Thread: No Thomas or Tarasenko

Figured as much. Just a thought - don't hate Bortuzzo at the 3rd RHD spot but just kinda wanted to see what could jumpstart the team. We don't have really any forwards on the taxi squad/AHL that can provide a spark

Thread: Expansion year

I believe as was the case with Vegas expansion draft, NTC cannot prevent being selected in the expansion draft. Only NMC can prevent a move.

Thread: Minor tweaks

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeastModeUnknown</b></div><div>Honestly. He is slow as hell...</div></div>

I feel like our entire team has stepped up their games and are playing quickly except him...He is the one player that I think we could trade and the culture wouldnt shift too much

Thread: Buying and Selling

He has proven to be unbeatable at times and it seems that is problems are more mental. See his GAA and save % on the road this year. At home he is awful, possibly because his mental issues with STL fans

Thread: Making STL Potentially Competitive

I like the idea of trading for Quick. Maybe Allen, Fabbri and a second round pick could get him. Not too interested in Bjugstad as we have cheaper depth players in the minors and are looking to get faster. Thomas, Kyrou, etc are bringing speed.

Potentially could see us shipping Maroon off for a late round pick as well.

Anaheim was just a placeholder. Those 3 players could go to any contending team

Calm down dude. We have had all this "upside" for years and it is not working. Embrace change. You're lucky I chose to not report you for your comment. Choose your words wisely or be somewhat intelligent.

Thread: New LHD

Dunn has been a turnover machine this year and Krug is a top pair LHD which is hard to come by. Bringing Backes back to help Petro solidfy the leadership plays a role also. He is not the same player, but I believe that Steen and Petro butt heads, while Backes and Petro were best friends

Thread: San Antonio Roster

Now that we have NHL center depth with ROR, Schenn, Bozak, Thomas and Barbashev, it is so nice to see we have young wingers with potential. Really hope Walman or Lindbohm can take the next step and replace Bouw/Gunnarsson after this year

Thread: Big Improvement

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>thewookie1</b></div><div>We’d want Thomas or Kyrou over Kostin due to talent and time until NHL arrival</div></div>

Thomas is untouchable and Kostin is a lot closer than you think. If it were Kyrou; I’d probably have to drop the 1st to 2020 second

Thread: Big Improvement

Fair enough. I was just envisioning a shut down 2 way line of Schwartz/ROR/Schenn and then a high-scoring line of Skinner, TJ, Tarasenko...Probably better over the long haul to even them out though.

I just want to be optimistic lol. Settling for ROR alone would leave us in the same spot as having stastny the last 3.5 years

Thread: Trades with EDM and OTT

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeastModeUnknown</b></div><div>I’d rather keep Parayko rather than downgrade thank you</div></div>

A downgrade defensively but the #10 pick makes up for the difference in skill. EDM is not going to trade Draisaitl. We could get RNH + a lesser prospect or Kelfbom/Nurse and #10

Thread: Getting the Captain's buddies

To me, losing Foley and Barby isn't a big deal. They will likely at best be 3rd liners. Walman is harder to give up because I feel like he could become a lesser version of Dunn. That's fair though. We could sign Grabner/Nash (x2)/Neal instead of trading for Zucc. Staal just seems like he would fit like a glove with this team.

Thread: Getting the Captain's buddies

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>A_K</b></div><div>This is way too much youth lost for my liking. I'm fine with trading from our prospect pool, but I think it makes more sense to target guys (like we did with Schenn) that fit into the same age range as our core. Patches and Zucc are on the fringe and Staal at 34 would regress hard if we were to re-sign him.</div></div>

It is and it isn't. I kept Thomas, Kyrou, Husso, Sanford, Dunn. I understand the hesitancy of trading for Staal due to age, but I see us having a 2-3 year window here with Tarasenko, Schenn, Schwartz and Petro all locked up to reasonable salaries. Maybe instead of trading for patches and Zucc, we trade for one elite winger? Or maybe the package to get Staal is too much?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Liverpoolnhl</b></div><div>My goodness, that's a lot to give up for Staal. Where do you think mgmt is with bringing back Stasny, term and $? I keep hearing he is too inconsistent to give much term and $.....</div></div>

You need to give to get. I am sure they are open to it, but if we get Stastny back then we need to get some top flight wingers. Stastny did not help this team get over the hump. He performed better in WPG when he had better wingers

Thread: Trades with STL/ARZ

As a blues fan, I might have to say deal. Hard to give up Kyrou AND 2019 1st. If it was 2018 1st (pick 29) then we have a deal

Thread: Keeping our Prospects

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BluesGetTheCup</b></div><div>Would rather move Sobotka than Berglund. The Carolina trade would need to be Thompson instead of Schmaltz probably.</div></div>

My thought process was Sobotka’s contract ends in two years which is also when Petro and Schenn are free agents. But I agree. Thompson or Kostin instead of Schmaltz would be much more likely

Thread: Trades with OTT and PHI

The only way I see Hutton resigning is if we trade Allen and let Hutton be 1A. Which works perfectly here as Hutton is 1a and we know that Elliott can be a great 1b.

Thread: Hoffman to STL

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gavinray</b></div><div>I replaced him with Jordan Kyrou. Is that better?

It's better, but to secure a top prospect like Kyrou and a potential (depending on recovery from injury) top 6 forward plus a late 1st, you would have to take one of Bergy/Sobotka/Bouwmeester/Gunnarson for cap reasons</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dmh1055</b></div><div>Mrazek is an RFA. To keep his rights you'd have to offer a 10% increase in pay from his prior contracted salary which is over $ 4 million.

I agree. I'd rather have Elliott of the 3 anyway, but I just question if he would even want to come back to share the crease again.

Thread: Hoffman to STL

Robert Thomas is untouchable from STL. Maybe there's a deal if that were Kostin/Thompson, but you'd also need to either retain or take on Berglund/Sobotka.

I'd take Mrazek's rights in return. That way we can pass on Ward and just re-sign him

Thread: New Blue

That’s a strong team right here. I would hope NYI would strongly consider that deal if they get the feeling Tavares is gone. Only slight adjustment I’d make is Bortuzzo over Reinke

Thread: Draisaitl for Tarasenko

Might be fair value wise. But as other fans said above, Tarasenko is our sniper and Draisaitl wouldn’t replace his 40 goals. Also, look at those RWs. Something needs to be done. We have consistently been poor at RW since Vladdy came over. We need another top 6 RW and a top 6 C and I think we are set. Hard to give up our top RW for a center and still need 2 RWs as a result

Forum: Armchair-GMJun. 2, 2018 at 2:19 p.m.

Thread: Resign Stastny and trade for a top 6 wing. Is this a contender?

It’s a fine team but it’s going to result in a 3rd place finish in the central at best. Not a cup contender.
