Hopefully we keep winning and the trade board can stop the quantity for Tarasenko threads.
Eventually people will realize we aren't full rebuild mode.I wouldn't hold your breath. Those trades exhibit next to no logic to begin with, so what makes you think that us trending away from selling will slow the piss poor proposals from flooding in?
Don't get me started...At this point we really just need a goalie. The only problem is. What goalies are realistically available? Bobvrosky is an option, Talbot? Quick? Schneider? Howard? Lundqvist?
I understand your reasoning with our subpar goaltending, but Allen has proven to be a reliable goalie in tandem. Allen and Binnington could be a very good tandem.At this point we really just need a goalie. The only problem is. What goalies are realistically available? Bobvrosky is an option, Talbot? Quick?

Friedman brought up Bouwmeester’s name in his 31-Thoughts article as a TDL rental. Unsurprisingly, that seems to hinge on his health.
That would be a coupe, no matter who is coming back. I know Babcock loves JBo, and Toronto may want to bring him in for a playoff run. Army and Dubas have been trade partners recently on two occasions: Soshnikov and the 1st-round swap that brought us Bokk. I could see it happening again with J-Bo
What are we looking at as a return, a 2nd?
If Gunnar is completely healthy at the deadline, then sure. We can trade Bouwmeester or Gunnar and still be good enough for the playoffs if we get there.With Boumeester's play picking back up and the Blues not looking desperate.....do we want a 2nd for him?
Yes.With Boumeester's play picking back up and the Blues not looking desperate.....do we want a 2nd for him?
Agreed. Taking the chance of drafting another Kyrou or Parayko is better than keeping Bouwmeester for a couple months. He'll be 36 next season.Yes.
We'd probably have to max retain to move him anywhere, but in doing so I think a mid to late round 2nd is probably pretty fair value.With Boumeester's play picking back up and the Blues not looking desperate.....do we want a 2nd for him?
I'd push for a 1st if the Blues are retaining 50%. Depends on the market I guessWe'd probably have to max retain to move him anywhere, but in doing so I think a mid to late round 2nd is probably pretty fair value.
We can retain to increase value, but as long as he is healthy and playing like he has for last several weeks we should be able to deal him at deadline for pick without retention (unless he has only 1 or 2 teams he wants to go to and they have cap crunch).We'd probably have to max retain to move him anywhere, but in doing so I think a mid to late round 2nd is probably pretty fair value.
