Thread: One of the best in the west
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LoganOllivier</b></div><div>I hate to break it to the Blues Fans on here, but this team isn't nearly as good as you think it is. Bozak was a terrible signing. Love the guy and he's a class act but he's too slow for 5v5 these days and at 5 million he's a gross over payment. Also he's 32.

Schenn is a decent player but he's middle 6 at best.

O'Rielly is a very good player and was one of the best 2nd line centres in hockey. He's a bit out of his depth as a number one. The biggest issue facing the Blues though is Goaltending. And that hasn't been addressed.</div></div>

Maybe some people are overhyping the team but I think you are underrating them as well. Schenn and RoR may not be elite 1C guys but I think they are at worst low end 1C/high end 2C. Don't love the AAV for bozak but the term at his age is fine and he is a great player as a 3C. Add in anything fabbri can add, Perron who is a solid mid six winger and at least one of their prospects(most likely thomas who is top 10 in the league by most accounts).

Allen should play much better, last year was by far the worst of his career. Either way last year's team was still 1 game away from the playoffs and upgraded at several spots. May not be the favorite, but neither were the caps. Blues as is should make the playoffs and have a chance to compete with the big boys.

Thread: THE FUTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMTD</b></div><div>Five stars for trading O'Reilly.
Please give me 2 to 4 other players that you think would make this a fair deal. First, second and who?
I am not disagreeing with you, I just want to know who do you think would be fair. Please do not include Dmitrii Sergeev LOL.</div></div>

No chance on Thomas, Kyrou i doubt either. Tage Thompson is the safer but not as much upside guy, Kostin I think could be better than Thomas but is a bigger risk. Could also try for something like 2 of fabbri, sobie/berglund and either schmaltz/walman.

Not saying they have to trade him for that, I just think if the deal is with STL they aren't giving up those top 2, or Parayko

Fair I think is 1st, 2nd, and 2 of Thompson, Fabbri, walman, schmaltz, berglund, sobotka or just Kostin

Thread: Get it done
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quote:</div>Buffalo is going to want more then 3 slugs and a middle to end first round pic for a top 6 center. If the blues go for a big center its going to cost them parayko. Only player with value they have that they can trade besides swartz,Tara,and schenn.</div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quote:</div>Buffalo is not going to trade a top center for a third line player. Makes no sense. Would you trade schenn or Schwartz for a third line player.</div>

Everything out there right now is the ask is a 1st, 2nd and top prospect so I don't think a 1st, two good prospects and a solid roster player is a bad match, could see a 2nd being in there as well. I would not trade Schenn or Scwhartz for a 3rd line player but that doesn't matter because A)they are both better than ROR, younger, and on cheaper contracts and the return isn't a 3rd line player. It is a 3rd line player, 2 solid prospects and a 1st rd pick. This trade may not be accepted but it isn't as wild as you seem to think
