I think centers are more valuable than wingers. I also love that Matthew can play all 3 (5v5, PP, PK) where Kyrou is 2 (5v5 and PP). Now, you could convince me that a top 6 of 19-18-25 and 20-10-89 is better than 19-18-89 and 20-90-10. I guess it depends on how you view Schenn moving forward. Do you think he can eat the minutes ROR does, or is he more of a winger for the back end of his deal. The answer to that question is really what you have to answer not really Kyrou vs ROR

How I would Rank them:
Tkachuk/ROR
Tkachuk/Kurou
Kyrou/ROR plus assets

I get it, Jordan Kyrou is a player that is rarely seen in STL. The reason I am good with it is you still have to sign him next year and you just don't even have the money to have Tkachuk, Thomas, and Kyrou. So if I am going all in on money for either Tkachuk or Kyrou (as in you can only pay one) give me Tkachuk every single time. So if that is the case, why not use him as a major trade piece, maybe you are able to keep a neighbours and bolduc, so you are set up to hopefully keep the window open for a cup longer than we would think as we stand today

I get the sentiment, but you are not getting him next year as a UFA. His big deal is coming this year to the team that trades for him. No team (Blues included) are going to trade without at least the assurance Matthew wants to be here in the long haul. You either trade for him now, or watch him play somewhere else for the next 8 years

As a blues fan, as long as an extension is in place (likely) they absolutely should do this deal.

I am not going to be picky here, miles is a good player and fits well on that third line. Take him, get a pick, have jersey take the whole contract and move on to make the team better

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kerems</b></div><div>Do you think isles go for this with Tarasenko's injury history?</div></div>

Is it a gamble? Yes. And I get Isles fans being cautious. But what if it does work out and he's a 30 goal scorer again. Beau may be too valuable in your eyes and that's fine, but after losing eberle, I think they need a goal scorer to compete, and if that only costs you a guy who has yet to reach the 20 goal mark in his career and the 40 point mark (yes I am aware that is a bit skewed with the past 56 game schedule) allowing you to clear roster space for bellows and Wahlstrom, plus add a guy who could be a point per game player in vladdy (health allowing) I would do it.

Totally get it, but I think it is a great piece for the blues, So I didn't ask for anything else and did a swap of picks.

Thread: Based on rumors

Regarding Tarasenko- that is just not true, Blues don't "have" to retain any salary. When they say retain salary, all that means is what it costs against the cap

I don't hate the trade from a blues perspective but Armstrong isn't eating 3.5 million in salary for two years

Probably right, like I said above, I think the rangers second is probably fair but the way my brain was working was trying to re coup a first that we lost in the Jones deal that I probably underpaid CBJ

Honest opinion, too streaky of a player, gets hurt way too often to trust him to play 75 games a year, and his production is not going to fit what he is going to get on the open market. I tried to see if I could get sort of a 2 players for the price of 1 and see how it looks. Let's all be honest here, no way any GM does any of these deals, but I am trying to put a baseline of where this team will look next year and what would even be out there as an option

Thread: We need LW

Tbh I did this mostly to see what people thought of valuations for players. I don't know that I really should have included the jones deal, but I honestly don't know his value. Is he still an elite defenseman? How much leverage does CBJ actually have with him saying he's not re-signing? Look I don't think the Blues really even call (Even if I think they should) and honestly other teams will have more to offer than the blues will. Vince Dunn is also an interesting case because I think he is worth somewhere in the 23-45 range of a pick, whatever that is. As a blues fan, I am obviously going to be biased on value, but I think they are in a tough spot here as they feel they really only have 2-3 more years of a "cup window" (Armstrong's words not mine) but unless they really add some pieces that can help, colorado is going to walk over them for those 3 years and then those big term contacts they gave to the likes of Faulk/Schenn/Krug etc are going to hurt for the long run
