I still think lots of smoke, but no real fire. Feels a lot like last year. But for fun, I’ll play along.
To Avs: Schenn ($1 million retained), Faksa (50% retained), Jiricek
To Blues: Middlestadt, Calum Ritchie, 2025 2nd, 2025 4th
To NJ: Buchnevich
To STL: Tatar (salary dump), 2025 2nd, 2025 3rd
Neighbours - Thomas - Bolduc
Holloway - Middlestadt - Kyrou
Joseph - Dvorsky - Ritchie/Snuggerud
Toro - Walker - Texier
Alexandrov (or some other AHL guy)
Dump one of Faulk/Leddy over the summer.
I think I would counter with:
Schenn to Jersey for Nemec
Or
Schenn to Winnipeg for Salomonsson
Or
Schenn to Vancouver for Wallinder
Or
Schenn to Columbus for Mateychuk
Buchnevich to Buffalo for Byram
At least those are the base of the deals. One thing that should be in play, depending on the return, is the Blues first round pick.
