No clue. They are pretty good right now.
Do you really think the Blues will sit tight?
I didn't look at this as a seller, I looked at it as a trade that could help both teams. I didn't realize how much Edmundson was disliked. If the value wasn't enough add to it or swap players. is what I was asking. Right now I think St. Louis will be in the same situation as the Blue Jackets are with Seth Jones. I may be wrong, but looking at Jay's minutes and nothing else on the back end I thought it was a start to a mutual trade that could help both teams.As a Canes fan this makes no sense for St. Louis...Edmundson was scratched at times and pretty much a throw-in for Faulk, can't see them wanting him back or valuing him at all. And they're a Cup contender again this year, why would they trade away a guy like Schenn? Definitely not sellers this year leading the WC
Petro and Parayko are the heavy-lifters, Bouwmeester was a minute-muncher on the shutdown pair with Parayko though. It hurts, but it doesn't significantly hurt us.I didn't look at this as a seller, I looked at it as a trade that could help both teams. I didn't realize how much Edmundson was disliked.

So what do we do about the 18-20min up front that we lose with Schennyou have 20 to 22 minutes to replace on the defensive side of the house. Here you get defense, a good young center to replace the one your losing, (I will admit his not Schenn and a 1st. A lot of teams are going to be kicking tires, so I felt I'd kick them and see what the response would be. Counters are welcome But St. Louis right now are in the same defensive boar as Carolina but I think Carolina has a few more assets to deal from.

Ok, let me ask this, with Jay being gone for the year and maybe forever, What will the mental effect be, if the Blues don't try to land someone? Not trying to antagonize anyone but we hear over and over how a late season injury affected a team and the players were upset or disappointed that management didn't try to do something?Petro and Parayko are the heavy-lifters, Bouwmeester was a minute-muncher on the shutdown pair with Parayko though.

I understand and appreciate what you are saying but 13 days before the trade deadline and GM's are like vultures if they see prey they are going to try to be the first to knock at the door.you are wrong, but you haven't given up on your notion yet
you're trying to be opportunistic less than 24 hours after a major issue for the team and it wasn't well thought through
And you believe that trading away our 3rd leading scorer would improve that mental effect?Ok, let me ask this, with Jay being gone for the year and maybe forever, What will the mental effect be, if the Blues don't try to land someone?

i am saying you're being the vulture. other gms will not pester people to buy their logic when it's half-baked and armstrong certainly won't entertain it.I understand and appreciate what you are saying but 13 days before the trade deadline and GM's are like vultures if they see prey they are going to try to be the first to knock at the door.

The pieces you included do not make sense for the blues.Like I stated if you think it falls short then counter or is that way too much for you?
Pretty simple no trade at all
Assuming CAR grabs an RD prior to the deadline, I’d think they’d certainly consider moving Edmundson back to the Blues for a pick.
Do you really think the Blues will sit tight?
That easy. Faulk, Bozak and a 1st for Aho.Y
Then tell us SA what kind of trade if any you'd suggest for the Blues or Canes for that matter
Yeah no way I can see the Blues making that trade? I think the Canes would like to move one of the two first round picks for a roster player
And I think this is something the Blues would consider as a rental given his familiarity with the system and teammates, but I think you're looking at something small, like the return of your 5th rounder, if there is no retention. $3.1M is a big number, even for a rental, for a guy that wouldn't likely be used as a Top 4 guy.Assuming CAR grabs an RD prior to the deadline, I’d think they’d certainly consider moving Edmundson back to the Blues for a pick.
