As a blues fan, I like the value. However, there is a $2 million difference between the two going into next season which is pretty significant when we still haven't even locked up Pietro. So I think if you could find a way to take back some salary it could work. Only two players that come to mind that could be a cap dump is Steen or Allen so I'd build from there. On an unrelated note, I know theres absolutely no way stl would ever get keller, but I would love to see him come and play for his home team. Maybe the blues do the schenn trade, then use the extra salary to sign Pietro and do a sign and trade that leads into a 3 way blockbuster that includes Pietro joing the leafs, Matthew's joining the yotes, and keller joining the blues? Oh man that would be a dream come true

As i just mentioned in the other thread, Blues JUST resigned Schenn for 8-years. Trading him immediately wouldn't sit well with potential free-agents, or convincing guys (say Pietrangelo) to take a 'home-town' discount. Good basis for a trade, just very, very unlikely.

And the Coyotes just signed OEL. It happens. Look at Carter and Richards as examples.

Part of the reason you like the value is because I factored the cap difference into the proposal.

I guess if we have to talk about evening up the cap hit, you could add Steen and we could add Grabner? But I guess I’d prefer to leave it 1:1 and let you guys figure out a subsequent trade elsewhere.

I’d be open to taking about Keller. But that’s probably a deal that doesn’t also include OEL. Unless, like you said, Matthews was headed our way. Haha.

Yeah if the Blues trade for Oliver Ekman-Larsson, They can kiss Alex Pietrangelo goodbye. And i think Armstrong would rather hold on to Pietrangelo.

Why? What sense does that make?

 

[Dr Robot]

If petro walks I think this works. I think the value leans blues though unless oel has trended down faster than i thought. I'm expecting Schenn to fall off a cliff at 32 like power forwards in every sport seem to do.

I can’t create threads yet so I’m hijacking

What do the Rangers need to offer for OEL? He’d be a good fit for us

Interesting pieces-Lundkvist, K. Miller, Georgiev, both 2020 first round picks, 2021 first, Andersson, Buchnevich, Howden, Strome, M. Robertson

Doubt Arizona is interested in any combo of those pieces. If they’re trading OEL they’ll want someone established back.

If I'm Arizona, I'd be interested in something around #16, #21, plus a handful of young players

Steen has a no-trade clause, so at his age I would imagine he's content to play out his final year with the contending Blues

Not really interested in futures for OEL.

 

[Neutrinos]

Not really interested in futures for OEL.

Why not?

Arizona doesn't currently have a core group that would be considered a legit contender, so why not continue to strengthen the foundation by adding picks and prospects?

Honestly, my #1 preference would be to fire everyone, and trade everyone. I hate everything about my team. But since that won't happen, I want a goddamned center who can play right now.

What about?

To STL:
OEL
Keller

To ARI:
Schenn
Dunn
Kyrou
Kostin

I think the Blues take that and run

 

[Yakupov64]

As do I. Blues would be stacked!

[simon IC]

I strongly disagree! Dunn, Kostin and Kyrou is a lot of youth to give up for one good prospect and a 28 yr old defenseman.

Keller is hardly a prospect at this point...

 

[simon IC]

Also, subtracting Schenn, Dunn and Kostin and adding OEL and Keller makes us significantly smaller and softer. I know everyone loves sexy flash and dash, but we didn't win a cup with soft. We also need Kyrou's speed. Sorry, I understand why people like Keller, but that proposal does not make us a better team.

How in the world can the Blues afford an $8.5 million Oliver Ekman-Larsson on top of Pietrangelo seeking around $9 million to $9.5 million per for 8 years. They don't have the cap for it. That's why.

Trading Schenn and Steen for OEL and Grabner saves the Blues $650k in cap.

Seems a bit light for OEL, no? I’m not sure Lindgren is the main piece in an OEL trade. I would do this pretty easily and Lindgren+Lemieux are two of my favorite players. You can keep Hinostroza if you want too lol
