Thread: Blues need to shed cap
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>What??? Enjoy your custom reality, I'm done with this silliness.</div></div>

lmao you still on this? give it up already. Completely unnecessary to dig this up out of the grave.
Also your math on Schwartz is way off but since you had to bring this up, I figured I'd point that out since you like to throw out "custom realities". Schwartz career average over his 9 year career is 16.2 goals (18.25 if you go with 8 season and erase his two game season in 2011-12) and 40.4 pts per season. Where are you getting "23 per 82 games for his career, and he scores at a higher rate in the playoffs, as seen on the way to the Cup". Unless I missed something, again, I think you need to recheck your math. Take away his 2019 playoff season and his career playoff stats are laughable. I appreciate what he did in 2019 but man, you're really trying hard to make a case to promote this guy as something that he clearly is NOT.

Thread: (STL/MTL) - Allen and 2022 7th RD pick for 2020 3rd RD pick and 2020 7th RD pick
Pretty fair trade for both teams IMO. The clear winner in this is Jake Allen. He gets an opportunity to showcase his talents with a different club, this time in the East, before he becomes a free agent after next year.

I gotta give it to Doug Armstrong for pulling the trigger on this trade so early. Not only does he free up cap space, but he does so before goalie musical chairs officially starts. While you can argue that the return isn't very much for Allen, the Blues could have received much less once goalies started to sign. Blues were able to get decent compensation in return and have their pick of where to send him before alot of doors closed on them and again, seems to me that they were able to send Allen to a competitive team in the process. It really helps out both clubs.

I'm not too crazy about Montreal tying up so much cap space in two goalies but they atleast have options by acquiring Allen. He's a proven netminder that actually gives Price a solid backup incase he goes down to injury or needs a few extra games off for rest. Who knows what Montreal has in their plans, they could possibly listen to trade offers for either goalie at the deadline now if they choose to do so.

I like this for both teams and especially for the Snake!

Legit source of information like you trolling these forums for your "facts"? lmfao. I could have presented any link and you'd find a reason to complain, it's all you do. Plain and simple facts, people are talking about the possibility of the Blues trading Schwartz. Whether it be on STLgametime, instagram, twitter, facebook, it doesn't matter the source, the FACTS are people are talking about it and where there's smoke, there's usually fire.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>If you really thought you had a great point, you would not have low bridged his offensive contributions (23 per 82 games for his career, and he scores at a higher rate in the playoffs, as seen on the way to the Cup). And obviously, reducing Schwartz to just a goal total ignores more than half of what makes him essential to the Blues. On top of all that, he's younger than Schenn, O'Reilly, Petro, Vladdy and Frenchy. Are we going to play pretend that they're now suddenly useless trash as well?

Hey, if you have some legit link to share to back your assertion that he can be had, pass it on over. Short of that, I call BS.</div></div>

I dunno man, maybe try searching for yourself? Just because you don't believe it or it crushes your little dreams doesn't mean people aren't talking about it. Do your own research and get your head out of the clouds. I could find several other articles of people discussing this possibility because frankly, I don't care. Schwartz isn't as good as you think lmao, he's a borderline third line player. All of those players you mentioned may be older but they are in an entirely different skillset than 17. If you can trade 17 for assets, free up cap space and keep promising young talent then you do that every day of the week!

Thread: Petro Canada
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DiehardRedWingsFan58</b></div><div>Tell me who else is going to be able to afford him? If he wants to go to a contender, There's zero contenders that can afford to pay him what he'll command. If he wants to go to a legitimate contender. Then he's going to have to take a lot less money. If he wants to get paid big money then those are the teams that can do it.</div></div>

That's exactly what I've been saying. The only way Petro takes max money is to go to a noncontender. A simple cash grab. If he wants to play for a contender, he's not going to get 9mil a year. He's going to have to take a price cut, and if he doesn't take a discount to stay in StL then your guess is that he already has his mind made up. I can't see any teams spending major money right now, but with Petro knowing he will have to take a price cut, it'll be his choice if he wants to stay in StL.
