<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Pretty sure the Blues would prefer Willander to Lekky. As for Sunny, he's presumably not going anywhere unless he asks to. I'm a little surprised he hasn't extended yet, but Army is just keeping all possible arrows in his quiver in case something big comes up. Like, say, Willander.

But yeah, a deferred and protected pick with a middle 6 winger and another winger getting to the point where folks start wondering if the B word is apropos - somebody tops that if he's available. Which he seems not to be at this moment.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AC14</b></div><div>My perspective is I wouldn’t put any value to Mikheyev, would be fine with salary coming back. His term is a little longer and he is at least a useful player, but nonetheless he doesn’t fit anything the Blues would be trying to accomplish in trading Buchnevich.

As for Lekkerimaki, it would be closer, but it still doesn’t fit a large organizational need. He’s a good prospect but his skill set is pretty similar to Snuggerud/Dvorsky as being a good PP one timer option.

Willander checks a lot of boxes for what the Blues need in their system. Personally I don’t care too much that the pick is deferred but it is certainly not preferred as it sets a timeline back further.

Podkolzin to me is a salvage project similar to Broberg from Edmonton. Blues are in a position to do something like that. But I wouldn’t put his value much above a 3rd if it were 1-1 him for a pick.

I’m personally not moving Buchnevich unless it fits an organizational need. Which is a good defensive prospect. He works really well here and works better with Thomas than Kyrou does. The Blues also don’t need to be in a rush to move him as they could very easily ask for a package similar to what you have put together next trade deadline. Our front office is not going to tank, right or wrong in one’s opinion. But they don’t want to become Buffalo and want to create a good culture for the youth wave that’s about to come up on forward and with Lindstein on the back end.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tennisman142</b></div><div>Blues decline. Not the package we would target. Don't see Mikheyev being a target for the blues. The term is too long. Podz isn't a prospect we would target as a main piece of the package. Again we are not a fit if you don't have a good defensive prospect. I'd rather try to re-sign buch than do this package</div></div>

Maybe D-Petey? I’m pretty sure he played with Lindstein at the world juniors, and I don’t think Willander is available.
