Value wise... a good trade.
Needs... idk?
Sergachev doesn’t do anything that Petro didn’t do and Johnson would slot in nicely as their 2C.
Petro makes TBLs already ridiculous D into an even scarier D.
Idk... I don’t follow both teams that closely,
But from an outside perspective this looks the be a good deal.
Blues don't really have the ability to move Edmundson without crippling the left defense. So it'd take a large overpayment that Tampa clearly wouldn't offerWhat would St Louis fans want for Edmundson?
I will refer back to my original post:Let’s see, which would a team about to enter a cap crunch prefer: the cost-controlled young player still on his ELC with several years of team control remaining, or the $6.5M player who is eight years older and will be a UFA in two years? Not to mention throwing in a very good top six center/winger on a reasonably priced longterm deal who is currently our third leading (second at even strength) goal scorer. This is a horrible deal for Tampa.

Horrible? That’s just the HF way right? Value wise it’s good. Top pairing RHD command A LOT. Think McDonagh cost a lot? Petro will cost TBL a lot more.
Hasn't come close he has been in the top 5 and top 3 before. [mod]Two years of Petro doesn’t return Foote, much less Serg and Johnson. We’re talking a future 1D still on his ELC with several years of team control and a damn good top six center/winger on a good longterm deal for two years of an expensive defenseman who hasn’t come close to a Norris? GTFO with that nonsense. We didn’t give up Foote for Karlsson, we damn sure aren’t giving up Serg and Johnson for Petro.
What would St Louis fans want for Edmundson?
Completely understandable. I see the same on our end. I just really like his game.I'm just not sure if we could realistically ask for anything that would tempt us to move him. Nor do I really even know what this team needs anymore. I'd say the most enticing piece that Tampa has would be Sergachev but I see no real workable deal around Edmundson and Sergachev that would work for both parties
I'd do itTo STL T. Johnson M. Sergachev
To TBL A. Pietranglo
Sergachev is not defensively suspect. Otherwise fair points. Don’t see either team doing this deal, Tampa mostly for cap reasons and St. Louis because pietrangelo is not a guy they should be trading right now.Hell no to the O.P. from the Blues. We need to stop the bleeding on defense. An undersized forward and a defensively suspect D prospect for one of the best two-way D in the game doesn't help us much.

I’d at least consider it. But based on AP’s decline the last couple years I’d probably not do it.It’s not just the cap but also the fact that Pietrangelo only has two years left on his deal and as such simply does not have anywhere near that sort of value. Tampa wouldn’t make that trade no matter how much cap space they had.
