Just believe he is a very average player and just doesn’t add to much to the lineup. As we all know, we need cap space and would rather see Perron signed for 2-3 years at reasonable money <5.0 Million on a 3 year contract than have Saad. The Saad money could be used for LD or put away for next year when the big contract problems occur, i.e. ROR resigning, Thomas contract, Kyrou contract. Where is that money coming from to sign these players. I know the obvious answer is Tarasenko just dont think the Blues can trade him and get back no salary commitment.
 
My prediction

we trade Tarasenko for a 1st
re-sign Perron - 3 yrs 12 mill
re-sign Leddy 3 yrs 12 mill

we‘ll have the same team but without Tarasenko and Husso going into 2023. Neighbors takes over for Tarasenko.

No Way do I see either Perron and Leddy taking less than 4.5mil
 
I just have feeling that it is going to be us and Philly. It is pretty well known that they want to "shake things up" and that they need offense. I think it is going to be something around Tarasenko and Sanheim. Both have 1 year left before UFA and both fill a need.

Tarasenko, Scandella, 23OV for Sanheim and Konecny. (I know I'm wrong. Lol)

This would be a major mistake.

Saad was matched up against Cale Makar and it was not Makar who won.

He's a defensive forward that helped hold Makar and Co to their worst production in the playoffs. And he's exactly what Army went and hand picked in the offseason and played exactlyhow they wanted him. I see zero chance they trade him.

The matchup with the ongoingly potent direct rival Cup winners is most of what should drive how this team is made up. The Blues have a player for 4.5M who can be tasked with containing Makar over a whole series, he does it, which is by definition an elite performance, and you don't find that significant and want to get rid of the guy? In terms of "making a year" he also scored 24 goals this past year.

The people on this board seem to be against almost any players being moved or not signed as free agents except Scandella. Can’t move Krug, Tarasenko, must sign Perron at more than 5 million per year, must keep Saad, etc. We all know our left defense is inadequate. Folks the money for ROR next year, Thomas’s contract, Kyrou’s contract have to come from somewhere. Hard decisions have to be made. I’m just making suggestions that hopefully make those decisions easier.

It's not very usual to trade players 1-2 years after just giving them a new contract and NTC unless the player actively wants to leave for some reason. It's unrealistic to expect either Krug or Saad to be traded this off-season.

Tarasenko might not be back and I suppose anything can happen with Perron, but it's not like this team needs major changes. I don't think anyone was beating Colorado this year, but the Blues would have had a much better defense with a healthy Krug alongside Leddy.

Armstrong has options and I'm sure he's considered them all, but some of the moves suggested on this forum are not realistic at all.

Here’s my low level thinking, I read all the Krug comments and the vast majority was not for trading him even if one could. I’d be for trading him but he also has a NTC and he would solve some of the cap problems that the team has. I just don’t think a small, primarily offensive D signed at 6.5 mil for the next 4 years has much value. I think it is easier to move Saad. If you really want to play for a Stanley Cup next year, I don’t move Tarasenko. I understand why we would move him but it seems much more difficult to win it next year without him. Some HARD decisions have to be made as I have said with ROR’s contract demands next year and I don’t expect him to be giving us a deal. If someone thinks Perron is going to sign for 4 million or less I have some off shore property to sell you as this will be his last contract. Thomas’s contract and Kyrou’s contract demands are coming. Where is the money coming from???? We have a hole as LD that has to be solved. My flawed logic has spoken as well as my status as victim.

I wouldn't say you are in the minority at all, most here like what Krug brings. It is just that most don't think it is worth the contract.

it might be 1 mill too high, but FA’s aren’t beating our door down to come to STL. We have to overpay a little to get them. Just my opinion. I could be wrong.
