but nice try you make all Blues fans look like clowns out here with bullsh*t like this.

All your words: “The Rangers wouldn’t make the trade”. “Drury say he’ll no”. “The Blues shouldn’t trade cost controlled players such as Toropchenko and Kapanen”. “Kap is better than Laf”. Again I can’t believe someone actually said that last one..

You talk out of both sides of your mouth yet I’m the clown…people come to this site to think of trades. Maybe take up knitting instead clown

Let’s put it this way. BLUES need PLAYERS who can ATTACK at the NET DIRECTLY. WHAT does LAFRENIERE DO? NOT that he attacks from wide spots and speaking directly to someone who WATCHES A TON OF RANGERS GAMES. He also turns the puck over a ton, and plays NO DEFENSE AT ALL. You also forget RANGERS HAVE ONE OF THE BEST DEFENSES IN THE LEAGUE. So his turnovers don’t cost them as much. Not only that but you took him and put him in the TOP 6. THAT IS GOING TO MAKE US WORSE NOT BETTER. What is Ryan Lindgren another 2nd PAIRING defenseman that you think you can plug into the top pair it be all rainbows and butterflies. Who else did you get oh an overpaid albatross contract of a 4th liner for the next 4 f*ckin years. Not only that but you trade away Torp who scored more goals this year than Goodrow has in his entire career. Kapanen is PLAYING AND PERFORMING BETTER THAN LAF THEREFORE I think that means he’s BETTER. Laf has had 3 years to try and become the all star you think he is, and he hasn’t matter of fact I don’t even think he’s worth 3 million AAV but you know you go with whatever you wanna say pick up Pittsburgh Pirates baseball because that’s what you’re gonna lead us to clown.

Caps letters - must be an angry fella...Lindgren is better than any LHD the Blues currently have. This conversation is pointless...

You don’t listen to anything anyone says lmao

ditto

Lmao yeah sure kid
