Fixing this mess

Created by: JMSTL2019
Team: 2024-25 St. Louis Blues
Initial Creation Date: Apr. 4, 2024
Published: Apr. 4, 2024
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Bring on the angry Pitt and Florida fans. I don’t care if the trades suck, STL has to trade these guys and it’s gonna happen this summer. Stephenson is the 2C until Dvorsky is ready; he slides to the wing afterwards. Carrier fits the age group Army is looking for and STL can pay him. Lafferty adds a physical presence STL desperately needs. These additions also help the PP and PK improve. Big changes need to happen and I haven’t been this excited for an offseason in a long time. STL should take a Nashville-like approach to improve the roster.

Other FA D options: Matt Roy, Brendan Dillon, Dylan DeMelo, Nikita Zadorov, Brett Pesce, Jani Hakanpää, Joel Edmundson, Tyson Barrie, Kevin Shattenkirk

Columbus is one of the worst FW% teams in the league. Hayes is having a career year at 58%. I know you have injuries down the middle but he’d be a solid bottom 6 C and locker room guy for a team that is pretty sad in general.

No. We had a chance to acquire him we passed for a reason. Even with Johnny g here and I’m sure vouching for him. Between Jenner kuraly sillinger and voronkov we have enough bottom 6 centers.

Great to hear he is having a career year, but at his age and contract, Im more concerned for historical production.


Retain 50% and we’ll gladly fork a 2025 6th for Hayes.

I’m sure Dubas will find another way to ruin your franchise. Krug is an elite PP QB who is definitely worth 6.5 mil. Just imagine Crosby having Krug, Letang, and EK65 passing him the puck.

Florida passes, If they can afford to pay Faulks 3 x $6,500,000 than they can afford to pay Montour the exact same thing but long term.

Just imagine you doing that on NHL24, lmfao

Better chance I hit the lottery than that trash deal.

Like I said, don’t get too upset with the trade but some US team within 5 hours of Michigan will trade for Krug this summer. It’s something Dubas would do.

it is not, but again, keep enjoying that on NHL24.

Makes no sense to trade their only Defensive Defenseman for another puck moving Dman that's older and more expensive.
