2024-2025 Blues Trade Proposals Thread.

[Mike Liut]

Leaf fan coming in peace. Cowan is a 3rd line winger, maybe can fill in on the 2nd line from time to time.

Not an NHL Centre. Will be a good pro.
I live in London btw.

We have young wingers coming out our bungholes.

Minten or Danford are both solid prospects too.

Kyrou
Holloway
Neighbors
Bolduc
Snuggerud
Pekarcik
Stenberg
Stancl
Jecho
Kos

I think every one will be an NHLer

And that is a non-starter anyway, right?

Like you and others have posted, we are good to go on future winger depth, but Knies is already there.

I would definitely not start with Parayko, unless they add ++.

I would love to have Knies on the Blues.

Our winger prospects with mental toughness will prevail. The others will see a roadblock.

I'm not so sure. We have a scout at BOS/NYI game, so in theory, if we move Parayko for Knies+ and do Kyrou for Dobson, positionally, it cancels out. And if Army is at the point where a bunch of the current wingers are on the list of available players, I don't think we should pretend that those guys are set in stone here. I wouldn't be shocked at all if Neighbours or Kyrou are moved. And of the prospects, some of them won't develop into top 6 players, so when I'm moving a major player, I'm acquiring the best possible player, mostly regardless of position, and I'll figure out the roster makeup later, especially if the goal is to give Steen the most talent or value to work with.

I think it would be silly of us to cross any winger target off the list because Kyrou, Neighbours, Holloway, Buchnevich, Stenberg, Snuggerud, Pekarcik, Stancl, Bolduc, Kaskimaki. Buchnevich could decline, Neighbours/Bolduc could stagnate, we could move Kyrou, and some of the prospects could flop. That doesn't mean prioritize wingers over positions of greater need, just that I'm not 100% convinced that the wingers we currently have in the org result in Steen's core getting to contender level. It's possible, but I want the younger core to be in the best possible shape when Steen takes over.

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

I don’t think we are selling.

Perhaps I spoke too soon.

 

[Blueswin]

I guess Broberg doesn't want to get traded.....2 goals tonight.

Are they more than a 4th line center and a bottom 6 d man? Not downgrading them, just asking what you see.

Minten

Ready to be a 3rd line Centre as early as next year
Limited ceiling offensively.
High IQ. Very professional for his age
Strong 200ft game
Coaches kinda player.

Danford

Little to no offensive upside (stats will verify that)
Tough old school dman
Needs time 2-4 years away
Mid pair defensive dman no further upside.
Leader - OHL Captain
Voted hardest worker by OHL coaches
Absolute puck eater blocks everything

Minten = safe. Will be a good solid pro
Danford = project. If he turns out though (think Chris Tanev type).

 

[Budz]

If I may - can I also ask a question?
After your game. Go Blues…

Schenn low points - why?
Line-mates
Injuries
Symptom of how the team played
PP time at all

I see him as a 200ft centre, pass first and who will score tough goals on the inside.

If the Leafs get him - I see him playing 3rd line with Nylander and Robertson.

Thoughts?

This tracks. They would both fill holes in our system. And I really liked Danford in his draft year.

I think we have numerous better players in our system already. We are pretty stacked imo.

Just wasn’t playing as well early in the year I would say

 

[Mike Liut]

Any interest in Cozens? If so, what’s your offer? A Sabres fan says they aren’t interested in picks or prospects.

Another poster is correct that he got off to a bit of a slow start but I don’t really understand the question. His points aren’t what I would call low. He’s on pace to hit 50 this season, that’s exactly in line with expectations.

 

[Mike Liut]

Kyrou for Cozens? Buffalo probably wants a young center in return.

kyrou worth more. Athletic suggested kyrou for couzens, helenius, and a 2nd.

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

Zero interest in Cozens

 

[Snubbed4Vezina]

Zero interest in Cozens

I haven't been impressed with Cozens either. We should aim higher for a #2C.

 

[bleedblue1223]

Cozens has had 1 good season out of 5 and really doesn't have a defensive game.

He’ll be our 3C in 2 years

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

Sounds even worse to pay a guy $7.1mil to be a 3C, as well as potentially giving up Kyrou for it as has been floated in this thread.

 

[Xerloris]

Thomas played in the Final and got trucked by Krug. Well, maybe just mini-biked, but RT’s wrist was injured all the same. Although, I think the Krug injured RT narrative is inaccurate.

My only attachment from that team is to Perron.

Binnington means nothing to you?

 

[LetsGoBooze]

Kyrou for Cozens? Buffalo probably wants a young center in return.

From a guy that preaches he wants big mean guys atleast every other day, im shocked Cousins is your target. He's as soft as Kyrou, sure he plays center, but if were cashing in our Kyrou chip i certainly wouldn't be happy w/that move.

I'd target Byram + Helenius/Quinn

What are you going to do with the influx of left-handed defenseman we already have? I keep seeing his name brought up, but we have a lot of guys under contract.

Come on man, nobody thinks in terms of team building. They see the shiny new toy on the shelf and they want it.
