2024-2025 Blues Trade Proposals Thread.

[Bye Bye Blueston]

Absolutely brutal tonight from Hofer. What goalies are on the block at the deadline? Too many games down the stretch and Hofer is showing he's the weak link right now. Probably overreacting a bit but also curious what veteran goalies are out there for 5 stats down the stretch?

Ellis?

Holy over reaction Batman. Let the re-tool breathe. Hofer deserves to to play some meaningful hockey to hopefully develop more in a transition year.

Snuggy is the only missing piece they need

Getting rid of Kyrou is the only missing piece this team needs to become a playoff team. It may not happen this year even if they were to trade him because of the hole they dug themselves, but a full 82 game season without him costing you a dozen games is enough for them to be in the top 8.

Adding others like Snuggy will only help them further down the road become a elite team.

Have you ever considered that the nights that Kyrou is "off" are coincidentally the same nights the Blues as a team look "off." He is one of the engines that makes the offense go. Moving him would not be addition by subtraction, it would only hurt our already thin offensive game. I know nuance like this will probably sail right over your head as you continually beat the drum of Kyrou is worthless but then in the same breathe try to trade him for a star player.

Kyrou has cost them atleast 10 points this season. His idiotic turnovers IN TIED/CLOSE GAMES LATE like the doozy he had @ PHI and then games like tonight are how he does it. He has not come even remotely close to being the reason we GOT 10 points.

For every game he has like last night, he has 7-8 ones like tonight. He is about to be outproduced by Holloway, who has had nowhere near the chances and ice time Kyrou has gotten for the past 3 years.

Getting him off the team is as crucial as getting Chris Stewart, Brad Boyes and Jori Lehtera off the team was. They are all OVERRATED and on AWFUL contracts.

If you can trade Kyrou for Owen Power, or someone similar, I’m listening. Trading Kyrou because you think he’s a Lehtera or Stewart is silly.

Dude I dislike Hofer and even I think this is a psychotic take

It's painfully obvious at this point that emotional immaturity is the issue here and not #25 in the Blue note..

Evolving hockey’s tdl list

Finally somebody besides me lists McLeod as a trade candidate. Right to the top, as he should be.

He’s by far the most likely center to move besides pure rental depth pieces.

0 other folks have mentioned this dude. No tsn, no fans, no Eklund even. I started a thread here to 100% mockery.

It’s odd that the hockey insider community and the hockey fan community are unable or unwilling to identify the obvious trade candidates.

I still don't think he's traded, but I'd agree, I could see a scenario where he is. He comes with 2 years of control, so if Buffalo feels he doesn't wnt to stay, then maybe capitalize on his value. They should keep him, but I just don't know what Buffalo is going to do, they are just kind of a mess.

Take defense for example, while being LD heavy is part of the issue, the other part is how their big defensemen all play the same style, they are very similar. Because of how good Dahlin is, Power suffers. Power has great offensive metric, but he sucks defensively, and I don't think they are doing a good job of putting him in a position to succeed.

For me, Buffalo is a team where anyone could be available and it wouldn't surprise me. Thompson and Dahlin are probably the only ones not available.

Agree. Maybe a bright side to his inconsistency, is that his RFA value may be less for the Blues. In other words, I still think they keep him as the backup, but his value is no longer similar to what Husso got with his $4m deal. We should be able to get a bridge deal for Hofer for around $2-2.5 AAV for 2 years. If he wants more, we have Ellis in the wings.
