I absolutely think Kyrou is on the table this summer for Hoffman. Especially if you land Tavares (and I hope you guys do). Send some cap back to Ottawa along with Kyrou for Hoffman. You guys are immediately cup contenders with the best combination of top6/top4 in the league. Maybe Tampa rivals you but I don't even think so.
Steen-Tavares-Hoffman
Schwartz-Schenn-Tarasenko
Edmundson-Pietrangelo
Dunn-Parayko
And still have Thomas, Thompson, Kostin etc.
I think Armstrong really goes for it this summer.
Any one of the prospects besides Thomas and Husso should be available along with the WPG 1st. Armstrong is determined to shoehorn that 1st in as part of the value, it's just currency to him for the reasons you already gave. IMO The Blues best move is to trade for a top 6 guy at the draft just prior to the period they can talk to Tavares. If that guy is a goal scorer like Hoffman that could be very enticing to JT. Tarasenko, Hoffman, Schwartz, Schenn....no matter who JT ends up with as linemates he'd be in great shape for personal and team success.
I know many Blues fans will disagree with who I think should be available but seizing an opportunity right now could end up a major coup if it helps bring JT here.
