Blues accept this in a heartbeat (assuming Krug agrees to waive his NTC).

that's definitely the most egregious error in this mock draft.

Thread: Krug Kyrou out Kane Hanifin in

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lunatik</b></div><div>Flames would need to add to Hanifin, this is assuming the Blues already want to get out of Kyrou's contract, which I highly doubt. I think #25 & Neighbors/Bolduc as a foundation makes more sense for the Blues.</div></div>

we'd have to move one of our top-4, but one of our late 1sts + Neighbours for Hanifin (with an extension) and maybe a sweetener (I don't know, a 2024 3rd or 4th?) would be pretty close, for me.

There's not enough time for it to happen, realistically.

Thread: Krug Kyrou out Kane Hanifin in

I like Hanifin, but that's a massive overpay.

It also feels like Krug at 50% retained with a 1st is poor value, but I also realize we're in a tough spot with him.

Thread: All In on Bedard

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ginandtacos</b></div><div>I don't think there's any package big enough to get CHI to pass on Bedard.</div></div>

If the Lindros trade is a rough framework of what a Bedard trade could look like:

-Van's 2023 and 2024 1st
-Elias Pettersson (C)
-Thatcher Demko
-Aatu Raty
-Vasily Podkolzin
-at least one more piece, probably two.

and even then, I'm not sure the Hawks accept.

Thread: Winnipeg Jets Blockbuster Trade with Red Wings then Trade for Karlsson

two firsts and 5 players for taking on Karlsson at $10m is an overpay.

a 33-year old player who's missed 20% of his team's games in the last 5 years, nearly doubled his career Shot %, and would be in the top-10 of highest paid defenders even with 25% retained. He also has a NMC that he can use to limit the number of teams he will accept in a trade.

I don't know what you're expecting here.

Thread: Jefferson Style

moving up from 5OA to 2OA in this draft will cost you at least one extra 1st, probably more.

A 2nd and a 4th would be enough to move up 3 spots in the 20's.

Thread: Offseason plans

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Brian_O_Blivion</b></div><div>Karlsson will be traded. 100% guaranteed. Even if not, Grier will keep a retention slot open for the possibility. Would be reckless not to.</div></div>

what does that trade look like? If Grier's public comments are any indication, he's more likely to retain 25-30% than 50%.

Karlsson's contract ($8-ishM for 4yrs plus a NMC) and injury history suggests to me the return would be quite underwhelming:

-NHL player with a decent-to-poor contract (for balancing out the money)
-C+/B- prospect
-2nd/3rd round pick

Yep. Maybe they give up the Dallas 1st, but even then I'm skeptical we give that up for a guy that's a UFA in 2024.

they're certainly going to keep it instead of trading for two RFA's, a UFA and a lottery ticket.

Thread: Vegas tdl

Blues aren't going to invest $11m in our goalie situation for 2+ seasons.

A first and a prospect for a couple months of Tarasenko isn't bad. I'd rather have another prospect or possibly a 2nd/3rd than Lehner.

Thread: Culture Change

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Chopper02</b></div><div>Personally I think we move on from ROR too. Only way yo keep ROR is too trade Schenn but I don't see that happening. Now if we did a Schenn+Bolduc+1st and lesser player (Borts/Mikkola?) for MT, I'd be all for it. This gives Calgary a top 6 gritty forward, a good prospect and a 1st plus clears out space for Tkachuk.</div></div>

I think we move on from ROR, too. It's tough to see how the finances fit (unless ROR takes a comically big discount), and recent history with Backes/Petro/Perron suggests Army will be unsentimental.

4.6m x 3+ years for a top-pairing LHD (at 23) when Bill Armstrong/Yotes FO has identified him as a franchise building block. they would only move him for a package equal to or better than what Buffalo got for Eichel (without a serious injury or looming NMC, to boot).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ricochetii</b></div><div>I'd say your best offensive prospect and a 1st should be sufficient, if you include a non-cap dump player under contract.

Arizona considers Chychrun a cornerstone, and he's on a great contract.

It's one thing if "your best offensive prospect and a 1st" is all that you would give up as a GM, but Arizona is only going to deal him if they're blown away by multiple firsts and 1-2 excellent prospects.

which beat writer? and even if they did, it wouldn't be at that price; that's more than what Armstrong paid for Jay Bouwmeester in 2013 and Ryan Miller in 2014 (Blues were able to dump cap in that deal).
