Kerfoot and Engvall does nothing for blues. I do not know much about miettinen. But LeBron also speculated that parayko was being traded for nylander lol. We will see what happens. Also do you think mtl is going to let tor walk away with two huge pieces nope.
With where everyone is with respect to the cap, the Blues are retaining. It's merely a question of how much to get it to all work.Might get that if Blues retain 50%
I don't think Hoffman/Bozak bring back as much. If they do, it's only because ...I actually think the Palmieri and Zajac trade is a good gauge for Bozak and Hoffman. I know not all pieces are equal, but a top 6 winger and bottom 6 center(for the contending team) both at 50% retained returned a 1st, conditional 3rd/4th and a couple of depth contracts.
I think the Blues would be looking for something similar if they decide to package them together.
Bozak and Hoffman added to a team for a combined 4.5 million that is expiring would be a solid boost for a contender looking to add to their depth, pp and pk.
I could also see the Blues take back an expiring cap dump to up the value a bit. Maybe move the pick up to a solid second or add on a B prospect to the package the Islanders paid.
So every time someone incredulously asks how do you think ______ is going to get that much? point to things like this. Do not underestimate someone's desperation and their need to outbid others, and the ever-present belief that he'll be different if he's on our roster, he'll be better!Frank Seravalli was on TSN and said the market for Hoffman is heating up quickly with, MTL, TOR, BOS, CAR, FLA, And Possibly PIT showing interest.
This is not my favorite trade idea ever, but it's certainly better than some will propose. It's in the ballpark of what I'd expect unless someone goes in hot and heavy for Hoffman soon.LeBrun is speculating/reporting
Bozak and Hoffman to the Leafs at 50% retained
Kerfoot, Engvall, a prospect and a 2nd or 3rd to St. Louis depending on the prospect.
On of the sports talk shows in St. Louis is reporting that St. Louis wants Miettinen in the trade.
Bozak @ 50% for Engvall, Barabanov, and a late pick?
Why kerfoot a dn Engvall are not needed. This makes zero sense for bluesThis is not my favorite trade idea ever, but it's certainly better than some will propose. It's in the ballpark of what I'd expect unless someone goes in hot and heavy for Hoffman soon.
