Blues Trade Proposals - Part VII

[bleedblue1223]

I could see one of Miller, Halak, or Hiller being one of the goalies with Allen next season.

We could potentially grab Dubnyk like we didn't with Elliott. I think he is still a good goalie stuck behind that junior team in Edmonton.

I agree on Dubnyk, but I'd rather have him as a cheap back-up with upside (like Elliott was). I don't think it would be wise to go with him as the starter.

Right, he would have to be just like Elliott as a 2-way tryout type contract

A Dubnyk+Allen combo would slightly scare me next year, but I think it would be decent, especially if Allen is at the top of his game.

 

[bleedblue1223]

In my scenario, he'd be #3 and would have to prove that he can be a good NHL goalie in camp. No way in hell would I have him as a 1 or 2 option to start camp. He might get a chance somewhere else, but with the season he's having, I doubt it.

I think next year will go something close to this. I'd like to see a solid veteran that can give you some really solid starts while serving as a mentor to Allen.

The Blues can save a lot of money at the goaltending position next year while potentially not losing anything in performance and use the saved cash to invest in a center.

I think the biggest item Alklha and I disagree on is how high the blues view Allen internally in the short run.

Regardless, I think this has been exhausted. We'll see how it plays out.

 

[Daley Tarasenkshow]

I think the Blues think that Allen will be a future starter, and is their future starter. They traded away the other candidates and Binnington and Lundstrom are still years away form making an NHL impact.

Though I think Dubnyk is a good goalie and will rebound from being on an abysmal Oilers team, I just don't see the team putting most of the games on the shoulders of Allen. I just can't imagine a goalie like him, so young and inexperienced taking this team to the cup next year.

Feel like I'm being Punk'd. I think Dubnyk is literally the worst goalie in the NHL. I would literally rather roll Allen/Binnington as a combo than have that stiff anywhere near the team. Without hesitation I think he is the easiest goalie to light up. Feels like the Blues blow his awful self out every time they play.

Yeah I was hoping I wasn't alone in thinking this

I think your spot on. I think he would struggle to stop a beach ball. Not that thrilled with any goalie candidate being talked about either.

Glad I'm not the only one. Dubnyk/Allen tandem would be horrendous. The Blues play great defense, and we'd still make the playoffs, but not a chance in hell that team makes a serious run.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

This may sound slightly hypocritical based on my comments on Halak previously but if Halak is NOT the guy, go get someone who will be the guy, not another tandem.
