So, Seattle gives up their 1st for a salary cap dump and a prospect that split time between the ECHL and AHL? Hard pass

Blues pass for the price of a third.

Now isn’t the time to trade Rakell. Even though he’s been playing better as of late, his value is still lower than it should be. He definitely won’t fetch a 1st right now, man. We should just hang onto him. Also, we shouldn’t be trading Acciari. He plays a role that this team needs, and he plays it well.

So you trade our best penalty killer for peanuts, then trade Rakell just as he is starting to heat up? No thanks.
Keep Rakell and Acciari and dump one of either Graves or Kylington. You don’t need both. You need a cheaper RHD for the 3rd pair.

Hanifin is great - but I think you're spending way too much money on D here. You desperately need some winger help.

Also, we definitely aren't getting a first for Rakell

Vegas isn’t sending that for Smith and POJ. Hard pass
