Last thing the Blues need to do is add more salary to the backend via a very average to below average defenseman at the expense of another part of their roster.

(PHI/STL) - Hayes for 2024 6th (STL)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Roperttos</b></div><div>Easy win for the Blues. Getting a Hayes at only 3,5 mil for a 6th is great. Philly lost all leverage after the Johansen trade</div></div>
They never had leverage. Hayes is north of 30 with lots of term and up and down play. They did not have an alternate option, since a buyout would cost them more than retaining half.
Cap space is a weapon when rebuilding. Nobody else was going to take Hayes. Sitting on him wasn't going to raise his value.
Free agency is bad this year, so teams seem to be turning to each other to take bad mid-term contracts instead of going into free agency and signing worse contracts. GMs of rebuilding teams seem to be using this as an opportunity to fix mistakes and create cap flexibility to work with for the rebuild. The half retained on contracts like Hayes and Johansen are sunk costs. That's what people fail to understand. There isn't magically going to be a way to spark up a market for these kind of players. It's just not going to happen. Philadelphia, Boston, and Nashville are all likely thrilled to clear the cap they did, even if it didn't return any real assets. That same opportunity may not be there next off season.

(PHI/STL) - Hayes for 2024 6th (STL)
I get it it's a cap dump, but only a 6th? I figured the Flyers might be able to get a bit more than that for Hayes 50% retained.

I would likely do this. Problem is Calgary presumably won't and Leddy may not waive.

(CBJ/LAK/PHI) - 2023 1st (LAK), 2024 2nd (CBJ) for Petersen, Walker, Grans, 2024 2nd (LAK) for Provorov, Hodgson, Connauton
LA gets cap space to extend Vilardi and Gavrikov and potentially add Hart or Hellybuyck in another trade
CBJ get a Dman who in a lesser role may do much better
Philly kickstarts the rebuild

How cheaply can they do this
They could get cheaper.
Get a small pick for Seabrook and Myers post signing bonus. That would be 3.4 million real dollars for 8.275 million in cap. They can trade Schmaltz for a good futures trade saving 7.5 million in real money (or 3.1 million aggregate) for an additional 3 million of cap.

Why is Vladar worth a 2nd?
Regardless, the Blues don't need Vladar. Hofer is being groomed to be the starter or at least 1B to Binnington next season or the following. Pretty much the same structure as Husso.

The blues have no reason to trade Vrana, unless someone wants to overpay for him. Mid round picks are not enough

Fair deal, but if I were to pick, I'd give the win to St. Louis.
A solid 1st round C prospect for an expiring depth player is a darn good return.
