Rumor: Rumors and Proposals Thread: Blues Open for Business? Parayko Anyone?

[Raab]

Thinking of Chicago, maybe there’s a deal there for Keith.

To Edm: Keith, Saad
To Chi: Lucic, Kassian, Puljujarvi, Nurse, Bear, 2nd

 

[Oilers in NS]

Don't go to other teams boards and make proposals that's poor form.

Especially don't do that trying to get one of said team's darlings.

We are actually having a good convo. He is informing me of the problems in St Louis this year and what ownership is doing going forward. He thinks Pietrangelo might be available

And getting back to your "poor form". Its poor form when you go in and insult and heckle. Im curious on whats going on there. Lots of empty seats their at last game in St Louis. We are discussing that, not poor form bs

That's a lot of value going to Chicago for a 35 year old dman and a player on a bad contract

I like Keith but he is 35 and still quite a few years on his contract. Saad deal for Panarin has been terrible. They said they did it because Toews hasn't been the same since they traded him the first time

Don’t miss the two bad contracts going out on our end. And Keith can still play not concerned about his age given how he works out and takes care of himself.

 

[belair]

And then our genius gm bought him out.

And now he's not even playing professional hockey. He would've still been under contract for $4m this year.

I don't think that's close even if you take out the two cap dumps on the Oilers end.

Bruh, Darling sucks.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Bruh, Darling sucks.

He does, but as a back up and a possible part of deal to get rid of Lucic, TOTALLY worth it

 

[Canada Drai]

Disagree. He's THAT bad.

 

[joestevens29]

Disagree. He's THAT bad.

At least you can send Darling to the minors and he only costs you 3mil. Lucic is costing 6mil

 

[Canovin]

Any interest in Conacher for McDavid's winger? He can fire the puck

 

[JonathanK]

Would Shumakov be a possibility? Not sure if he would be open to another NHL team, but we do not have the scoring depth impeding his opportunity that Washington did.

Keith is done. He’s taken a big step back this year.

This is a bad trade, we’re not that desperate to clear space.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Disagree. He's THAT bad.

If he's that bad, you can buy him out for significantly less then Lucic. Again, if it takes Darling move Lucic, You do it all day everyday all.

Shumakov would find a place on McDavid's wing

 

[hallhopkinseberle]

Tbh the only way I see us getting rid of Lucic is by trading for Ryan.

Prior to July 1st Ryan for a 2nd round pick.

After July 1st 2nd round pick for Milan Lucic.

I see Ottawa potentially going for something like this.

 

[nabob]

Right shot D like Pesce on mid level deals with long term are worth far more than a massive project in PJ and a PTO riding a heater. D men are valuable as hell, you need depth on D and Carolina isn't going to give it up. Hell if they couldn't get Nylander with one of their D there is no chance we get one with PJ and Chaisson. Facts remain we have precious few trade chips to play to teams wanting offense because we have no offence to trade.

I feel it was more like Toronto couldn’t get one of their D with Nylander than the other way around.

 

[Canovin]

I actually see the Leafs going into the playoffs with their high octane offense. If they fail, they're going to take shot at signing Pietrangelo after next year when the salary cap increases to 85+ or so

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

I feel it was more like Toronto couldn’t get one of their D with Nylander than the other way around.

I don’t think Toronto was ever serious about trading him to begin with unless it was a killer deal. They needed to set the tone with their upcoming RFA group.

Either way PJ is at this point a project and not a prospect. He is not going to return much of anything meaning we are stuck trying to develop him. Chaisson is a PTO riding a hot streak that appears to be cooling off. That package gets you a legit 3rd pair D and not a D who is playing 3rd pair because of the great depth they have ahead of him. Like Winnipeg with Trouba a couple years ago the forum trade proposals (like most on fan forums mine included) are pretty much laughable.

Ryan with 1.25 retained for Lucic actually makes a lot of sense for both teams. We don’t gain cap, but get the more offensive player. They save millions of dollars for their cheap owner, and get a gritty leader to help the young guys

If they retain on Ryan that would be great but if they don't I think its still a good deal.

 

[t0nedeff]

I would try to get Pesce from CAR.
Faulk and Hamilton are playing better than him right now making him a 3rd pairing Dman with limited offense.
Puljujarvi+Chaisson might get it done since like us they need scoring wingers.

Pulju with Aho connection

Can we stop trying to bring in defenseman who have zero offence to their game.

I know you hate Nurse but this is still next level craziness. Keith and Saad are both done and their contracts are absolute trash. What is the rational here? Why do we want to pay Keith until he's 40?

Them retaining kills any value in making that deal for them.

They trade a useful player for a useless one and now you're taking away 3.75 million in incentives.

No reason to try to sell the grit and leadership stuff either. He hasn't brought that here or at least it hasn't helped, no reason to believe he'd make that difference there.

If they would consider it it'd have to be purely about money and that's why they have no reason to retain.
