30 goals is a 1st line player
20-25 goals and 45-50 points will suffice

With respect, Blues fans covet Stankoven, but are a little too enamored by him. Good playmaker who is not the fastest out there, but has a methodical approach. I’m not sure many outside the Central know the Stars like we do. But me thinks much of the NHL fan base sees Stank as a star.That is true lol. I blame it on being 5 am here and a lack of sleep. I guess he's on pace for 70 this year but that's it.
I agree we have the assets just that the asset is Bichsel who I wouldn't trade for Jones (Im personally sceptical that Stankoven or Bourque hold much value outside of Dallas)
What would Jokiharju and Tuch look like from the Stars. Can they even afford that deal.
To be clear, I really like Stankoven aswell and wouldn't trade him for anything but a good RD. Just think that it's very possible that various size obsessed FO's value him lower.With respect, Blues fans covet Stankoven, but are a little too enamored by him.

All it takes is one GM in the East to overvalue Stank. Although, trading him would be a mistake unless it is for a good RHD.
As prospect watchers, many of us Blues fans were hopeful/fearful (lol) that Mav would be able to adjust to the NHL in a more robust manner. He’s coming along fine and I just can’t see him being traded. It would be a big mistake. The cupboard is thin.
Oh yeah! We play each other today!!
Okay. Toodles.
That is possible that his size is a concern, but I agree that trading him would be a mistake. I think Nill needs to be uber conservative with his young players. Stank and Mav need to stay put and gel with the rest of the core.To be clear, I really like Stankoven aswell and wouldn't trade him for anything but a good RD.

Good luck today.
