Thread: Peace out
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>1 - Somebody just agreed to take Krug without retention. Blues fans need to stop this it's impossible stuff. It's not. It's difficult. Not the same thing. If it was easy, it wouldn't be worth it. Take a deep breath.

2 - I like 1sts, too. I do not like overpaying for them. And that prospect is the exact type of player we are trying to move out. I'm not interested in spending trade value on things just because they have value out of context. Ya know what's worse than paying Krug 6.5M to play for the Blues? Paying half that for him to play elsewhere.

And he's not waiving for NYC anyway, so this is all moot. Army just pulled a ridiculous fleece, and we probably lucked out that Krug did not waive. Be patient. It's gonna be okay.</div></div>

Worth and not worse. Just my opinion. We'll see what happens though, just hope Doug pulls one more rabbit out of the hat today. All this agm stuff is pointless anyways lol we shall see and react

Thread: Krug and Provorov
I like moving Krug... and personally really like the fit of Provorov on this team but i think theres a better way to go about this and thats definitely steep for him. Buying out Scandella is worthwhile if you're looking to add this summer and could use the cap space. And retaining a bit on Krug is worth it imo to make his contract more palatable for another team. I dont think Philly is interested in Krug but their gm sure has made some blunders. Even so i dont think giving up 2 first to swap the two is worth it or the right approach rn for the Blues. If theres a swap i could tolerate one of the later 1st and some other pieces in a package (not Bolduc, Neighbours, Snuggie, Hofer, Perunovich)
Edit:thought about it a bit more. A late 1st + mid pick/prospect is more than fine for Provy imo. Im not sure im paying a 1st to dump
krug still though. Like i said id add other worth while pieces to a swap, but not an additional 1st or top prospect, no way jose.

Thread: Blues retool
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Again, Provorov is disliked in the Flyers locker room and he has not played well since 2020. We can spend a lot less and get a a better fit. There's Orlov, Graves, Soucy, Gavrikov going free this summer, and then Hanafin goes free next summer. Plus, with all these recent trades and other ongoing situations, there could be a lot of promising young LDs available for trade around the league. Provy is not a wise option, especially before exploring all the other options.</div></div>

Idk much about their locker room, im not in it. And the other options im just not as big of a fan of theyre older (Provorov just turned 26 last month) will likely require more than 2 years to sign here (we've done this twice already, Dougs fault i know you wouldnt make those deals but could see this hurting us again) or imo just arent as good or as good of a fit as i think Provy would be. I think he's been in a bad situation and would excel here. 2020 wasnt like 5 years or a decade ago lol. His game could even still get better than it was... hes 26. He hits, skates well, is always healthy, has a good shot, moves the puck well and can skate it out. Maybe theres another trade option, obviously you look into all options. I like Hanifin, maybe we could wait on him but your crossing your fingers on that being a possibility where as we could get a guy this summer and get things moving in the right direction

Thread: Blues retool
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>1 - If Snuggs does not return for another college season, it will be a shock. The Blues have said this already. And there's a big difference between the WJC and the NHL. Let him develop.

2 - All of these trades are rather bad for the Blues.

3 - It's easy to think the team looks better right after the real one traded away two lines worth of impact forwards and then you magically win the draft lottery.</div></div>

I know Dougs talked about him not magically maturing or Neighbours all the sudden becoming a top 6 stud. I do think theres a chance he makes the team or plays in the AHL though and is available to get looks. The Fantilli thing is just a dream scenario in this agm, ya gotta kind of roll with it lol if hes not there than its somebody else we already have or sign in free agency. I think the Vegas one should probably add a 2nd or something. The provorov value i dont think is terrible since the pick is late, but you get the idea of the trade anyways. Bottom six i think we can manage to fill with decent talent atleast until some of our prospects develop a bit more. I did leave us with some cap space to sign some 1 or 2 years

Thread: Keller to the Blues
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Heh. Okay then. So trade for one. Or win the lottery and select Berard or Fantilli.... easy. :squinty

Buch
Kyrou
Saad
Schenn, preferably
Neighbours
Snuggs
Bolduc
Robertsson

Considering contract terms/expected NHL arrivals, that's a lot of solid wing strength. It would obviously be ill-advised to spend so much capital on a winger right now when two other positions need major help. Something major has to be done with the LDs or we are not going anywhere. And we don;t just need a top 6 C, we need a top 6C and a checking 3/4C (which could be solved nicely by bringing back Acciari).</div></div>

Agreed. Id even look into moving Saad if theres interest. Maybe in that scenario you add a younger, better winger (Saad isnt exactly a strong play driver or play makers for a top 6 role imo) but probably better off getting a 2c and moving Schen to wing or 3rd line center. We have alot of wing depth. Fix the D, get a 2c is my vote... but who?

Thread: Blues tear down
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Well, I mean... for starters you have 11 trades to fit into one week. :tearsofjoy

But since you asked, I think everything here fits into one of three categories: you're crazy overpaying, the other team scoffs or hellllllllnaw. Some of them fit into multiple categories. That said, the team you ended up with would be scary as hell in about two years... with some veteran leadership, which isn't in the team you ended up with.</div></div>

Fine, ill give Wright back 😂 but forreal what alterations to which trades would make them work because i think most of the destinations make sense and there is a deal that could work out. Which r the overpays? Id seriously like more info and details just so i can adjust and keep in mind for future agm's
