Thread: blues

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>vr1995</b></div><div>im a leaf fan and tried to do it with leafs, but i wanted to make sure it worked on the blues side first</div></div>

I would rather see the Blues move so many other players before Parayko if the goal is to open up cap space. Basically anyone except Dunn, Thomas, ROR, or Tarasenko. If the choice is between Parayko and Pietrangelo, I'm taking Parayko - considering the contracts/age/etc.

Thread: Question for Blues fans

We'll see what the roster looks like next year, but neither would be necessary beyond this season IMO. Could've let Eddy play out the contract and walk. Or could've tried to trade something less than Bokk for Faulk and then let him walk. But here we are, with Faulk signed forever. Feeling regret won't change anything about it; just gotta hope he fits better if he gets a bigger role. Mighty-big paychecks he's getting...

To answer your question though, Faulk > Edmundson. Even Faulk on the left side is probably a better player than Eddy.

Thread: If they sign piet

Since TOR signed Muzzin I guess the Blues could get Rielly for Sundqvist, Bortuzzo, and a 2nd?

Sorry dude I only did it twice haha. I read about how Lias is done with the Rangers and figured anyone could use a defensive 3c for a year if his price tag is in the 3m range.

Thread: Big trade

If Pietrangelo is gone, Parayko instantly becomes the biggest untouchable on the STL roster. If Petro stays, there is still no reason to trade our best defensive d-man for a RW when we have Tarasenko, Perron, and a few other guys capable of playing that role. Even if Nylander is the more impactful player (debatable) his role is much easier to fill compared to Parayko's... hence why the only people that post this trade scenario are Leafs fans.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>i agree if anything toronto would want to keep rielly and acquire Parayko as those 2 would make a dynamic duo. Trading 1 for the other just makes no sense for either organization</div></div>

If I remember right, Team NA used that pairing a few times in the WCoH. Def an ideal combo. I hope Berube gives Dunn-Parayko a shot together at some point.

Not worth trading them to find out. The Blues are better off with Parayko.

Thread: Shedding salary

This very well might be what it takes to move Steen. But IMO the payment should only reflect the difference in his buyout vs trading him outright; 5.75m
cleared vs 2.35m cleared, so 3.4m. I wouldnt want to pay the 30 spots and a prospect for that but it isn't that unheard of I guess. We just have an extremely thin pool and the guy we'd get with our 1st probably becomes our best prospect. Gonna be interesting to see what happens.

I see some Pietrangelo in Dobson. I see some Ekholm in Sandin. Both look like they're gonna be pretty good players.

Thread: Keeping the boys

Seen a few armchairs now where stl loses Dunn and I gotta say, it would be a terrible mistake. Even in the scenario that the team would need to pick between space for Petro or Dunn, I would choose Dunn. It's not crazy to think he's the better value over the next 8 yrs.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jack_</b></div><div>again just like ive said here before- jones isnt that good.</div></div>

Do you think Dubas can call up Jarmo and tell him to look at the public analytics models that show Jones is an average player, and that will convince him to trade him? Or are we just talking hypotheticals in nichushkin > draisaitl world.

Probably fair value, but I'm not convinced stl has a backup in the system who is ready right away. If they can land a FA backup then I'd be good with it. Someone for at least a half season while we see what a healthy Husso does in the A.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rob32sjsharks </b></div><div>He’s a solid middle 6 and that’s fair trade, our problem is we’re set on LW he would be 3rd/4th liner for us, we badly need RW you guys have any for sale??? Lol</div></div>

Doubt he's getting moved (poor guy always gets moved haha) but I think the Blues would be smart to sell high on Perron at this point. Probably would take the TBL 1st to make it happen though, he's been scoring a ton the last few years so $4m is a nice bargain deal.

So are the Leafs better off with a 50th overall pick than a real NHL 4C and 3RD for under $3m bucks combined? They're gonna have to be bargain shoppers this offseason.

"4th liner" would've been tied for 3rd for most goals on the Sharks... 2nd in even strength goals.

Thread: The career of Nick Lidstrom

Lidstrom was an all-timer. He was all about the little things - here's some of my favorites that he was really good at, with some hyperbole sprinkled in because we're talking about a GOAT:

He was never out of position. Never chasing the play. Always in the right spot. It's why he never had to use much physicality, and because of that, he could play 30+ minutes per night easily even when he was getting old.

He could swat pucks out of the air on attempted dump-ins so easily. Teams would think they're gonna get it deep and change and he'd catch the puck off the boards and float a pass to center ice for a counter-attack.

He knew exactly where to lean on a guy to disrupt a shot. Not sure if all of it would be legal any more but his timing on little stick jabs or stick checks was always perfect.

I hated him so much growing up in STL. Just a testament to how good he was. I agree with your sentiment, he is 2nd only to Number 4 in my book.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jslongo</b></div><div>Idk why not? Lets get a Blues fan in here</div></div>

If Necas was the starting point I'd at least listen to the conversation, otherwise we just keep VT. STL covered up his absence this year with good PP numbers but those can easily swing. Can't trade our best scoring threat while we're right in the middle of our window.

Thread: Lotto-Drysdale

To me, 4th overall should be the BPA and the BPA for me is going to be whichever forward is still there - Raymond, Stutzle, Rossi, Perfetti. If it's any consolation for Wings fans that really want a d-man, there will be great options in the 2nd round (someone like Andrae, Cormier, Grans, Niemela, Barron, etc. should be available at 32 or even later in the round), plus the 2021 draft is loaded with d-men at the top, and DET has a few more drafts to build with.

Thread: BLUES FANS- Ask for Barbashev

If theres such a thing as a valuable 4th liner, then that's what he is. Quick, physical, PK, dzone draws, affordable, team control... I'd say the Blues can hang onto him unless a top-of-the-round 2nd is the offer.
