Blues Trade Proposals 2018-2019 - Part II

[Majorityof1]

Some team desperate for defense would give up a pick for him. Hell, Jerabek got a 6th.

Jerabek doesn't have a $5M contract with a no trade clause to limit the available teams.

True story

If I was Army, I’d retain the max just to prevent JBow’s buddy Van Ryn from playing him.

 

[ScratchCatFever]

Now what?
At this point I would listen to offers for anyone.

 

[CaliforniaBlues310]

Well, we’ve got to find a way to trade one of JBo or Gunnarsson, and I’d like to see if we could upgrade on Jake(not that I dislike him).

 

[Reality Czech]

Everyone is focusing on who we should trade away, but what tough, nasty D-man could we realistically trade for? We need some grit back there, no doubt. Someone like McQuaid, perhaps, who the Rangers didn't pay much to acquire in the offseason?

We've grit at AHL just call up.

That's Bortozzo.

 

[Reality Czech]

That's Bortozzo.

Eh, I'm aiming a bit higher. Sure, Borts is tough but I don't think he can really affect a game that much. I'm thinking someone more like Gudas, who can go off at any time. Not him specifically, but that type of tough guy. We all know Reaves was so great for this team's morale because how can you not get fired up playing alongside that guy? We need someone to provide a similar spark.

As for the AHL Ranksu, I'm looking forward to seeing Mikkola on the big club but I don't know if it's wise to throw him into this mess right now! And rookies don't generally bring the kind of impact I think we need.

 

[Note fan in Big D]

What would Brady ($3.425 Mil AAV) and Matthew Tkachuk ($925,000 AAV) cost the Blues?

Do you just wait until free agency down the road?

If Tarasenko ($8 Mil AAV) is included in one of those deals, would that also help get a d-man in return from Ottawa/Calgary?

I agree. Mikkola needs to fill out at least 10 lbs. to his frame before having a legitimate shot as an every night defender. At camp he was listed at 185 while standing 6'4. He may get tossed around like a rag doll out there.

People need to stop posting about Trading Vladdy..... Not only would it be stupid, you would also be trading a player when his value is the lowest its ever been, That is how GMs get fired.

 

[bleedblue1223]

Part of me honestly wonders if we do talk to Toronto about Nylander, in the form of a big shakeup move.

Toronto is tied for 1st in the East, what do they need to shake-up? If they need anything its a RHD. How are we better swapping Parayko or Pietrangelo for Nylander? What type of shake-up deal are you thinking? Coaching and goal-tending are our problems. Maybe defense. Not sure how Nylander addresses any of that.

It was just me thinking out loud. Army isn't that big on shakeup deals, and the Nylander situation would have to devolve first, so I don't see it happening. If we don't seriously recover by game 15/20, then I'll be curious to see what Army does. At some point, there has to be a move of player personnel. Either there is an issue, or we just flat out aren't good enough. While some of these issues are new, playing a incomplete game and losing leads have plagued this club for years.

One could also say his value is the highest it will be. Lol. Yeo also gets GMs fired.

 

[Evocable Manager]

What would they accept that we'd give up? And how would we afford his 8.5M in contract demands.

Where are you getting $8.5mm? From what I've seen his ask is closer to $7mm.

I've heard "Draisaitl money" on the Toronto outlets.

I certainly hope not! Offense is not the problem, defense is. Nylander is a soft winger. We have enough of those.

 

[BleedBlue14]

The absolute last thing we need to consider doing right now is trading defense for offense.

What's the going rate for a coach nowadays? Can we put Yeo on the block?

 

[Flyers Faithful]

Would St Louis fans be interested in a swap of Lehtera and Eliott for JayBo and Allen? Small picks added either way to balance it out

This isn’t gonna go well

 

[hullderko]

Petrangelo for Byufglien

It's a tempting offer, as I'm trying to decide who I could stomach watching more between Bouwmeester and Lehtera. Ideally both would be scratched, but Yeo is gonna Yeo and have either one of them in the lineup.

At least you feel our pain.
