Thread: Next year

I like Wahlstrom but picking him up to just throw him on the 4th line? Might as well keep Scotty and see if the little guy, big guy combo works next season with Krug/Faulk Perunovich/Parayko. The kid has top pairing point producing potential. Kostin might be a bust here with how deep we are but given adequate time on a 2nd or 3rd line role elsewhere could be great for him and make us regret trading him.

Thread: Tkachuk to STL - the trade both fanbases will hate

St. Louis definitely does that. Idk about paying him 10 mil though lol really hoping he'd take below 9 to play in the hometown and not gimp other parts of the team.

Thread: Big Change offseason

Yeah the Philly trade is just weird and bad for them. They wouldn't do this even without the retention.

Thread: Why are we so good yet so bad

Why take Brown out, kid had a great game and that line was the only one consistently generating and forechecking. Not sure about the rest of the lines either.

If Scandella isn't traded or bought out after this season, it's an L. Lol

Who cares where he plays lol. This trade at best is a wash, not an improvement... plus the loss of a 2nd.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>xercuses</b></div><div>and the ANA deal
i also dont really like that crouse deal as idk if wed be able to resign him cheap so id rather just keep kostin sunny and the picks</div></div>

We could resign him for a decent deal I'm sure, he is still an RFA, idk about arbitration and such but we could always just sign and trade if it doesn't work out. Part of it was just the idea that with Sunny being on and off injured, not sure how ready for playoff hockey he'll be. Crouse is young, good fit, and smaller cap hit for time being to make things fit better elsewhere and open some options in the offseason.

Thread: Arz trade continued

The Tarasenko trade was just what I could think of, main point of it was just moving his contract. If Vladi keeps up his current pace, he will fetch a similar value in the off season. The Chychrun and Crouse trade is more than fair, if there is any hang up with it, it's something small like "we prefer this prospect or a different years pick". Scandella is not negative value, someone would take the chance on him for a pick. Sundqvist will definitely fetch another decent pick or prospect. The total of the package makes sense if Arz is trying to compile assets.

Thread: Maybe

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>1- Nowhere near that. Frankly, he's no better than a healthy Sunny. He is definitely a Blues type player, I'll give you that. But I have no idea where people get the idea he's worth some big price.

2- Good heavens, no. The price to move Scandella is not close to Sunny. A low pick, at most. Frankly, he should not have negative value. That's just hysterical. The guy is easily better than Chiarot, who people seem to imagine is worth a 1st as a rental.

3- I do not want Chych. They're asking too much. Give me Soucy, Gavrikov or Graves and I'm tickled.</div></div>

I didn't have Sunny there to dump Scandella, had him there for his cap space too to make the deal work and his value in the trade. Sunny is worth like a 2nd and a 3rd maybe, not sure. Scandella, regardless of what people say someone would roll the dice on him and give up an ok pick. Bolduc, Perunovich and hofer are close to 2 1st value. So let's say the packaged value in picks is like a 1st, 1st, 2nd, 2nd, 3rd, 3rd in total value maybe. Crouse = a 1st easy. Chych=2 first + ? So maybe a bit too much, but considering other teams are bidding on both players that might get it done/be worth it

Whats Crouse value? he's worth a good fetch right? You think the Scandella+Sundqvist contract swaps are worth it right? What would the rest of the package be? Could be a glove fit.

Thread: Honest

Stop with the Chiarot hilarity PLEASE. lol it's actually become a joke amongst most active viewers... especially MONTRÉAL fans. You can find them everywhere laughing about trading the God tier defenseman Chiarot for a 1st. MONTRÉAL fans know it's ridiculous...

Forum: Armchair-GMFeb. 19, 2022 at 4:41 a.m.

Thread: Whats with all the Chiarot hype

He's trash, anyone saying otherwise is clueless. I'd been watching most of the Canadians games this season and his individual suck has been a constant. Out of position too often, too slow to recover when he gets caught so he defaults to taking penalties, gets walked way too often, not good at getting the puck out or making a good first pass, cant seem to follow/recognize the play in his own end, no real offensive upside. He'd be a liability on any contending teams 3rd pairing. I will actually be in tears if that's St.louis's answer to their defensive struggles.

Thread: Soucy continued

Maybe more shopping to be done in Seattle...McCann is very interesting. New York Isles could be looking to sell and have some interesting pieces, have been a fan of Beauvillier for awhile. Bruins? Blackhawks? Oilers? Montreal? Rangers? Philly? Sharks? Vancouver? Minnesota even? All seem like places that have an interesting piece or two that could be worth looking at and make sense in a swap.

Thread: Who It Should Be

Yeah other than Lindholm, everyone in the article doesn't move the needle for me. Chychrun maybe, but as you said BIG price... Soucy would be a fine addition. Even if we end up just using him on 3rd pairing, it will likely work better than what we've had. Might fit well with Perunovich too. And yes, try some of the other young blood up the line up, we need to find something that clicks other than Thomas W/anybody lol as great as that line has been its putting the 3 chips that can seemingly spark a line in one basket.

Thread: My trades

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Both teams pass.

Well, that's excessive.</div></div>

You wouldn't do Kyrou, Bolduc and a 1st? Or Kyrou, Neighbours and a 1st? Or Kyrou + 2 1st for Tkachuk? Kyrou is great but he's not nearly as complete a player as Tkachuk. I personally think thats about what it'd take to get him and I'd be all for it. He's already got 4, 20+ goal seasons. One of which 30+ and then there's everything else he brings. He'd be a perfect fit with Thomas.

Tkachuk would probably take like Kyrou a 1st + a top prospect or another 1st.

Thread: The more I think about it

Im strongly in favor of any of Lindholm at 1/2, Soucy, Graves, or Chychrun. I am not okay with Chiarot almost at all or overpaying for Gio.

Thread: Deal or No Deal

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>You're asking too much from the Blues, and they do not have the cap for this deal anyway.

Closer, but still a bit too much. And again, they do not have the cap for it.</div></div>

Lindholm seems like the only guy who may be available that could be the missing link for this defense. With retention and possibly finding a new home for Scandella it would work. I've also read somewhere about our real cap space by the deadline being able to fit him? Idk how true that is or how it works.

Forum: Armchair-GMFeb. 13, 2022 at 4:42 p.m.

Thread: Deal or No Deal

I think St.Louis would rather hold onto Kostin. He's finally fitting in a bottom 6 role well and will be needed for a playoff run. Probably some decent prospects that would work instead. A 1st, Simon Robertsson and a 3rd would seem more fair.

Forum: Armchair-GMFeb. 12, 2022 at 11:08 p.m.

Thread: Trade Deadline

Yeah, way too much, especially considering you're giving up a pick to move Scandella. It'd probably cost a 1st, a mid tier prospect and a later pick for Lindholm.

Thread: Brutal to watch

Legit just need one damn good defenseman, ride Husso and hope Binner puts it together before playoffs and find some fricken line combos that work for Christ sake... I get we've been juggling after bad games but I've been scratching my head at the decisions for these line combos. Keeping guys together that are obviously struggling together on one side of the ice or another, breaking up guys that finally get something going and just when I look at who's with who most games it doesn't feel like the right fits to me.
