Seravalli: Tarasenko still wants to be traded, Blues gauging market on Krug

[Djp]

Krug is bold, but other Blues fans have been speculating that for a bit, something I've shot down. The logical reason why is Krug and Perunovich not fitting into the same lineup, and I've just assumed Perunovich would be the one to go, but Krug would open up cap for Perron and LD that's a better fit.

who out there wants him given that contract. You aren’t going to unload him and open up all his space.

His contract is fine, we just have the same player in Perunovich. He'd probably get the remaining amount if he was a free agent.

This. Assuming Letang resigns in Pitt as has been rumored, Klingberg is only skilled FA defenseman who you would likely rank ahead of Krug. And Kling's ask is way higher than Krug's contract.

Small 31 yr old LD with 5 yrs at $5.5M per is a major negative in trade value if you aren’t taking salary back.

Krug has a full ntc. No way he's being shopped unless he's the one wanting to be moved.

Not necessarily. They can explore the market and then approach him if they find a deal they’re interested in.

He may not be worth a ton, but this is a laughable assertion. There are teams out there who could use his skill set. They almost certainly wouldn’t pay a first, but I see no reason why he couldn’t return some picks and or prospects.

I would love Krug back on Boston depending on what it would take

 

[Reddwit]

I dunno about Krug to Detroit. Yzerman isn’t a fan of small defenseman.

Tank should be easy to move, if STL doesn't get too greedy. Mid/late 1st and a 2nd/decent prospect? One more year @7.5M cap hit(5.5M actual cash). Will turn 31yo later this year. STL might decide to simply trade him at the TDL, though i can see them wanting to a draft pick now rather than waiting till 2023.

I could see Tarasenko going to whichever team misses out on Johnny Hockey between Philly and NJ

Who would't want a small defenseman? Who consistently puts up between 40 to 60 points per season.

There were rumors last TDL that the Blues were eyeing some of the Flyers LHD. I could see something potentially there.

I wouldn’t trade Sanheim and I don’t think Provo is available for a winger that close to FA. But who knows what Chuckles thinks.

 

[SnS]

Something based around Tarasenko for one of Provorov/Sanheim would be ideal.

Makes too much sense, For both Philly and St Louis.
