We are definitely not getting a Knies or Pickering + a second back for Barbashev. (I don't know enough about Harley). Don't give yourself that type of expectation for a Barbie trade. You are going to severely let yourself down.
That comment tight there shows your lack of knowledge of him. Every person who watches him will agree.
I’ve been saying for weeks he couid get first when everyone else was hoping for 2nd. If we are gonna settle for less than 1st needs to be legit prospect. Maybe minten if not Knies, but not taking some 5’10” 165lb defenseman that has no chance of ever playing in nhl.
I swear we look at how tall someone is and write them off way too quick as blues fans. But, you know, big muscled men are the only way someone can play hockey. Don't tell that to Makar, Morrissey, or Fox tho.
i would take Fox. (Or makar or Morrisey) but with Krug, Rosen, Peru, and even Leddy isnt large, we aren’t lacking in small d. so for me to want another one he has to project as really good.
I’m not expecting that. Which is why I say no tiny d. And I don’t just mean short. If they are stocky and strong like Faulk is ok, but it’s slight ones that need to be exceptional or I don’t want them. we get Knies or minten or some other future 3rd liner that’s great asset management. But if not, give me the 1st.
Sorry but barbashev is a Swiss army knife can do it all. To say he is worthless shows how little you or the other guy knows.
I love this time of year. Fan bases getting annoyed cause other fan bases do not see players the same way they do
It's one thing to say he isn't worth a 1st it's another to call him worthless. If he was worthless other teams wouldn't be interested in him. Facts
This. Put your expectation at most likely a teams 3rd-6th best prospect + a 2nd. Barbie doesnt get those prospects orginally listed straight-up 1for1.
You never know blues could take salary back to help them maybe get another player as well. Army is shifty. You never know what to expect
Its always a possibility to retain or take back a contract… maybe you get another pick or something. I was more reacting to those expecting a 1st or 2nd and REALLY good prospect. I don't see that happening. There’s too much on the market and i don’t see a team viewing Barbashev as the missing link that gets them a cup. Different contract status i could see that happening, but not as it stands. He’s not bringing back what Tarasenko got, nor should he. He will certainly bring back value though.
I would be interested in Jack Finley from the lightning and 2nd in 2024. Or your 7th round pick in 2022 Dyllan Gill instead of the pick
