Well...at least, no matter what, you’ll be right. Just go back and edit your post Monday afternoon.

I'm starting to hope for a Hoffman + Mikkola for Hall swap...
I really want to hang on to Mikkola
I’ve pondered a 3 team deal where Hoffman goes to whatever team wants him and Buffalo is the middle team but who knows
How would people feel about a deal where Hall was acquired and re-signed to an expected value contract, and Schwartz was going the other way?

Hard no. I'd prefer that they do next to nothing this trade deadline other than maybe add a depth guy on D.
I like Schwartz but if he gets a 7 million per year contract long term it’s going to be ugly from day one. Honestly he’s not talented enough for that type of contract. He’ll be 30 when he signs the contract, he’s had a history of injuries, some were unlucky, and he’s not enough of a game changer.

We are going to stand pat. Unless there is a depth dman move....... The “Armstrong Special.”
Is Del Zato available?

When has JR ever broke any kind of trade news other than either knowing or guessing the Blues would protect Reaves???
Betting he’s writing an article regurgitating the news that Army was at least listening to calls about Schwartz
In fairness, I don’t think there is any writer who has inside information with this front office. They run a tight ship.

Trading Hoffmann + some picks for Hall so that Buffalo could flip Hoffmann again to someone else makes sense to me. Gives DA a chance to try out a player he's wanted for a while without selling the farm on a longshot season, gives us a player who may better fit our system.
Of course, then there's the whole Schwartz or Hall conversation that would eat up our offseason.

Me too. How about Perunovich to Buffalo instead? With Walman emerging, and Krug and Dunn already established, maybe Perunovich's skill set is a bit redundant?

Our D is not as strong & "shut-down" as it was during our Cup year, so I wouldn't mind us getting a big tough guy there, someone like Jamie Oleksiak of Dallas, as an example.

I was hoping Mikkola would help with that, but he's not ready. He still might, someday.

Why?
Trading a promising young prospect like Perunovich to hold onto a 25 year old who couldn't hold onto a bottom pairing role when the team was beset by injuries is madness. If you want more size and toughness at LHD, there are much better ways to go about it than cutting off your nose to spite your face.
I see your point. I was just pointing out the logjam of small and smallish offensive defensemen on the left side. Yes, you are right. Of course Perunovich has more value than Mikkola. My idea was not so much to substitute Perunovich to save Mikkola, but rather as Perunovich has more value, offering him in a trade for Hall might save us a 1st, or perhaps get Buffalo to retain more on Hall, or even get us a small add. As we have a number of LD's in the same age bracket who possess a similar skill set to Perunovich, his loss may be more easily absorbed. I should have been more clear, my bad.
