Proposal: Blues-Panthers

[BB06]

Weegar




Dunn


I think Dunn and Ekblad would an awesome pairing and the Blues need Weegar as Dunn is kinda redundant with Krug/Faulk


Thoughts?

This isn’t a bad offer although I’m concerned that Dunn has such low time on ice. On the flip side he is younger and probably cheaper

I think playing with Ekblad would unlock Dunn’s full potential. Ekblad has shown he can carry the load defensively. I think Dunn can basically be Krug 2.0 and would be a great match for Ekblad who I view as AP 2.0

I don’t disagree but there’s still this risk over Dunn taking the step. The trade premise makes sense if Weegar wants out though

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

I'd wait until Weegar's next contract is finalized to make a deal for Dunn.
Don't know if Dunn has top pair potential. Seems more of a 2nd line guy who needs to be sheltered a lot

I don't think it makes sense for the Blues to trade Dunn for a dman. IF Dunn is moved, I think a similar forward or pick(s)/prospect(s) would be more likely.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Blues need another right shot dman?

Dont take this the wrong way. But to be honest with you I think that I’d a guy carrying the load defensively would truly unlock Dunn the Blues have had two top tier options in Pietro and Parayko to experiment. I don’t exactly know what it is that the staff sees but they keep having him in that 3rd pair role I’d imagine for a reason but I really couldn’t tell you what that reason is

Counteroffer, Dunn for Panthers 2021 1st. Top 10 protected .

Not really. We have Parayko, Faulk, and Bortuzzo on the RD, with Santini and Reinke as call-ups. Is Weegar a 3rd pairing defenseman?

 

[The Note]

Not a bad basis of a deal but just personally I’d rather trade Dunn for a similarly aged winger or a pure futures package.

Weegar plays LD, even though he has a right shot.

Weegar for 2021 1st or Jake Neighbours

 

[simon IC]

Then there is even less organizational need. No thanks.

 

[simon IC]

Weegar for 2021 1st or Jake Neighbours

Nope.

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

Nope.

Then nope

 

[simon IC]

The bottom line is, the Blues do not need a defenseman unless it is a solid prospect with size who is at least two years away.

You don't shelter a Top 4 defender. If they need sheltering they are a bottom-pair player.

 

[bleedblue1223]

Doesn't make a ton of sense from our side. We have the depth to move Dunn and not replace him.

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

Weegar plays LD, even though he has a right shot.

That's very interesting. Has he always played the left side, or is it out of necessity?

 

[Fogelhund]

That's very interesting. Has he always played the left side, or is it out of necessity?

No, he's played Right Side as well, but he seems to be one of those guys, who can excel on either side.

 

[RogerRoger]

The Panthers are already stuck with one #3LD they have to deploy in the OZ, they don't need a second one. I don't get why the Panthers would downgrade their defense so bad by swapping Weegar for Dunn, might as well trade him for a center.

 

[tony d]

I think if this deal were to be made then Florida would win the deal.

Owen Tippett for Vince Dunn - Blues aren't in a need for any defense Perunovich, Scott, Mikkola, Niko, Reinke, Mitch, Santini, Steven
