Friedman: J Schmaltz possibly available

[Rasmus CacOlainen]

More of a logic rather than insidership here but what he says makes sense:

13. The right side of the St. Louis defence is loaded, which could mean a new home for AHL all-star Jordan Schmaltz. Taken 25th in the 2012 draft, the 24-year-old is all but blocked from a significant role with the Blues. Don’t take this as they dislike him, but I do think he could be an interesting piece in a deadline deal.

Sabres are one of the teams looking for players like him, what would be the ask in terms of more secondary pieces as I doubt Botts trades ROR/Eichel/Reinhart/Mittelstadt for him?

kane for schmaltz and a 2nd

Not exactly shocking news here.

 

[D3vilsH0ck3y]

I’m interested as a devils fan, wonder what the cost would be

 

[belair]

I can't see his value being overly high on the trade market considering his waiver eligibility next season. I've always liked him as a prospect though. Common sense says Stan Bowman makes a call.

Would Kane for Schmaltz+2nd be feasible? Kane has gone into a bit of a slump recently but it surely also is caused by his status on the team. Or would you look for other type of piece?

Is St. Louis interested in Maroon? I think the Oilers could be interested in Schmaltz if Maroon is a target for the Blues. We only have 2 NHL RD at the moment so it could be a fit.

I don't think we'd be interested in rentals, but I'd be fine paying that.

Not in the least. He is to slow for what we are moving towards playing style wise

I don't think we'd be interested in rentals, but I'd be fine paying that.

I'd probably add something like Justin Bailey if we absolutely have to add non-rental piece. He's also non-waiver exempt next season and we will be struggling to promote 3 RWs at the same time.

I would love for the Hawks to look into this but I am not sure the Blues would trade with the Hawks or they have what the Blues need. What do the Blues need?

Nothing the Blackhawks would even remotely consider offering, just because of pure pettiness.

That is fine. BUT what are the Blues' needs?

NHL scoring winger, ideally RW.

Eh....not all that interested in Kane, but something could he worked out. JS isnt going to cost alot to get.

No...but same applies as above.

Want Vanek or Gagner?

Schmaltz+2nd (2018)+3rd (2019)
for
Kane + Justin Bailey (RW power forward prospect - middle 6 upside)

Happy to shake on that personally.

 

[Alklha]

Bailey does nothing for he Blues since we have Thompson, Kyrou and Kostin as RW prospects.

I’m sure Schmaltz is available, but I doubt we’re looking to trade him. Dunn is an NHL player, and I can’t imagine we’ll be keeping Gunnarsson’s $2.9m cap hit in the press box next season. So there is likely to be a roster spot next season.

Pacioretty for 1st, schmaltz and fabbri?

jvr for schmaltz

 

[PiggySmalls]

With Schmaltz as the main piece going to buffalo, what would it take to get Reinhart as a return?

 

[Alklha]

Pacioretty for 1st, schmaltz and fabbri?

Nope.

jvr for schmaltz

Armstrong would do that, Toronto wouldn’t.

There is no way we give up Reinhart for Schmaltz as the main piece.

 

[Chojin]

Honestly, I'd rather have Schmaltz on the third pairing than Bortuzzo.
