Thread: Offseason after early exit
Blues can't really afford to do 3 things that you are proposing in that scenario.

1. Pay Marner 11.5m
2. Trade Parayko and expect the defense not to be an absolute mess
3. Trade the 24 1st

The combination of all 3 things is a recipe for disaster. We don't have any semblance of a Defensive prospect pool outside of Lindstein and a few guys who could get some games at the NHL level at the bottom of the lineup. We also cannot trade Parayko unless we're fulling revamping the defense. In this scenario you're asking us to trade Parayko and spend an excess of 5 million of our somewhat limited cap on Marner, while trading our best chance at adding a plus level prospect on the defensive side in our 2024 1st. Time and construction isn't right for the Blues to do something like this. Not a knock on Marner, or really a reflection of value alone. It just creates a catastrophic mess that we can't get out of anytime soon.

I posted it before you all said your bleh and I'll repeat it so you can see it again. I am aware this is an ideal scenario. It was more about the math.</div></div>
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, huh. Sounds like you’ve got deeper issues than whether or not you like our logic. You are one sad, strange little man, and you have my pity.

Thread: Packages for another top 6 forward
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CanucksFansRtheSmartest</b></div><div>5.5x2 for a guy that has only been over a Pp/g once in his career and never over 65 point scorer really isn't a team friendly deal its market price, I'd look a guy like Meier for the PB deal Meier went for a late 1st a decent prospect and a decent roster player in Zutterland but Merier was coming back as a rfa and at 50% retained with other minor assets, I'd easily argue my proposed package above is around the same as the NJ Merier deal 1st = 1st 2&gt; Mukhamadullin Zutterland = Klimvoich and two 4ths. The package is inline with what other wingers have gone for recently, no teams have the cap to take on a big contract right now so well PB is certainly a good player at almost 6mil I'd argue its very team friendly, team friendly sure but definitely not very team friendly</div></div>

I would argue that your package isn’t close to what Meier returned. Klimovich is closer to Ohkutiok than Muk or Zetterlund. Your 2nd also isn’t conditional as the one in the Meier trade was. So unless you are of the belief that 2nd + 4th + 4th is = to Muk + Zetterlund + 2nd with conditions possibly making it a first then I don’t see the comparison.
