Probably the most likely candidate to be moved by the Blues this off-season.

No, he’s on LTIR. Nobody is trading for him.

 

[ole ole]

No, he’s on LTIR. Nobody is trading for him.

His injuries are concerning.

 

[Dr Quincy]

Probably the most likely candidate to be moved by the Blues this off-season.

Unlikely candidate since he's going to be out until February at the earliest.

 

[TysonBarrie]

Unlikely candidate since he's going to be out until February at the earliest.

Still probably the easiest to trade if they need to clear cap to sign AP. They did well without him and other candidates have NMC/NTC.

 

[Captain Mountain]

Probably the most likely candidate to be moved by the Blues this off-season.

Considering his shoulder, he's one of the most unlikely candidates to be moved.

 

[Dr Quincy]

Still probably the easiest to trade if they need to clear cap to sign AP. They did well without him and other candidates have NMC/NTC.

In a world where teams are having $ issues... dealing for a guy who makes $7.5m and who has a very uncertain future seems pretty unlikely.

 

[themelkman]

Think you have to wait till his status clears up.

 

[Djp]

Probably the most likely candidate to be moved by the Blues this off-season.

Last I heard he won’t be back till 2021.

Nobody is going to tradefor a LTIR

Nobody on the Blues has an NMC. Tarasenko has an NTC.

Since tanks 7.5M will be on LTIR for at least the next 5 months, how much cap space do the blues have to clear to sign peit to an 8M extension that allows them to accrue enough cap for when he returns?

Figure petro wants 9 mil he makes 6.5 currently so he needs 2.5 for an increase. Tarasenko will be out for about 5 months after surgery till he will be re-evaluated. So from the point of surgery I bet he will be out for at least 6months at least half to 3/4 of the season so he will use up 3.75 to 5.5 mil of ltir. So since nhl teams can be 10% over the cap until the beginning of the season when ltir kicks in. Blues don't need to shed salary. Give petro 2.5 and give dunn 1 year 1.25 raise till next season when steen allen and bozak (15mil) is off the books. Easy peasy lemon squeezey

 

[BlueDream]

Nobody will do it this offseason.

Now, come next offseason I would definitely listen to offers.

 

[nickdawg95]

He'll probably get traded to buffalo this off season, which would be the most buffalo thing ever

 

[HolyGhost]

Probably the most likely candidate to be moved by the Blues this off-season.

you do know the other nhl teams now his career might be over, right?

 

[GermanSpitfire]

I’d give up the farm for a Tarasenko

 

[Hockeyholic]

Boston or Edmonton desperately need a Tarasenko type player on their team.

 

[zar]

Boston or Edmonton desperately need a Tarasenko type player on their team.

Both teams don’t have the cap room for that contract though.

I would love to have a true trigger man like Tarasenko on the Oil.

I wonder if this shoulder issue... even once healed... could have a huge impact on the effectiveness of his shot. ?

I don’t think the Oil could ever take that chance... too much risk for me.

 

[Harvey Birdman]

Still probably the easiest to trade if they need to clear cap to sign AP. They did well without him and other candidates have NMC/NTC.

No one will want him with his shoulder in question. Not that hard to understand. Walk to the board and answer 2 + 2 for me. If you bat around why someone should trade for him again you’d probably answer that question wrong.

 

[LTIR]

Nobody is going to tradefor a LTIR

why you heff to be like that?

 

[Deebs]

3 shoulder surgeries in 3 years isn't it? Not good

 

[simon IC]

His career could be over. I doubt the Blues trade him right now, A) out of respect for him and what he has done for the franchise and community, (See Ari Dougan), and B), I doubt any team would be interested until he is healed and re-evaluated.

The Oilers are the first team I thought of (before the news about Tarasenko's shoulder) that could take a chance on him if they decide they need to re-sign Pietrangelo and maybe even retool a bit.

 

[Crow]

I think there are a lot of GMs who would give him a shot and even trade a good piece or two to get him even now. He is that talented.

First, that’s not the way LTIR works. Second, you don’t account for increases to Schenn and Faulk already scheduled for next year. Blues need to clear about $8-9mm to ink Petro and be able to activate Tank when he is healthy.
