<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rangersandislesfan</b></div><div>So, it's okay if i vote a 0 or a 4/10, right?</div></div>

Yes, its fine. Last year we ran into ballots where all points possible were given to one side /for the entire matchup/ - we're trying to avoid that since we don't see any matchup where that would be true.

Thread: Realistic Summer Trade with BUF

That is fair. I just wasnt sure if Buffalo is better with both McCabe and Bozak (if they could afford it) than with just Bozak.

Thread: 2021 if Petro walks

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>earl08</b></div><div>The cap is guaranteed to go down next season. So, it will probably be lower for your roster as well. Plus, I think Dunn would want at least $5M.</div></div>

You would <em>guarantee</em> that next year's cap will be lower than this year's? Where are you getting this from? It will be lower than their original projections (84-88m) but I can't see them taking it down from 81.5, and if they do there would be some other compliance maneuvers allowed. I was guessing that next year will be about 82m and 2021-22 would be around 84-85m.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jdfitz77</b></div><div>Sabres fan here

I could see that happening</div></div>

If y'all still have a use for McCabe, I think the Blues would be happier just removing Bozak's cap hit for nothing but a late pick. Not sure what BUF is looking for... all of it would be predicated on Bozak's 10-team list tho.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles777</b></div><div>Oh right I forgot about that. He’ll probably want a 7 year deal and giving that to a 29 year old G is risky. It might cost 7 x 4 to lock up Anderson (he’ll be 31) but less term is better</div></div>

Yeah that's the other part. Binner hasn't really gotten a big pay-day and I'm really wary about giving goalies that much term if he asks for it. Would def opt for a 4 yr max on a goalie, even if that means a higher AAV.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles777</b></div><div>Andersen over binnington?</div></div>

I have a feeling that Binnington might explore his options. I don't have any actual information, but it's easy to forget that the Blues org. pretty much gave up on him until a complete catastrophe of a season gave him a shot, out of the blue. And then he signed a 2-yr deal to take him to UFA. I don't really know where things will stand when extension talks start. Would be fine giving either Freddie or Binner a 4 yr deal.

Probably worth the wait yeah. That way you can see what bellows and wahlstrom will do too. I've just never seen this concept before and Dobson will likely work out as a top pair guy from what I've seen so I thought it was interesting.

Thread: Most improved players team

Thomas is a good pick for the Blues. His scoring rate about doubled, and he still isnt getting as much ice time (or the quality linemates) as he deserves so the full-on breakout is still coming. He is dynamic.

Thread: Blues Trade

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>Is this even possible? Not very many GM's are willing to take a mediocre player who is making $5M without sending some cap back in return. I mean, why wouldn't the GM with $5M burning a hole in his pocket just go out and sign that "good player" you speak of?</div></div>

Fine, give cap back but ffs not Kris Russell lol that's all I'm trying to say. It's a swap of 1 yr of overpaid players, but I don't want the worse one for slightly less money. I'd look at the Soderberg trade between COL and ARI as the comp. The Avs opened up like 3m.

They play different positions but you can still compare their impacts. I don't think Russell is above replacement level so I wouldn't trade for him - we'd be better off moving Bozak for nothing and using the cap space on a good player.

Looks like STL bailing yall out to me. No thanks, I'd rather we either open up cap or keep Bozak if that's the offer.

Thread: Top Prospects with description

<a href="/users/stlblues17" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@stlblues17</a> Great write up. You're spot on as usual. I really wanna see how Laferriere and Alexandrov fare in the AHL - they (along with our 2020 picks) can be the difference between having an extremely shallow pool and a good, balanced one. And ready to see Kostin, scotty P and Mikkola win some NHL spots.

Does it really save the Blues that much money? Or just give us a worse roster. Theres plenty of cap to move before Parayko's name would ever come up.
