Might as well get this out of the way.
Have at it.
Tarasenko out for 5+ months.Mind fleshing this out, you know, even a bit?
Probably in relation to Tarasenko being sidelined for like half a year.Mind fleshing this out, you know, even a bit?

Tarasenko is on LTIR for 5 months, or right at the end of the regular season. Since there is no salary cap in the playoffs, the Blues could add a big rental at the TDL and reactivate Tarasenko for the playoffs. Hall is the biggest pending UFA this season who has a chance of being dealt. New Jersey, of course, won't deal him if they're still in it at the TDL.
If im NJD and the talks dont start with Kyrou/Thomas, and picks id hang up
What do you mean...no cap in the playoffs? Teams don't run a salary cap in the regular season and then add 20 million in salary to make a run.

Vince Dunn is my dream acquisition but I realize that wouldn't happen.
Devils needs are LHD that can play defense, goal scoring wingers, and picks.
I'll be curious how we'll feel about this potential trade after we see Thomas in his spot for a decent amount of games.
Now, the miracle move would be if you can convince to Jersey take take some cap to make extending Hall realistic, and then you go all in. Try to win as much as you can in a 3-4 year window and then embrace the fall of the cliff.
I agree. If that were to happen, we'd have the back up the truck mentality. The cost would be very high in that situation.Devils can certainly take (short-term) cap, but keep in mind that would also increase the asking price.
If I'm the Devils, I'd ask for Dunn and a 1st plus another prospect. The Blues would have no leverage here. Can't see this even being a reality.I agree. If that were to happen, we'd have the back up the truck mentality. The cost would be very high in that situation.
Right. They'd get a lot because we'd just decide to completely right off the seasons 4ish years from now.If I'm the Devils, I'd ask for Dunn and a 1st plus another prospect. The Blues would have no leverage here. Can't see this even being a reality.
I'm not saying the Blues would do that, I'm just saying that NJ would ask for the moon.Right. They'd get a lot because we'd just decide to completely right off the seasons 4ish years from now.
he's a rental with an expiring contract, so full value's probably off the tableIf im NJD and the talks dont start with Kyrou/Thomas, and picks id hang up
Yeah, yeah, I got you. Jersey would ask for a lot and they should, and if Army says go all in with this core, with long-term deals, making a deal like that would be hard to do, but plausible. It's a risk to move significant future value, but we are sort of in a spot where we know we could have a Kings/Hawks type fall, so might as well maximize our Cup winning potential in the years where we will be contending.I'm not saying the Blues would do that, I'm just saying that NJ would ask for the moon.
