I’ve posted about this before, but either Saad or Leddy with some retention and multiple playoff runs of term would have quite a bit value to any team hoping to contend in the short term. They tend to get overlooked when we talk about moving players, and I doubt the time is now…but both could return significant positive value if/when they are moved.
Legitimately curious why you can't just scroll past a Blueston post without replying shit like this. They should start giving you an infraction the second you hit reply to any of his posts cause you can't help but be an ass EVERY SINGLE TIME.
He shot 40%, I don't expect him to keep those numbers.
I think they try to be selective on big splashes, but they will make them. Another consideration is just with all the picks and prospects they have, do they have room to develop all of them.
Yeah, they have made 18 selections in the first 3 rounds in the last 3 drafts (six 1sts, six 2nds, and six 3rds). That is legitimately cramming 6 drafts worth of prospects into 3 drafts.
Could be as simple as trading up to get a higher draft pick too.
Lol. You never post, and basically the only times I’ve seen you are when you’re complaining about this.
I would wager none of those guys would have interest in coming back here. That team is not a contender and still a long shot to make the playoffs. These guys at this point in their careers are going to be looking to win, also Tarasenko and Perron both left not on the best terms with the organization so I would imagine there is very little desire to return if any at all. Also Stephenson, Monahan, Pesce, Walker will all be getting overpaid in FA and that is not something the Blues need to do at this point of their retool.
I honestly don't even pay attention to who you're doing it to most of the time, because almost all of your posts are like that, but lately, its every time he makes a post. You rarely add anything to the conversation even when you actually do take the time to talk about hockey, but when he posts, you always have to add something.
Was going to post the same thing. He is so much more effective at wing, I feel he is wasted at center. I also don't believe he will be here by the time the season rolls around but that remains to be seen.
I thought at the end of last season he looked very good centering Kyrou and Saad. The second line was a massive weakness last year and I don't see any other way to put together a good second line. With his hockey IQ and skill distributing the puck he could successfully make the move especially with Kyrou to open up more space through the NZ.
Agreed. I think Faulk is a guy that has a lot more value than many of us think, because even though he is fairly highly paid it's only for 3 more years and any similar quality UFA will likely get longer commitment. For team like Utah (or other young team with guys they know they are going to have to pay soon), spending some of the excess draft capital they have accumulated over past few years to acquire guy like Faulk should be enticing. He isn't going to return 6OA, but maybe their top 2nd this year and another next (they have 3 this year and 4 next in 2nd plus 5 3rds over this and next)? Or something like Nordh (who was teammates with Lindstein this year so we presumably saw a lot of him), a 2nd, and a 3rd?
LMAO.
I'd give it almost a 0% chance Tarasenko would ever resign here.
I disagree with most of this.
Funny you think Tarasenko would ever return to St. Louis. He wanted out, remember? Plus his home is in Florida now and has been for several off-seasons, including that he's likely to be a Cup winner with Florida.
Let's say that adding 1 of Perron or Tarasenko is the difference between missing and making the playoffs. I don't think that either makes that large of an impact, but let's assume it is true. 4-6 games of playoff revenue over 2 seasons likely would not match the $9-$10M you want the Blues to give them.
