Maybe to the Lonestar state?

So what is his realistic impact. Not the HF trade forum sell job, but no BS what would a team getting him be expecting?

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Damn, a team struggling might trade a pending UFA at the deadline. What f***ing insight

 

[Mckay]

May the Schwartz be with you. (Thanks Mirtle!)

 

[LeafGrief]

I think the Leafs would be very interested in Schwartz.

Guy who's been on a Cup run and been a key contributor to it. Defensively responsible, offensively more than capable. Can be streaky. Knows how to utilize his teammates. Not afraid to go into the corners, but not the guy you're going to park in front of the net. Even if you've got depth and you say well, he'd just be on our 3rd line that's the kind of depth you want for the postseason. Even in a buyer's market, teams will trade pieces to get a lot less hoping they get more out of their acquisition. If he's really available, IMO he's probably the biggest prize out there.

Chance I think he gets moved: 15%.

Dubas should be all over this. 1st + Abruzzese.

Wow, it'd be weird to see the Blues as sellers

Plug Schartz into the right line and you're looking at elite line minutes. Defensively strong, tough, durable, and able to put up points with the best of them. Playoff warrior with Stanley Cup Pedigree who actually contributed heavily to the Cup win. Got the tools and his head in the right place. I've said it before and I'll say it again, if your team has forward needs, he can be that missing piece.

If the Blues move him it's for a necessity. The team needs BIG, strong, defensive-minded players who can slot in with the likes of Krug and Faulk so they can play their game better. The team can also use a sparkplug sort of player who can ignite a line of talent and convert the effort into points.

He'd look really good with Nylander and Tavares

 

[PuckG]

Would love him on the Oilers...just don’t know if it could work with cap and what the Blues would want.

 

[Llamamoto]

I really like the idea of Schwartz next to McDavid.

Schwartz - McDavid - Puljujarvi
Nuge - Draisaitl - Yamamoto

What kind of return could he get?

If they do, they're taking a step down to take two steps up. Lost too much when Pie, JayBo, Ed and Steen left. We're missing some of those skillsets and experience now. Injuries have made the problem look much worse, especially with Tarasenko's THIRD surgery and he's struggling to get back to form. Parayko is fresh off injury and he's also struggling a bit. Lots of heart but the bodies are taking more time to heal, if they fully do...

Blues may move Schwartz??

To a different hospital bed??

Guys always hurt.

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

I'd love him on the Leafs. Would make that top 6 filthy. Good playoff performer as well. Schwartz over Hall easily. Plz get this done Dubas.

Schwartz - McDavid - Puljujarvi
Nuge - Draisaitl - Yamamoto

Not gonna hate, that looks plenty good.

 

[Tvillewr419]

Complete character guy, I don’t want to see him go unless there is a high probability this is just a handshake deal to bring him back in the off season. Return wud need to be good as this team is finally healthy and cud easily still make playoffs.

been a down year for JS, but I’ll give him a pass, it’s been a bad year with his father passing away unexpectedly right before camp, as someone who went thru that last year, no way it hasn’t impacted him

I hear a top prospect might be involved

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

2nd plus good prospect ( like just below blue chip) ?

 

[Ctrain2k]

I really like the idea of Schwartz next to McDavid.

Schwartz - McDavid - Puljujarvi
Nuge - Draisaitl - Yamamoto

What kind of return could he get?

He’s the #1 winger target I’ve wanted for McDavid for a few years now.

 

[Colt55]

2nd plus good prospect ( like just below blue chip) ?

Yeah a second lol

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

I'd take a Schwartz… smoked meat sandwich that is!

Drouin or Schwartz straight up!

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Jaden Schwartz is the best winger for a playoff team available right now imo, at least of the names that have been out there. Guy who can easily slot in either of the top 6 lines and most importantly, has scored a ton of big goals in the playoffs. His impact can resemble that of TJ Oshie. Not a star but one of those guys you love to have. Won the cup. Perfect fit for teams like the Leafs and Oilers.

Has had a tough season though, as far as i understand.
