How would you guys feel about w Erixon/Moore for Paarjarvi deal? Pieces could be added or subtracted but that would be a good ground to start.
I'd do Moore + third rounder for Paajarvi. You really have to add because Paajarvi has developed a good all around hitting-forechecking game this year, and he's valuable even when he isn't scoring. I think he'll soon be a second line winger.
I think Nikitin could be a guy to go instead of Moore or Erixon. Don't know the construct to the deal but that could be a possibility. I wanted PRV before he started to put the puck in the net on the NHL level. Although some say he's still a 3rd line forward long term....
Edmonton would want a lot of our defencemen, including Nikitin, but we'd have to add a lot to Nikitin to get Paajarvi.
Maybe Nikitin + 2nd rounder + 4th rounder for Paajarvi?
One name that jumps out to me is Chris Stewart with the Blues. Obviously the JD connection is there but I recall reading the Blues could move him. He's a RW, power forward and can score. He's also 25 years old. I'm tying this in with moving one of our 1st's this year and likely a d-man and prospect (Nikitin, Savard?). Wishful thinking I'm sure.
Mid first + Savard for Stewart.
That might work this summer! Chris Stewart is everything we need. A first line power forward scorer, gritty, young and I think a couple more RFA years.

David Perron, with 3 yrs left at $3.8M AAV, gets my vote as most likely to be dealt now in STL.
What do people think?
He's soft and fragile, but he'd add more scoring ability to our lineup than anyone on our current roster has. Not sure what I'd give up though.
I know they just signed him to an extension, but I'd be interested in Pacioretty. He could be the 30 goal power forward LW we need. He's young and locked up to a fairly reasonable 6 year deal.
Would they consider something around Brassard and Savard for Pacioretty?
Sure, as long as we throw in Johansen.

Montreal has had interest in D David Savard for a while now. John Moore being a frequent scratch gets ya thinking, too.
Habs fan here. Can you guys give me an insight on that? Who is he, is he an asset you guys would trade, what would it cost us? Thanks !
Yes, you can have him. Maybe for a second rounder, or a similarly valued forward prospect. Savard's a big scorer, but is either (1)still out of shape, (2)too lazy to learn skating right, (3)or incapable of learning to skate right. Either way he needs out.
A thought came thru at lunch, with the cap coming down, what could we fetch with a package of Moore, Brass, and LA's 1st???
I want to trade that package too! It won't get us much now, unfortunately. In the summer I'd hope we could get Bobby Ryan for it. Do you think it would suffice?
