Eek. Better than nothing I guess.

 

[Henkka]

Hah, called that, we got the "same" player in Sundqvist and trade the other asset.

Perfect Yzerman-planning.

[lhsgolf19]

Would not be surprised in the least, if we try to re-sign him in the offseason and I bet Steve told him that

 

[golffuul]

Solid deal...we have his bottom 6 replacement and can move Vrana back to the top 6.

 

[sepster]

Wonder if we'll see Berggren before the end of the year?

 

[GMR]

How does Leddy fetch so much more?

Because Namestnikov is Russian?

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

2024 4th. Meh.

 

[Ezekial]

Better than the 5th I thought he'd get, he's been okay for us this year, but he's been traded at the deadline like 8 times by now

That spin move pass to Raymond, and big Steve telling Leddy to go to practice got the Blues sweating.

2024 4th. Meh.

Nothing changes... Got something for a guy we might re-sign in the offseason

They got for free Glendening last year, now they pay only fourth for first rounder in his prime

 

[Scottgaf1]

You are still getting an asset for a free agent who can walk at the end of the year.

he isn't going to sign a long term deal without getting his market value, and you wouldn't want to for a third or fourth liner.

Most veteran guys in these roles you want on 1 or 2 year stopgap deals

Would Namestnikov re-sign with Detroit? Maybe playing with real NHL teammates for 1 to 2 months will give him second thoughts.

 

[Bench]

Nill was obviously listening to Ozzie's pitch last game.

D and Cs always fetch more.
Namestnikov isn't really a C.

Sundvist might make it hard. Though Gagner should shove off after this season.

 

[Killerjas]

Eh its fine. Expected a bit more but it is clear that he wasn't gonna extend his contract.

 

[jaster]

Good luck to Namestnikov, really like his game despite being Russian (just being cheeky). Good luck to him and LFG in Dallas. If it weren't for Benn, that team would be easier to root for.

 

[GMR]

Sundqvist is not much of a scorer but he's right handed and can take faceoffs. That's always sought after. Good checker too. He doesn't have Namestnikov's skill with the puck unfortunately. I hope playing with Rasmussen and Zadina can bring out his offense.

 

[Ed Ned and Leddy]

Could see us moving Sundqvist this summer, maybe with salary retained, then bringing Vlad right back. But if not no worries for me, he provided solid depth then returned a nominal pick. That's basically what you ask for outta players like Vlad.

 

[Gniwder]

How does Leddy fetch so much more?

Because Namestnikov is Russian?

Leddy has a Cup ring, Vlad's playoff history is limited though he did OK with the Avs.

Plus we're talking about second pair D vs bottom 6 winger. Vlad is definitely not a center aside from PK, and he's not that good at FO.

We've seen how good Leddy can be on a Cup winning team.

 

[MabusIncarnate]

Good value for Dallas imo. I would rather have kept him over a 4th but I'm fine with the move.

 

[GMR]

We've seen how good Leddy can be on a Cup winning team.

Yeah like 10 years ago.

Besides, the Blues don't need his experience from 2013. They have many Cup winners themselves now.
