I’m dreaming here, but they do seem like a good fit. ZERO chance we get Nikishin, but I want him.

To CAR: Binner (20% retained), Schenn
To STL: Anderson (cap), Kotkaniemi (cap) and Nikishin!!!
I'm surprised that with all the talk about Carolina as a potential trading partner that Nikishin's name has not come up. Binninton's value has never been higher. I don't think that Nikishin is that far-fetched an ask.

Am I missing something or are people wanting to trade Binny for a 23 year old Russian that hasn't even come over here to the NHL yet?
 
Binnington for Anderson, KK, Badinka, Unger Sorum and rights to Roman Shokrin

First two are matching salaries which Carolina will need and give the Blues a 2nd line third line center. Badinka is a RHD who is much like Lindstein except more physical. They aren’t trading Morrow or Nick. Two big holes next year to fill. Unger will give the Blues a puck carrier and playmaker they lack on the wing. The Blues lack guys that can carry the puck in the zone and make a play. Their prospects are not in that mold. They dump it or get rid of it. He does it at 19 in at the AHL level. Shokrin is a big 6’5” Russian defenseman. Carolina has a bunch of them. He’s a bruiser with some puck skills. Longshot, but better than a pick this year.

He is probably the best prospect in all of hockey that hasn’t played in the NHL. They aren’t trading him, unless they have given up on him coming over.
Read an article yesterday that this is the last year of his contract in the KHL. If his team is eliminated early enough, and he signs with CAR as expected, he could be in the NHL before the playoffs begin. They said he would immediately be inserted into their lineup.

I was a bit tongue-in-cheek with my posts above when wishing he was included in the trade proposals being bantered about. I don't think there is any way he is going to be traded, if so, it might have been in the Rantanen deal. I just wish we had a guy like that on our team, even though he is a LHD. Him and Broberg could be our top 4 LHD for the next 10 years. Just a pipe dream though.
