Thread: Barkov would never get traded
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>littlejerryseinfeld</b></div><div>Barkov is significantly better than Bjugstad.

If for some reason Barkov was traded to Washington, it wouldn't be for that pile of crap.</div></div>

I mean... here's how big Florida wins this trade:

Burakovsky at 21 put up 2.40 points/60 on a second line with Marcus Johansson. Barkov averages 2.37 points/60, career. So as soon as Burakovsky gets healthy, and plays with top six linemates again, Florida has more offense.

Jaskin leads the Caps' forwards in corsi and XGF%, and he's cheap.

Bowey is a future top pair defenseman, who was 11th in points among rookie defensemen last year, until the trade deadline when the Caps grabbed Kempny and benched him.

Barber is the current AHL player of the month, and has 38 points. He's ready to move up and will eventually be a decent NHL wing.

Plus I gave twice as much total value in picks as Pittsburgh gave for Bjugstad.

You got more jokes? Or anything about hockey to add?

Thread: Resign Stastny and trade for a top 6 wing. Is this a contender?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eli</b></div><div>Well, every Blues fan on this board has spent the last year telling the Caps they would never trade their three best prospects and a high first pick for Nick Backstrom, so I'm certainly not going to suggest that here...

...and the whole board has made it clear that Brooks "leading playoff defensemen in hits, plus/minus, and SCF GWG" Orpik has negative trade value, so....

...yeah. The Blues are probably just destined to spend another year rebuilding, because no appropriate trade partners exist who have any legitimate #1 centers who have been in the top 20 centers in points for the last six straight years, or any defensemen with "testosterone" to get Saint Louis out of its funk. Sorry to hear it, guys. Best of luck.</div></div>

Nonsense.
-If Tavares leaves NYI, he'll be a Blue.
-Blues have pieces to trade for one of Draisatl, Hoffman, RoR, or RNH. Any of those players would improve the Blues top 6.
-With players like Roussel, Grabner, Maroon, and Reaves on the market, the Blues could land one or more of those guys and dramatically improve the bottom 6.
-I absolutely expect a trade on defense (I'm personally hoping the Blues acquire Mayfield or Nurse).
-If Allen has a bounce back year, Blues can compete with the lame offense they already have. This is unlikely. But--some modest acquisitions like what the OP described, paired with some strategic addition by subtraction and a couple veteran leaders with some cajones could work wonders, regardless of the goaltending.
