2024-2025 Blues Trade Proposals Thread.

[Memento]

While I think getting him would be good for the NOW i don't know how good it would be a year from now.

If we could Jettison POJ, Saad, and Tex, Bring in Kakko for 3RW, and call up Dvo I think we have a good setup right now.

Neighbours-Thomas-Buch
Holloway-Dvo-Kyrou
Bolduc-Schenn-Kakko


But, we still need to think about Snuggy being on the way at the end of this season as well.

True, but you also have to consider Holloway going to be at center instead of Dvorsky. I know that Dvorsky's doing well right now, but I'd prefer to see him next year when he's seasoned from a year in the AHL.

I also don't know if Snuggerud is going to be completely ready by that time either; college is a completely different game than the NHL, and I'd rather him improve on the various little things with coaches who can tailor to his development. Whether that's in the NHL or AHL, I don't know.

Trust me, I believe in both of them, but I don't think it's the wisest plan for their development to bring them directly to the NHL after less than a season in the AHL or just coming out of college.

Again, I know he doesn't fill a need, but I'd kill to have Kakko on the third line along with Bolduc, especially if he didn't cost too much.

While next season isn't a guaranteed success for Snuggerud, there are many players who have transitioned well into the NHL directly from college namely Boeser, Oshie, Faber, Keller, etc.

Another big hurdle for trading for someone right now for the top 6 C is we really don't have anyone with high enough value that wed be willing to trade. Fairly confident Dvo, Snuggerud, Bolduc, Lindstein, Jiricek, and Stenberg and our future 1st rounders are fairly in the camp of "don't trade".

That leaves players like Dean, Buchinger, Ralph, Fischer, Jecho, Pekarcik, Burns, Kaskimaki, and Dickinson then our 3rd round and later picks. All players i don't think really have a ton of trade value to get what we need.

 

[Mike Liut]

Would you guys trade our 1st for Kakko?

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Would you guys trade our 1st for Kakko?

No

Tho if KA Miller is coming with him....

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Would you guys trade our 1st for Kakko?

f*** no! Krappo Taco can get lost.

 

[Snubbed4Vezina]

Would you guys trade our 1st for Kakko?

Absolutely not.

 

[Stealth JD]

Would you guys trade our 1st for Kakko?

K’Andre, yes. Kaako, no.

 

[Mike Liut]

Seattle just traded for Kakko. I’ve always liked him

For a 3rd, 6th and struggling young defender. Yikes, Drury.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

I smell blood in NYR land. Army get him on the phone and get KA Miller.

Kakko is not good, so not surprised. I blame Drury for rushing him to the Bigs. Kakko went from the draft to the NHL with no acclimation period. Kakko may have turned out okay, but rushing players often does not work out.

I understand that there could be an argument that he looked great in Camp and pre-season and all that, soooooooo.

That is a surprisingly low return for a 2nd overall pick in only 2019. I would have paid that if I were in Army's position...

 

[PocketNines]

they're going cacao for kakka in salmontown, what a disaster for the rangers. terrible draft pick. hard biffed a #2 overall yikes

 

[Quaz]

Per Friedman POJ back to Pitt

 

[Mike Liut]

Future considerations. We couldn’t at least get a 4th?

Would you trade a 4th for him? I wouldn't

 

[LetsGoBooze]

Im guessing we paid it forward since they were flexible in the offseason moving our 2nd back a year so we could offersheet.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

I would not be surprised to see another trade before the Roster Freeze.

 

[Stealth JD]

Maybe we can send them M. Joseph too. Or send him back to Ottawa. Or Tampa.

Or, better yet…maybe they can trade Texier next!

I hope so.

We absolutely destroyed Pittsburgh in this trade for future considerations

The Joseph brothers were terrible, hopefully Mathieu is on the plane after. the offer sheets were great. Texier is weak sauce too. Faksa and Suter have been somewhat useful.

 

[Stealth JD]

Army traded a 4th FOR Texier…I’d like to see him offer our 5th and 6th in ‘25 to get rid of him. A less painful version of the Hayes fiasco…plus it would be kind of cool to see if we can trade all of our picks before the start of the ‘25 draft. They’re down to 1, 5 & 6.
This last two must go.

 

[Mike Liut]

Nope
