<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jpool360</b></div><div>its not just krug thats causing the jam, scandella is hard to move because no one really knows what he looks like right now because of how long hes been out, leddy is hard because hes getting way overpayed with term and no team wants to take that on.

one of them has to be moved or injured (to be placed on LTIR) if we are going to get anything done</div></div>

To be honest with you, I’d imagine Leddy is the most movable of our whole group. He’s coming off of a really good season comparative to what was expected. 4m isn’t exactly a back breaker especially for a guy who was used in a top pairing shutdown role (although it’s not where he’s best suited). I don’t think the Blues as much as the fan may hate how vanilla his skill set is have much interest in moving him. Scandella probably doesn’t draw hardly any interest, however, his contract isn’t back breaking to us. I don’t particularly like his game, but he’s the exact type of defenseman that assuming he logs a decent amount of minutes this season will get moved to a competitive team as a bottom pairing/depth option at 50% for probably a 3rd or a 4th.

Our log jam cap wise has a lot to do with paying two similar guys in terms of strengths albeit a different way of getting there the same contract long term in Faulk and Krug. Faulk certainly does a bit better 5v5 but we don’t have the correct personnel to be able to have him and Krug nor do we have ann immediate or relatively near term replacement for him. Like we do in Perunovich.
