Blues Trade Proposals Part X

[bleedblue1223]

Alright, now we're at Johnson+1st for Shattenkirk. Either Tampa fans really want Shatty or Johnson is another Henrique.

 

[BlueDream]

I mean I like Johnson but the guy barely outscored Shattenkirk this season.

If we're trading Shatty for a center please get someone that can at least hit 60-70 points.

 

[The Note]

I wouldn't want to trade Shattenkirk for Johnson+. The Krejci deal that a Bruins fan tossed out though? Yeah, sign me up.

 

[Chojin]

But even then, even though I am disappointed with Oshie's playoff performances, I don't think trading him is the solution.

I don't want to trade him either; I love that guy. But you've got to give to get, and I'd rather have a 1st line center than a 1st line winger.

 

[Dbrownss]

After Oshie's concussion he even admitted he was still getting his feel for the game back 2nd game in, he still potted 2 goals, I'd almost till give him a pass.

As for our center, I don't see much of krejci, statsny, and now Tyler Johnson. Which one would actually be a dynamic offensive center?

Stastny has to be this teams number one goal IMO.

Him centering Schwartz and Tarasenko would be terrific. It's a long shot we get him though.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Btw what do you guys think about Pavelski? I guess Sharks would be interested in Shattenkirk and some plus (like Berglund or Jaskin) for him. Sure he's 30, but he's scored 41+38 in 82 game this season. He's a better 2-way player than Spezza, and nobody can say he's made out of glass.

 

[Dbrownss]

My only issue with statsny would be age and term. Would we really pay him 6+mill well into his 30s when most agree it's ddownhill past 30? I realize he's the best option. Florida needs to stop hoarding those top centerman.....

 

[LetsGoBooze]

What about something around Shatty for the 2 Schenns. Brayden to fill our center gap and Luke can step up and play Shatty's role (without the obvious offensive production from the backline, but he is a RHD).

I would love that, but at this point Brayden Schenn is actually pretty close to Shatty in value, if not a bit better. Kid is still 22.

Luke Schenn is Polak version 2.0, and Brayden hasn't proven capable of being a second line center. That would be a terrible trade for us.

Polak is actually a good skater Luke not so much at all.

 

[Vladys Gumption]

That much is true. But Luke is a black hole offensively, and frankly he's not that great defensively. He's a third pairing guy.

Brayden was very good this year as a 2-way player, and he's got tons of potential. He could reach 60-70 points with Tarasenko and Schwartz.

If we're trading Shattenkirk, we better not be trading him for what a player could potentially reach. If he moves it should be for a young center who's already established as a top six scoring option, ideally with some room to grow. Stepan comes to mind as an example.

This is exactly my feelings. Potential be damned, I want a proven commodity. If we're giving up Shattenkirk for a forward, I don't think it's too much to ask that the forward being returned has actually outscored Shattenkirk.

Thats my opinion as well. Shattenkirk will hit 50 points eventually. The center needs to have come at least close to 60 and be young for me to consider moving him.

 

[Novacain]

Just gonna throw this out: Any interest in Thornton from the Sharks? I know he's getting up there, but vision doesn't tend to go away. The best passer in the league setting up Tank sounds great to me.

They won't be trading him he'll retire a Shark. Also he's just to old to put together a package that would make sense for both teams.

He might breakout because he's young, but he hasn't been playing with scrubs. His offense is no where near proven enough to trade Shatty for.

We need someone who has at a minimum hit 50 points in a season. That's why Johnson is the lowest I would go. I'd take Kadri and Stepan over Schenn as well. Just too many other viable options that would better fit us for what we need, a more offensive oriented center.

 

[Daley Tarasenkshow]

I would never trade Shatty straight up for Schenn, but he does intrigue me. Stepan would be great, he's my top pick.

 

[The Note]

Stepan would be great, I just don't see any way the Rangers let him go. I think it'd have to be a pretty substantial + in addition to Shattenkirk to land him.

So for some god forsaken reason, I was over on the asylum and found this gem on there:

petro, o'shie, berglund and a first...
for
malkin and neal...

sign stastny...

move backes to rw...

centers---malkin, stastny, sabotka, lapierre
rw---------tarasenko, backes, jaskin, reaves
lw---------schwartz, neal, steen, ott

i know i've created a hole on r-def...don't care i wanna see some offense...

What's so wrong with that?

 

[bleedblue1223]

Spezza is probably the most likely target because Murray's reported asking price is something like Berglund+Rattie/Jaskin+Edm 2nd.
