Lets do this
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HolyShildt</b></div><div>Gryz is not your prototypical short offensive defenseman. He is ABSOLUTELY ELITE defensively and can move the puck with the best of them. We need to stop worrying about size and just get Parayko someone that CP doesn't have to try to bail out every game, and Gryz is just that. If you think the blues should pay a premium for Chychrun, or get a lesser, yet bigger dman in Soucy, that's fine, but lets not try to force ourselves to get the next Scandella in FA because he's tall</div></div>
Wholeheartedly agree with you. Playing a clean game defensively has nothing to do with height, and not all undersized d-men play the same type of game. Grz would be a nice pickup.

TBL 22-23 retool
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>xercuses</b></div><div>Was gonna say the say thing, unless Bolduc is ready</div></div>
I really hate the CHL agreement with these 19 yr old guys. I get it, CHL is a business and wants to keep as much talent as they can, but I wish they'd renegotiate to give each NHL team one exception each year because Bolduc - like Neighbours last year - should really be in the AHL this year.

Would be a really nice pickup for STL but Neighbours is the reason Barbashev would be expendable so losing both of them leaves a hole. Would rather it be Barby + NikoMiko + 23oa personally. Could possibly retain on Barby too.

Stealing this question, I didn't like either pick but I love them both now, which is a good reminder not to stress about draft decisions :tearsofjoy
I def wanted Lucius or Lysell over Bolduc. And I thought neighbours went too early and there were dmen like grans or niemela that would've been wiser choices but at this point I like the fit of neighbours and bolduc, and at the very least they have gained some value as trade pieces.

Always hard for me to judge good players on bad teams (and vice versa). Chych isn’t perfect but he’s one of the few guys available that I think moves guys down the D depth chart and that’s what needs to happen.
If you think of Hoffman, we should sell high on Bolduc :tearsofjoy but I’ve read that has a good 2way game.

Agreed. Would be tough to let go of ZB but if Chychrun lightens Parayko’s load and Neighbours hits the ground running I think it could be worth it.

Nylander Trades I Would Accept
Could debate Kyrou vs Nylander on raw value but 2.8m AAV for another year is a massive advantage for the next season. Kyrou being 2 yrs younger doesn't hurt either. Don't see a reason for the Blues to consider it.

Yep. Had a great regular season too; someone would pay good value I think but he didn't help his reputation. I just can't see the Wild handing him a big deal after his showing, he was brutal when they needed him. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if a few of the bigger names on the Wild end up getting moved somehow. I guess it depends on how patient Guerin is going to be. They have a nice prospect pool but I wonder if the 4 yrs with Kaprizov is the window.

I think Fiala played his last game for Minny. He was awful all series. They probably cash in on something for his RFA rights and move on.

A Realistic Off Season DK retires
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>justaBoss</b></div><div>That usually applies to goalies who switches teams. Binnington did not.
However STL did lose Pietrangelo, and I'm certain that has an impact on how they (and Binnington) perform.
Regardless his contract is an albatross and it has negative trade value. To the point he's becoming a $6M dollar 2G to Husso.
If I had an opportunity to get rid of that deal without paying by swapping it for one year of Smith, I'd certainly do it.</div></div>
That's how I see it. If you can convince Holland to straight swap Smith for Binner and then get Husso signed, that's a win. But the $6m and NTC are pretty big obstacles. Blues have had zero seasons without goalie drama, we are strapping in for more haha.

rakell instead of leddy
Jury is out on whether Leddy is going to have a positive impact or not but it was absolutely necessary to make a move for a d-man. Blues' healthy top-9 doesn't need any bolstering; I do like Rakell tho and his price was one of the more reasonable ones, too. I'm looking over all of the trades and none of the buyers really got any good deals. Wish the Blues would've abused LTIR and put Sunny there instead of in the trade.

Thread:
(STL/DET) - Walman, Sundqvist for Witkowski, Leddy
I think there are times when the defensive inefficiencies appear to be rooted in a lack of physical, net-front play but could actually be resolved by getting cleaner exits and better transition play. So I don't mind adding Leddy to see if he can provide a boost in that regard.
But it feels like the Blues got Yzerman'd into giving up Sunny instead of Scandella, all things considered. The 2nd rounder on top of two solid players hurts. Almost makes me wonder if the deal was done but then nixed by Scandella's NTC and Army panicked and swapped in Sunny. It wasn't long ago that Sunny was regarded like a Lehkonen or Nichushkin, a two-way guy you can play anywhere in the lineup and get results from his energy/defense. As soon as he's fully recovered from his surgery I'd expect him to return to that level of player.
So overall, I think there are some positives but it's an L for the Blues. Especially if they give any sort of extension to Leddy. The best thing to come from the trade might be some more cap flexibility heading into the offseason. Could be key in keeping Husso or Perron, for example. But for right now, the team addressed the defense and should have some flexibility in the offseason. Just wish they didn't call Stevie Y to make it happen.
