Thread: If the Blues DONT Sell
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheEarthmaster</b></div><div>I think Tarasenko is all but certain to be traded, seeing as he's not re-signing here and the Blue are playing fine without him. But the other guys, it might be a toss up. There's a lot of guys on the market, and there's a lot of teams that are (rightfully) more focused on moving as high up in the draft as possible. People are unwilling to move 2023 picks. They should still sell because I don't really want them to re-sign any of these guys but I don't know if there will be the market that will allow Armstrong to radically reshape the franchise like he did in 2017/2018. Really depends on if he can talk up O'Reilly despite his mediocre play and how aggressively Tarasenko will use his NTC against the Blues.</div></div>

I would have to politely disagree. If ROR and VT come back and look healthy, I think they both net a 1st rd'r +. I think Barbie and the rest could net at least a 2nd, 3rd and maybe another prospect. VT is a goal scorer that all teams should covet, the others play a tough style that teams like in the playoffs and all have more than enough o-fence to help any playoff team. Just my opinion.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KrakenTheCode</b></div><div>First off, I appreciate the thought you've put into considering this from different sides.

I think Seattle may hold some interest in a defenseman like Perunovich, as special teams is still a work in progress and they could still use some more people in the Blueline Pipeline. That being said, I'm not sure they'd want to give up Sprong to make that happen, as he's carved out a regular role with the team and still has RFA control, meaning he has the potential to be a long term piece of the Kraken puzzle. I think if Seattle went after Perunovich, they'd rather use draft capital or move Donato or Geekie before Sprong. I guess we'll see though.</div></div>

I can understand that! I'm hoping that the Blues do sell and maybe they can move Perunovich for Lind and a pick. What's your take on Kole Lind? I feel he hasn't gotten a real shot in the NHL and was wondering why?

Thread: Selling UFAs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KrakenTheCode</b></div><div>I don't think Seattle's going to have a ton of interest in taking on Krug's contract for the next several seasons. Even if he's still a productive player right now, that could very easily change and I'm pretty sure they wouldn't want to run the risk of being stuck with such an albatross contract. Plus the fact that he's out injured for at least the next few weeks doesn't help matters.

I also doubt Seattle would want to swap out one of their better defensive d-men in Soucy for an offensive d-man in Krug, which would upset the defensive balance somewhat. While it's true they could use some help on the power play, there are plenty of more affordable options the Kraken could pursue to aid in that area rather than tie themselves to Krug through 2027.</div></div>

Thanks for the non judgmental feedback. My only drawback was SEA losing Soucy. Plus, don't think Krug waives for anyone but DET or a team close to Michigan.
