Thread: Unhappy Tkachuk
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>You can't possibly imagine the Blues would consider that for a second...





... and that only makes it worse, which seemed impossible.</div></div>

At this point, I think Thomas is the only guy that can get this trade done if the Blues really want Tkachuk. I mention Norris because if the Blues want to get a top 6 center back, they could opt for Norris or Pinto (IMO, if I'm the Blues, I ask for Pinto). But one of them four quarters = a dollar trades isn't going to work with Ottawa... they got Tkachuk pretty long term, so it's gonna have to be an asset of near equal value, and Thomas is the one guy that fits the description.

Thomas is worth more than him, IMO, but it depends how much the Blues want him.

Thread: Explanation in thread - Do I finally win over mokumboi
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Augustus</b></div><div>In the absence of an explanation, I have to assume this is a Mox-esque defense of your favorite team's assets.

A starting goalie and a 3LD for a 3LD (let's say, a "number 4 or 5 defenceman", in that parlance), a likely later 1st and a 4th. A Cup winning goalie at that. I'll wait to hear more, if you have more. I've shown to be receptive.

...Though I do appreciate a good quip.</div></div>

Binnington walks a fine line between liable and reliable. My complaint with him is the same as Markstrom... he's "not all there" sometimes and because of that, his team's fate teeters on whether he's in a good or bad place. In New Jersey, he's going to be in a bad place, because they don't really protect the net, which means he's probably going to be pretty pissed off with the guys playing in front of him, and he most certainly doesn't appear shy about those things.

I'd entertain giving them a top 12 protected first next year for the guy, but not with the D... the 4th... whatever, that's a scratch ticket
