Blues Trade Proposals 2019-2020 - Part II

[Blueston]

One stop shop in LA with Toffoli and Martinez. 50% retention on Martinez.

I'd send a 2020 1st and 2021 2nd for both.

That is awful. I wouldn't want Martinez at all. And no way do I part with 1st for Toffoli.

EDIT: Make it a 2020 2nd since Buffalo owns 2021 2nd.

BARF. Trading both top-picks in this draft is a bad idea. Trading for Martinez is a worse than bad idea.

Brandon Dillon or Alec Martinez? Both are LHD that are available.

Dillon is interesting. It would depend on the price. Big no to Martinez for me.

 

[Quaz]

How about Ben Hutton from LA or Del Zotto from ANH?

No, we've got depth, if we get anyone. They need to actually be a roster player

MDZ would bring Cup winning experience.

I’d be down with Dillon or Greene(@ 50% retained) if we’re adding another LHD.

Greene would likely waive his NTC since he’s still searching for a Cup, and Dillon would add some extra size and toughness to our team.

Despite having two different types of styles of play, both would be pretty solid adds to replace Bo.

I am really warming up to the idea of acquiring Dillon. Greene on the other hand, smallish PMD ... meh. After the Faulk debacle (yes, you read that right!) I am a little hesitant to add that kind of defenseman. We have enough offense (or at least we should have!) in Dunn, Faulk and Pietrangelo. I would like a big defensive player who can help on the PK.

If the ask on Dillon is reasonable, I'd be interested.

I think he will be a hot commodity at the TDL

Greene has played the most minutes in the league on the PK

Wow. I did not know that.

...that....is true.

Greene has played the most minutes in the league on the PK

is that due to personal or is he actually good? Dont watch any NJ games.


I do think the defense needs to get sorted out. Run Mikko for some games, sink or swim. If it's not looking good, pull the trigger on a guy like Dillon. He fits out model well.

The forwards.....they've been scoring but we just cant keep the puck out of our net. I'd hate to see DA expend assets on defense and forwards.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

I say keep the Foward group there way it is just wait for Tarasenko and Sunny to get back.

Run something like.

Sanford-RoR-Perron
Schwartz-Schenn-Blais/Steen/Tarasenko
Bozak-Thomas-Tarasenko/Steen/Blais
Barbie-Sunny-Blais/Steen
Extra:Kyrou, MacMac
AHL:Brouwer, DLR

Our biggest hole now is the big minute eating LHD which I think Dillon is probably the best pickup. Especially with how his cap hit is almost identical to JBo's (3.27 vs 3.25). Plus it looks like Sharks fans are only looking at a 2nd and a b or c prospect. I also dont trust Boom Boom's health one bit, and Bortz hasn't looked good from the last few games I seen him in.

Dillon-Pietrangelo
Dunn-Parayko
Mikkola-Faulk
Extra: Gunner, Bortz

You can Flip Gunner and Brotz in and out as needed.

I disagree that Dillon's best deployment would be with Petro, we've been sorely lacking an effective shutdown pairing with the rotating pairings.

I'd really like to try Dillon alongside Parayko in an attempt to recreate the success of the JBo Parayko pairing last year.

I'm not optimistic we'll see JBo back on the ice playing for us after the incident in Anaheim.

 

[BlueKnight]

I was chatting with my buddy at work today he mentioned with Bouwmeester out that he thinks the Blues should get Marco Scandella. He is a LHD and a UFA at the end of the year. Has good peripheral stats. I think he would be a solid and fairly cheap pick up.

I would still give Mikkola a shot in the lineup

I would take a flyer on Dillon he would be a perfect with Petro.

 

[Dbrownss]

With them not playing Mikkola at all, I'd imagine theyll go the trade route to address Boumeester's absence

IF that is case its just blind stupidity from Chief part not try-out Mikkola - Parayko pair.

No matter IF chance them work is ~ 10% you still look that card before go trade.

Small thing, but infuriating.
