Speculation: Are The Blues Sellers?

[Blueston]

A
Vince Dunn
Samuel Blais (500k retain)


a
Artturi Lehkonen
Cale Fleury
2e pick 2021 MTL
4e pick 2021 STL

Something like that could be of interest, depending on how Blues view Lehkonen and Fleury.

I am not interested in Victor Mete in a trade for Vince Dunn. We already have 5'9" Torey Krug on LD and 5'9" LD Scott Perunovich in the system. Sorry to rabbit on about the size issue, but we really don't need another 5'9" LD. Montreal's best 2nd and a 3rd in 2022 would be my asking price. If salary has to go back, perhaps Lehkonen, but I am not sure if the Blues could even afford him.

 

[Frenzy31]

I am not interested in a trade where the highest pick we get for Dunn is a second.

Yeah, we likely lose him in the expansion draft, but better that then losing both he and Sunny D and walking out with a second rounder. No thanks from this Blues fan

The first thing the Blues should be trying to do is figuring out a way to reverse that Binnington contract.

Oh you so funny....

Why? To replace him with who? Binnington hasnt been stellar but he's been getting little to no run support and the team in front of him has been giving up a ton of dangerous opportunities that the opposition are converting on.

 

[Colt55]

Let's see how the team is when all is healthy barbashev and parayko soon to be back.

 

[HBK27]

The Blues have a veteran team that just won a Cup two seasons ago (coming back from an atrocious start to the season) and are still in a playoff spot. The California teams are not going to challenge for a playoff spot, so all St. Louis has to do is beat out the Coyotes - a team that is doubtful to be buyers at the deadline.

I get that a 1st round series against Vegas or Colorado will be tough, but why would the Blues consider selling? This team is built for the playoffs and it would only be a mild surprise if they went on a run.

 

[YP44]

The blues have been destroyed by injuries. Its impressive they are in a playoff spot.

St. Louis will get healthy and then be a top 3 team in the division again.

 

[Moose and Squirrel]

Lost 9 of their last 11. Still in the final playoff spot in the west but 17 of their final 20 games are against teams far ahead of them in the standings. Do they sell off?

nah.. a hockey trade? maybe.. a selloff... noper

 

[Moose and Squirrel]

Wrap him up... we’ll take him!

Just one more thing...Does he backcheck? Lol

honestly, been very surprised at his backchecking. way underrated in that regard

 

[Moose and Squirrel]

Tough loss losing Parayko. I heard he was skating, but he must have had a setback?

he is... they're just being VERY cautious with his return

 

[Moose and Squirrel]

Zach Sanford? Asking price from Blues if the needle turns towards selling?

personally, 2 2nds or a 2nd and a decent prospect

 

[Moose and Squirrel]

dunn is probably worth a 2nd. If someone offered a first he would be gone already.

yeah.. he's not fetching a 1st.. not sure why he keeps banging that drum. ain't happenin

 

[Moose and Squirrel]

I wouldn't mind selling Schwartz to Colorado to go win a Cup where he played college...provided he returns as a UFA next season.
Hoffman can go to the highest bidder. Really not a whole lot else available unless somebody wants a 3C...then Bozak could be had with 50% retention.

have a feeling if schwartz went to colorado, he'd end up staying there

I think we could work something

Not sure if serious .
Put it like this, if that was the asking price I would politely walk away... at a brisk pace.

Win a Cup before the big contract will always pown getting a Big contract but no Cup.

Y’all talking about Binny like he was Price or Tavares or some other crazy paid person who never brought the Cup home that they were paid to do.

Binny did and he makes less than those other people. I’m fine with his contract but the guy does need help around him if we’re hunting for Cup no.2

Exactly. You don't let your cup winning goalie leave just because he might be overpaid by a million dollars or so. Of course he might end up being underpaid as well, no one knows. I love the fact that Binnington triggers opposing fans so much, that might be worth the extra million a year itself.
