Blues Trade Proposals 2019-20 - Part III

[Davimir Tarablad]

Don't like that price whatsoever

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Hopefully Scandella just lost his love for the game in Buffalo and RoR can help him relove the game again. Gotta expect him to Pair in Next to Colt or Pie right?

 

[MortiestOfMortys]

Scandella makes a lot of sense, and he was always tough to play against in Minny. Good player, high price, but we did what we thought we had to.

 

[Dbrownss]

Why is it Montreal is able to take throw away players and get value out of them. A 2nd+4th....... jebus

 

[BlueKnight]

I like Scandella. My friend suggested to me that the Blues should get him. Blues overpaid Imo.

 

[Oberyn]

Would've much preferred Dillon. Don't like paying a 2nd for Scandella.

Cap Space
They retained 50% of his salary; Buffalo didn't.

 

[bleedblue1223]

So would people have preferred Dillon?

 

[Vladys Gumption]

I would have preferred Dillion, but I don’t hate Scandella.

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

So would people have preferred Dillon?

At the prices each went for, absolutely

 

[Blueston]

Depends on what version of Scandella we get.

2020 version.

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

I assume Montreal held some salary? Early deal to free Armstrong for something else before the deadline?

 

[bleedblue1223]

2020 version.

He was better in Buffalo than in Montreal, and players can struggle with adapting to new teams, so we could get someone completely different from what we are expecting. Could be better, could be worse.

They retained 50%, so we still have some wiggle room.

Given what Dillion just went for, doesn't make sense from our end.


I too like Scandella 5yrs ago......dunno about this one.

 

[BlueDream]

Are Scandella and Dillon really THAT different? Feel like it’s closer than people think. Dillon is solid, he’s not a star or anything.

Both are big guys that play physical, kill penalties, and can move the puck decently enough to put up 20 or so points. Same age too.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

Scandella for a 2nd is better than Dillon for a 2nd and 3rd

And if the conditions are met to make it a 2nd and a 4th, nobody is gonna complain

 

[WeWentBlues]

What forward, if any, do we like? Montreal didn't need to retain for us to fit Scandella so I think Armstrong has another card to play.

Kreider or Hoffman depending on return.

I've read Scandella is pretty soft now.

 

[Zizzle]

How does he fit is he better than gunner and bortuzzo?

[cardinalnation]

You mean BorGuntuzzo? Remember Blues have played a ton of hockey and they are about to play a lot more. Bow ate a lot of minutes and that was with both Gunner and Bortz on the team. Gunner has been hurt (again) and RB is really a #7 Defensman. Mikola would need to be protected next year if he goes over 10 games in the NHL I believe. They obviously don't have anyone else they could rely on for a playoff run. Perunovich could be called upon when the College season ends but I am sure they are not going into the playoffs with him on the team. They HAD to add a Defenseman.

 

[LetsGoBooze]

I like it, plus Scandella might end up being an optional long-term fit. His ask on price AND term should be less than Dillon's and we might be able to make that work even with our limited cap(Pie's contract) over the next few years.

 

[MortiestOfMortys]

Faulk for Tyler Johnson, who says no? TBL has bad RD depth, we’ve got too much. TyJo has worn out his welcome there, but could add some firepower to our forward corps moving forward. TBL has the cap space to absorb the extra cap hit. Faulk would have to agree to go.
