Thread: On the rise
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Duggysdanglers</b></div><div>There’s a chap in St Louis by the name of Vince Dunn. Needs a new deal. It’ll cost a few dollars. The Blues are already over the cap.</div></div>
There was a rumour in St. Louis a couple of months ago that Steen's career was done because of injury. When Armstrong was talking about the Krug signing on Friday, he said that Steen has an injury that is not progressing and because of this we won't need to make any moves to be cap compliant next season. So it looks like he is LTIRetired and that would give us just under $5m in space after Kyrou takes his roster spot.

As for Dunn... it looks very unlikely he'll be back. He'll be traded and Mikkola will be on the roster.

I just don't see us moving Bozak unless we're targeting a big signing.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gofnut999</b></div><div>You are over the cap already. Unless you can move Bozak you don’t have the cap space.

What about a bigger deal? Debrusk/Urho/2nd for Schwarz and Dunn. Just spitballing. I know Blues would like to extend JS, this would give them some cap relief and long term security though.</div></div>
There was a rumour at the end of the season that Steen had an injury and his career was done. Armstrong said after the Krug signing that Steen has an injury that isn't progressing and we don't need to make any moves to be cap compliant. So the assumption just now is that after Kyrou replaces Steen on the roster, then the Blues have just shy of $5m in space with the Dunn roster spot open.

I can't see Schwartz being moved. The fact that he left Newport recently suggests that he wants a smooth contract negotiation with the Blues, and avoid the constant issues that Armstrong has with Newport.

I could see Armstrong targeting a deal around DeBrusk and Dunn with smaller makeweights, but that would rely on the rumours of Boston being open to moving DeBrusk being true. I don't watch enough of them to accurately say what would be fair in terms of makeweights.
