Thread: Blues could be something in 2 years

Personally I'd rather have Provorov for 2 years instead of Sanheim for 8. If it works out with Provy then they can decide to keep him or let him walk. Take on that Sanheim contract and you're stuck with it for that whole time. It's not as easy to get rid of left handed defensemen as it is right handed which is why Parayko could be dealt.

He doesn't like anything unless he does it. It's a really solid package. Would just have to make sure Knies signs

Which the Blues should be willing to do for Parayko. If not they're ridiculously short sided.

He controls his destiny and has a questionable contract. Before I said he'd get a first but I'm not so sure anymore

Edmonton won't trade Broberg for Parayko. That creates a hole on the left side.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>xercuses</b></div><div>Still didn’t drop the retention
Also I assume one more prospect would have to be added and make it a 23 first</div></div>

In this scenario they used the 23 first on Chychrun who is the more coveted defenseman. But I think we as Blues fans need to be honest with ourselves here. Parayko is not going to command much due to age + cap reasons not to mention he controls his destiny which kills a lot of value for him as well.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BluesBandit</b></div><div>What do you have to offer? The Blues don’t want to rebuild so it would have to be something very good now</div></div>

Unfortunately, the Blues need to do a retooling/rebuilding of some sort just like Boston in 2015. They lack the dynamic talent and leadership that other up and coming teams have so they need to get that back.

Thread: (NSH/TBL) - Jeannot for Foote, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>budgeteam</b></div><div>Barbashev is a UFA. He also doesn't have a replacement level cap hit like Jeannot. That's a lot of the value, Tampa can fit him in their lineup and retain the rights to him to re-sign, or trade and recoup some of the picks. He isn't a pure rental. Add in that he plays a style that is coveted by Cup contenders which Barbashev does not.

The only reason Jeannot was available for this kind of package was the uncertainty around how effective he will be going forward since he is a late bloomer who had an unlikely path to the NHL and took a step back after his breakout season. A 20-30 goal RFA power forward would not be available otherwise for a package of late 1st/2nd/3rds and a bunch of late picks.</div></div>

Barbashev had a cheap cap hit, absolutely plays the rough physical game teams covet in the playoffs and is only 2 years older who also can score about 20g. The only thing you said that even remotely makes sense is the Jeanot is an RFA, but even that shouldn't command the return he received. Tampa overpaid by a large large margin.

Thread: Without big moves

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Koskinen_The_Great</b></div><div>I dont understand how they let the Penguins of the hook. They could have gotten an asset for taking Kapanen's cap hit. This is as bad as 2020 when Armstrong traded a 2nd to Mtl for Marco, a month, a damn month after the Sabres traded Scandella to Mtl for a 4th.

Armstrong has no clue how to use leverage.

Oh. Oilers accept.</div></div>

I dont think the Kapanen move is necessarily bad tor the Blues since he only has one year left on his contract and isn't necessarily a cap dump, but Army does a lot of dumb stuff. Then again, if not for Bouwmeester having a heart attack they wouldn't have had to trade for Scandella.

I dont hate the move. He's decent defensively and can score, just needs his confidence restored. If he finds his stride, there's more trade bait for lower picks
