Thread: If he doesnt resign and he doesnt wanna stay
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>Let’s be real about a couple things. First, yes, it would take a ton more. It would take more if there were no extension involved. It would take a crazy amount more if there were. Second, Liljigren is not a blue chip d prospect.</div></div>

If no extension is in place, the only piece that might be upgraded is 3rd turns into a second OR Liljegren turns into Sandin. That would be fair especially since Ceci is being retained and is UFA next year so no cap issues will come as a result of it.
However, I still wouldn't make this trade as I think it wouldn't be good for the Blues. Petro is an elite d-man but he is also over 30 now.
I also never called Liljegren a blue chip prospect. I said a first would need to be included if there isn't a blue chip.

Thread: palmieri
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gofnut999</b></div><div>He has averaged 29.5 per 82 since joining Devils.

Skinner was a completely different story. Everyone knew Canes had to trade him and he had an NTC which limited where he could go, he blocked a pair of trades according to Canes. Their hands were tied. And they got hosed.

Devils don’t need to trade him. And the market would be a lot better than a Skinner move.

As I said, i doubt they’d even accept a 1st and Seny. It’s not enough.</div></div>

Palmieri is a very good player. That's unquestioned. But again, I don't think he gets a ton in a package. New Jersey would probably Seny, a 1st, maybe an extra piece like a 3rd or 4th, but he won't command a ton. I'm a fan of his and think he's underrated, but isnt considered a game changer by any stretch.

Thread: Kreider is a perfect fit this year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Raising a pick from a 2nd to a 1st is a pretty handsome throw-in, especially in the 2020 draft. Tarasenko is historically a fast healer, I highly doubt he'll be out longer than the regular season, and probably will be back before the end of it. Either way, Kreider has been a shade off offensively for a year now (14g in his last 67gp and less than 10 at even strength, rates that can't even match Sunny and Barby). Don't get me wrong, Kreider is a solid complimentary player, and from what understand he's also a solid teammate. He's also a so-so playoff scorer and a rental that we won't be able to re-sign even if we wanted to (which is not super likely considering everything we need to do in the offseason). Maybe I'm crazy, but I'm not willing to overpay for him.

As for us making the finals again, I can't see why anyone would think our chances are less than pretty damn good.</div></div>

A 1st is rich, but again it's reliant on other factors that may not come to fruition. It's basically the same Zuccarello got last year. I think the issue is Quinn's system in New York. It's more about the east-west game and not the North-South game. Kreider would be in that in st. louis

Thread: Kreider is a perfect fit this year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Our top 6 is filled out fine and our line-up is already hella-flexible. Kreider would likely not be among our 8-10 most important players, and definitely not among the 6-7 most vital guys; that's the very definition of a complimentary piece. A nice one, to be sure, but still supporting cast. In fact, it would be entirely fair to argue that Sanford has been much more valuable this season relative to his cap hit than Kreider.

And the Blues may well make the finals without him. If they can go on an extended roll without Tarasenko and a few other key forwards, just imagine what they will do when everybody is back.</div></div>

I disagree. I think he could end up being amongst our 8-10 important guys for a playoff run. Blues may end up being without Tarasenko even in the playoffs, it just depends on how his shoulder recovery goes plus conditioning. We can talk more value based on cap hit all we want, but the fact is Kreider is a fast heavy body who can shoot, hit, etc. he's not as good as Tank (not a whole lot are) but the Blues need more offense in case Tarasenko is out longer. And if we make the finals again, who cares about that pick? Hell we can make it a 2020 1st instead of a 2021 1st where we don't know what the Blues will do in 2020-2021. It's not a bad deal and chances are they don't make the finals again anyway so it's just kind of a throw in anyway.
