Blues 2024 Off-Season Trade Proposals Thread

[LetsGoBLUES91]

Surprised how few have been predicted to STL. We had 12 mil in space. We now traded a guy (Hayes) with a second round pick to get to about 16 mil...no way you make that trade unless you're planning on spending to the cap now. If not, why not trade Hayes and like a 3rd or 4th next offseason when he only has 1 year left? We have to do something.

Marchessault? Edmundson? Stephenson? All 3. No way we'd be interested in Stamkos right? I wouldnt hate it but just seems odd. Idk why.

blues and cardinals battling to see which front office can’t sit on their hands longer.

Mediocrity is the new standard…

Overpaying free agents into their late 30s on long term deals is the best way to remain in mediocrity. None of these deals done today are anything the Blues should be entertaining.

A Buchnevich/Carolina trade makes a lot of sense after today IMO. Buchnevich ask has to be pretty crazy now, and Carolina needs some offense.

buchy for necas as base for deal? or you thinking prospects/picks?

Buch and Krug for Car 1st, Morrow, Kotkaniemi

Either? Could see them keeping Necas now with how some things played out, or them moving him in a different deal. They just don't look like a contender with the offense that they lost, especially if Necas isn't in their plans.

I am not as high on Necas as some are here. I think he would be a downgrade from Buchnevich. I would prefer picks.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Necas worries me just as much as Buch with his contract demands after the past 2 hours

I’m fine with saving our powder for when we really need it. Let the rainy day fund build up.

Necas is basically a worse version of Kyrou, and that's how people should view. I could go either way on him based on that description. I think the point in a Buch trade would be because of his age, a long contract will age better and he'll fit the core group better. He'll help a ton in transition with his speed, but those that expect him to be a magic solution at #2 C because he was drafted as a C don't have a full understanding of him IMO.

It's possible he can make that shift, but he's so far hasn't shown the ability to, and if he does, he'd need to be sheltered in that role.

I'd prefer Buch for stuff and stuff for Pinto.

long as the Pinto doesn't catch on fire

Kylington is a defensemen that I'd have interest in.

Fair enough. Necas we know is available, Pinto.. Sens say no, but we shall see. I'd love to pick up guy like him too.

I'd be happy with either. I think both would be valuable in the younger core.

Absolutely

 

[bleedblue1223]

Absolutely

I forgot he was a UFA, I think he'd be the perfect target and could play on any of our pairings and still young enough to keep around longer term if it's a good fit.

Sure, still need to find a way to move a body off defense first though.

Just waive Peru. Lol

I'm assuming Kylington is cheap enough where Perunovich operates as the 7th and Tucker is the 8th and we don't worry if he gets claimed.

Nick Robertson fits that age profile that Army often refers to and has requested a trade. Don’t really know what the ask would be, but he’s the type of guy you could toss a couple of picks at. He’s better than most guys you’re going to pick after the 1st round.

I'd toss a 3rd at him.

Pass. Decent player but we aren’t lacking for winger prospects. He isn’t type of guy you ideally want in bottom 6 and likely isn’t good enough for our top 6 longterm.

Carolina wouldn’t pay Guentzle, why would they pay Buchy? If his goal is to get paid, Carolina likely isn’t the place to get traded.

 

[Snubbed4Vezina]

I've never really been intersted in Nick Robertson. I think he's overhyped as a prospect by Leafs fans and his size is concerning.
