Value of: St Louis Blues roster

[Moose and Squirrel]

How much is even available. They were a top team before this weird covid half season where everyone got hurt.

honestly, I would think not much. IMO Army will wait till next season when everyone is healthy to assess where this team is at. you MIGHT see a Hoffman or Blais traded, but I doubt you see a Schwartz going anywhere

most of this is the 'sky is falling' crowd

Realistically I feel we stand pat. Any moves we make will be Army finding a mid/long term deal in these discount times and using that to upgrade.

Check back on Saturday, the answer might be different from today.

On second thought, I don't think we even need to wait for the 3rd period of tonight's game for an answer.

Dunn and Blais would be a good add for the Habs playoff but we need to dump salary

You can have both for a first next year and whatever you need to make cap work.

Ignore the ludicrous ideas some have as to their value. I've seen a few reasonable ideas that are probably workable.

 

[Colt55]

1 year dump Dunn blais for 2021 first. Only enough to cover trade. No multi year dump.

 

[Blueston]

Blues definitely looking like sellers at this point.

 

[KirkOut]

Dunn would cost a 2nd + something small. Blais is basically free

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

If the blues do become sellers I could see the following for sale

Hoffman
Schwartz
Dunn
Sanford
Blais
Bozak
Maybe barbashev

I'm intrigued by Hoffman, Schwartz and a Bozak return, because unlike the VAST majority of his previous stint Bozak would actually be properly cast behind Matthews and Tavares

What are you willing to offer for them? We can retain 50% on all three and maybe even bring in a capdump if it's only for this season to help with potential capissues.


Schwartz @50% 2.675.000
Bozak @50%= 2.500.000
Hoffman@50% 2.000.000

How bad is Parayko’s back?
Parayko to Winnipeg.... what’s the cost?

 

[Adam da bomb]

Parayko to Winnipeg.... what’s the cost

Perfetti, Copp, Heinola and a 1sr 22.

 

[PAZ]

Blues aren't blowing it up. Bozak and Hoffman will most likely go to the highest bidder. My guess is DA won't get good enough offers on Schwartz to end up moving him, as it'll just take a hot streak to get them back into the playoff picture (although that schedule does look brutal).

1st + Samberg + ????

Good question. Rumor is it's a herniated disc. People are being pretty tight-lipped about the specifics. As I noted elsewhere, let me know what you want for a 6' 6" defenseman who could be among the better defensemen in the league but whose back might be an issue.

Blues aren't blowing it up. Bozak and Hoffman will most likely go to the highest bidder. My guess is DA won't get good enough offers on Schwartz to end up moving him, as it'll just take a hot streak to get them back into the playoff picture (although that schedule does look brutal).

You should watch last night's game and ask yourself if that looks like a team that could reel off a hot streak with its remaining schedule to get back into the playoff picture.

I was genuinely confused why you were offering six players in a deal until I realized what the links were for.

Lol... not everyone knows all players so I thought I’d be helpful

After Vegas, the Blues have easily been the 2nd best team the Avs have faced this season. Arizona doesn't have the easiest schedule either, so I wouldn't be shocked if the Blues squeaked in. I'll have no qualms if you guys decide to blow it up and end up missing the postseason though, as I much prefer an Arizona 1st round matchup (assuming the Avs end up 1st in the conference).

Some people just need to step away from the ledge a bit. Sometimes teams have an unlucky year with injuries and puck luck. It happens. Dump your UFAs and passengers for what you can get and prepare for next season. No need to completely gut the team and wander around the desert of lottery picks for the next 5 years.

4. Arizona 43pts, 17 games remaining
5. San Jose 38pts, 19 games remaining
6. St. Louis 38pts, 18 games remaining (14/18 against COL, VGK, MIN)

This week:
- Arizona: LAK, VGK
- San Jose: ANA, LAK, LAK
- St. Louis: VGK, MIN, MIN

NHL Stanley Cup playoff chances and projected standings has each of their playoff odds at:
- Arizona: 60%
- San Jose: 20%
- St. Louis: 16%
(& LAK with the remainder)

Are they really going to hang onto Jaden Schwartz, risking losing him for nothing?

 

[Chojin]

Blues aren't blowing it up, but their UFA's (Schwartz, Hoffman, Bozak if anyone wants him) are fair game. Aside from some bottom 6 forwards, and maybe Dunn (but only if there's bad blood from contract talks), I don't see anyone else getting moved.
