Thread: Lets do this
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>noted</b></div><div>THE BLUES ARE NOT GOING TO TRADE FOR ANOTHER 5’9” LHD</div></div>

Gryz is not your prototypical short offensive defenseman. He is ABSOLUTELY ELITE defensively and can move the puck with the best of them. We need to stop worrying about size and just get Parayko someone that CP doesn't have to try to bail out every game, and Gryz is just that. If you think the blues should pay a premium for Chychrun, or get a lesser, yet bigger dman in Soucy, that's fine, but lets not try to force ourselves to get the next Scandella in FA because he's tall

Thread: Totally speculating
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Chopper02</b></div><div>Beau isn't really a "stud". He's a good player and could help out the 2nd line, but has never hit 40 points. He likely would have, but has had injury issues. To me this deal is fair given Tarasenko's recent history. But if medical doctors (not the Blues) say he's good to go then I believe it. He showed he still has it in game 4 last year.</div></div>

Beau's metrics are borderline elite over the last 3 years, he would have been 3rd in total value on the blues last year behind Faulk and O'Reilly. The blues would jump at the opportunity of a 1 for 1 deal at Vladdy's current value. Beau was just slightly less valuable than Landeskog was last year. If you can snag him, that takes pressure off having to give 7 years 63 Million to Gabe, and the blues will be able to address another 2nd line LW or LD
