What if he only waives his ntc for the leafs. Would you take a 1st, zaitaev and a prospect for him or keep him and take your chances on resigning him?

No, rather resign him. Zaitsev is a 4 year cap dump. Explain how that works for the blues.

As much as Kypreos is a dolt he has a hell of a lot more clout than you do. So aslong as he puts it out there people will want to discuss it, disagreeing dont grant you the power to end threads my man.
You should consider taking a break from these threads, they only seem to piss you off.
Let’s not get crazy here. I don’t mind over paying to get a great player but I guess there just isn’t a deal to be made then.
Take your head out of the clouds. Ones a prospect with great potential and the other is a #1 RHD.
To be fair though, a deal centered around Marner is a heckuva lot closer in value than one centered around Zaitsev.
Maybee your fan base should start makingvrealistic offers. You sit here and want one of the best players on the blues but your top players are off limits. Good luck with that.
Also I get it, since nylander is now s signed it's time to hound other fan bases for their best players for a bunch of lesser pieces. Please continue to do so. Kypreos is an idiot. Almost as bad as round and Friedman. Let's throw sheet on a wall and see what sticks. I guarantee if he said marner for petro your entire fan base would be up in arms about it.
Why is marner over payment. Or is it you just don't want to give to get easier to give up a lot of lesser to get your stud. Honestly you guys are better off waiting for liljgren.

I've explained previously why the Blues/Petro don't fit the other trades of EK and McDonagh in circumstance, it's up to you if you want to ignore important contextual factors.
Also just read from eklund that marner may be in play with the potential Mathews offersheeting and potential Mathews salary requirements. This would cause the leafs to not be able to resign marner cpikd be odd man out. So let's talk about petro - marner as a basis. Maybe with that blues could take on zaits contract to help out?
For petro. No it's fair value. But hey per eklund marner could be available. Petro marner start their

You may want to have a look at the Blues core group and their age range. You'll find the older players are primarily support guys at this point that will all eventually get cycled out. LD Bouwmeester, LD Gunnarsson, RD Bortuzzo, LW Maroon are all expiring contracts so quite a bit of money freed up on defense after this year. So the Blues can give Edmundson a decent raise and pursue another LD in either free agency, trade or Mikkola called up to be a 3rd pair guy.
Steen, Perron and Bozak are a different story of course as all have term. These contracts will obviously be tougher to move and I'm sure the Blues will be stuck with them at least this season and possibly multiple seasons. Really depends on the market and I'm sure Steen at least might be an attractive option to some team as his deal starts to wind down. Perron produces well for what he makes so with 3 more years after this season at 4 mil AAV it's not a terrible deal. Bozak will have 2 years @ 5mil AAV remaining after this year and centers tend to be in demand. So if these are the guys you're referencing then sure it's an issue.
However, you also have ROR, Tarasenko, Schwartz, Schenn, Fabbri, Thomas, Kyrou up front. You have Petro, Parayko, Edmundson and Dunn on defense. That's not an old core and one you'd be better off tweaking than blowing up.
Selling off Petro would signal a rebuild that isn't happening under this ownership group and it's stated goal of becoming a Cup contender. It would also require the Blues to sell off several other prime assets which also isn't happening.
Pietrangelo is a rental for a year and a half. The leafs could keep Sandin for 10 years and Kapanen for another 6 years.
Just like kypreos. But hey it was suggested let's talk about it. Turn about is fair play right

Kapanen is getting absolutely shit on in a porta potty in this thread. Do people know who he is or is just another "I've never seen him play but if he's Leafs property, he's probably over-hyped, pass."
So, then there needs to be more coming from Toronto. If you want to St. Louis to bail you out on a terrible contract and take Zaitsev as a cap dump, you need to compensate them for that. Plus it would need to be significant compensation as the are stuck with Zaitsev for what, 5 more years.
None of the offers I've seen here compensate the Blues for taking Zaitsev and then also add sufficient value to acquire AP.
