<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>1- Heh. Join the club.

2- People love to mention this, but it's entirely irrelevant. That was a strategic maneuver to hang onto Dunn that Army A) almost certainly knew wouldn;t actually work &amp; B) if it did may well have allowed them to snare Landeskog from the Avs, which obviousy would have made the "free" loss of Tarasenko more than worth it.

3- Draft capital would be secondary, a young guy with upside much better. But whatever it was it had to end up with the Blues having something to help them now (whether that was Landeskog or some other trade target or a young guy with upside who already contributes). This was never going to be a pile of futures deal unless that pile was simply too mind-blowing to pass up.

4- Nah. It's a barely noticeable amount.</div></div>

If / when the Blues trade Tarasenko, they will either do it to completely eliminate the salary or to get a piece for right now in return. The Blues are still in a window where they can win. They aren't thinking rebuild.
