Thread: Big Improvement

Great for the blues. Unfortunately none of the guys the blues traded are thought to better than the players they received. The other teams would decline. They don’t get better in the short or long run. Maybe the ror trade bc of the picks but taking an empty contract in soba would require more

Thread: Pietrangelo+ for Matthews (If JT lands in TOR)

You make that trade in a heartbeat. Unfortunately no team would trade a player like Mathews for that return. Maybe if petro was a young lidstrom or pronger. Honestly outside of petro, the rest are just throw ins and scratch off lotto tickets. It’s really petro for Mathews...and yes, if your the blues you do that all day long.

Thread: 2018: Draft of the Blues

I don’t agree with the moves, but they aren’t untouchable. Tone it down a bit. They can be moved if the value is there and plenty of teams can provide the value if they wanted to. Also it’s not insulting. Seems like the trend is to tank and collect picks. I see what the guys doing, don’t like it, but I see where he’s going.

Thread: Teravainen and Tavares

Change the picks for bergie and soba to 5th(ish)...nobody wants them. You don’t even want them. Add in Thomas or kyrou and you might be able to get turbo. That’s a nice upgrade with jt.

I’d do it in a heart beat. Unfortunately send won’t. Not much value for them compared to what they could get

Thread: Going for the cup without mortgaging the future

Carolina gets a prospect who doesn’t project to better than skinner and goalie who is just a goalie because he’s so hot and cold...and has 3 more years left on his contract. Ottawa loses a a consistent scoring winger for a bad contract, a late first round pick, and two prospects. Neither is well regarded. Foley has the most upside and at best becomes backes-lite. If either team trades those guys, it will be for much more. Would you trade tank, Schwartz or schenn for a similar package?

Thread: Trading Parayko

Edm could get a lot more for drai than a parayko type player and 2 throw ins. Drai is only 22 and his last 2 season had 77 and 70 points. I don’t think they would even listen unless you threw in kyrou and Thomas...even then I don’t see why you would since the odds of either forward being as good as drai is slim. Better off just signing an fa if you edm. Mtl would not make that trade either. Outside of a late first rounder (and another potential late first) they are not getting much back. Thompson and Kostin (who I like) are gambles. Odds are they won’t be better than Gallagher or patches. Plus having to eat bergies contract. Why? They could move each seperately at the deadline and get more than are here.

So how do the trades help Ottawa or Carolina?

Why would carolina give up skinner for those guys? They dont get better and now have bergies contract.

Thread: Contenders

Id do this in a heartbeat if were army. Unforunately the trades are lopsided. No one will give anything of value for bergie unless we throw in a decent puck or prospect. Too much term and salary. Same with sobie. Tb wont give up johnson unless they get someone back to replace him...thompson isnt that guy. Throw in kyrou and maybe. Great moves for the blues but no one is getting any value back.

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 16, 2018 at 2:20 p.m.

Thread: Helping CAR rebuild

I like kostin, but most reports I’ve seen have either player as a “top 9” forward. Not a first line or star. Again, know one knows what any prospect will do. For every Crosby, there plenty of faloons. Neither of these guys, by most reports, project to be better than skinner. So why trade if you’re Carolina? This doesn’t make them better.

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 16, 2018 at 7:48 a.m.

Thread: Helping CAR rebuild

Bergie isn’t worth that. 20 goal guys are common and you are forgetting something...he is paid way too much for way too long. This is the salary cap era. To dump him, blues will have to give up decent pick/ prospect and hopefully get back a third or fourth round pick. Also, why do you think Carolina would trade two young goal scorers for an empty contract in sobie, low level prospect in Barbashev, and two mid level prospects. Odds are the guys the blues trade won’t be as good as either player from Carolina. That’s insane.

Thread: New Season, Fresh Start

Also, No one is desperate enough for 2 third line guys with limited upside, who are overpaid and have the term they carry. Every team has prospects that can do what they do. Keep in mind they don’t bring much to the table. They are just guys. They aren’t good players.

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 15, 2018 at 6:40 p.m.

Thread: New Season, Fresh Start

Blues are better off keeping them than retaining enough salary. They need to dump the salary and term. Retaining doesn’t help the issue.

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 15, 2018 at 11:46 a.m.

Thread: New Season, Fresh Start

Point is that it will be hard to dump them without giving up value. No one wants those guys...not even the blues. Blues will have to give up a solid prospect or a first or second to dump them.

Thread: Players to fit our new core age (26 years old)

Steen is bets served as a third liner. He would be very effective. Kessler isn’t much different than steen so it’s kind of a wash. Unfortunately steen will retire a blue because there is no way anyone will eat that contract.

Thread: New Season, Fresh Start

Teams are not going to give up those picks for mediocre players with the salary and term they have. If you think they are worth that then keep them. If you packages those players with a prospect or a pick, you might get someone to trade for them.

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 12, 2018 at 6:17 p.m.

Thread: Offseason additions / changes

Bergie and soba are not worth a second or third in any way. That is either insanity or idiocy. Both are decent, not great, third liners with too high cap and term for what they offer. Dump them and go young. Blues maybe be able to package the late first rounder and dump steen too. That contract is going to hurt in the next year or so. Then he will be impossible to move. Blues could rebuild quick. They have a couple prospects who look like good second liners or support guys on the top line. Move some cap and sign someone.

Thread: Crazy stuff -Pitt,Buff

Regarding the ROR deal...why do you think that a bunch of crap players are worth a good one? I don’t understand why people think others teams want our garbage. Also, Crosby is a HOFer. They aren’t trading him that. It’s just silly. Maybe kessel, but probably not bc why would pit? Crosby makes his line better. Tank doesn’t. He’s an elite scorer, without a doubt, but Crosby is in another tier.

Thread: Blues with Tavares

Edm would laugh then hang up. Thompson isn’t anything special and you’re packaging a turd in soba. Drais and nurse for pietro and Thomas (or kostin and a first). Drais is locked up for 7 more years too.

Forum: Armchair-GMApr. 21, 2018 at 11:53 p.m.

Thread: Rubbin' the magic lamp.

All but the drais trade are pretty fair. Edm isn’t giving him up and swapping a 2nd rd pick for 3rd to get parayko and a mid level prospect. Thompson doesn’t have a high ceiling. Unfortunately we have give up the first rd pick to dump Steens brutal contract. Throw Thomas in the deal for drais and that’s fair.

Thread: Top 9 Upgrades

It would be great if we could trade all that crap for those players. Since you resigned reaves maybe package him with boumeester and we can get mcdavid by this logic.

Thread: Future is bright.

Ok... no one is giving up anything for Bergie and his brutal contract. Tavares isn't going to be a Blue unless they overpay him. Offensive players do not want to come to STL to play a defensive system.
