Rumor: Brandon Saad

to the wild? With retention

I wouldn't be expecting any retention; but we can likely take on a fairly sizeable contract in return.
If we LTIR Leddy, we'd have Krug entire LTIR money to work with(plus the 4.5 that Saad makes).

But if we're being honest, I don't see anything realistic on the Wild that I'd be interested in.

He wouldn't waive but we could use someone like him in Chicago to play with kids

He would be major upgrade over most of our roster as well

Full NTC. Waive or get the Trouba/Goodrow treatment.

Kampf + Robertson + a pick (if retention)

I have no desire for Accieri. I wouldn't be surprised if the asking price is a 2/3rd+ meeeehhhhhh prospect if the Blues retain.

I'd do Saad at 50% for Villeneuve and a 3rd

I wonder if stl would take a career ahl guy for Saad. No picks no retention, just one guy who probably isn’t an nhler.

Like one of those guys who doesn’t pan out at the nhl level but crushes it in the ahl.

If they move Saad they’re putting some fresh faces up the depth chart (Sylvegard, Robertsson) who haven’t gotten an nhl call up yet. So it would be nice to bolster that group. They also have a lot of prospects at the ahl level. I could see the blues prioritizing a winning ahl group for a few years.

Kampf + Robertson + a pick (if retention)

Doesn’t really help the reason why the Blues would move him in the 1st place.

He did the same thing last season and then got ultra hot for a stretch of time and ended up where he seems to end up every year.

I don’t think he’ll be moved until the offseason anyways, but we are going down a route that’s going well of Bolduc/Holloway/Neighbors getting ice time. All 3 are wings. Joseph deserves to play as much as Saad does at this point. Kyrou and Buch aren’t being scratched. Schenn probably needs to be a winger.

We need a 2C for sure. Getting a guy like Kampf only complicates things when Dvorsky is ready and moves Sunny out of the lineup - while not a big deal, but I also don’t think Kampf is any better so no reason to pay both of them to be bottom end 3C options for multiple years.

This also leads to the issue of why get Robertson. He doesn’t fill a hole here aside from being in the same age range. But then we’re going to run into the same issue over again.

I’d imagine it ends up something similar to what we just did with Fowler if he’s moved.

Friedman said tonight Blues are looking to move him and that he is amenable to it. He expects that it will be for pick(s). Saad likely would be much better fit on a contender, as he tends to look disengaged when on middling team.

Trent Frederic

I suggested this in the Frederic rumor thread and it wasn't that well received by Bruins fans. I'd wanna know if Frederic is willing to talk extension first. Can be hold down the 3c spot or is he better as a winger? We need a solid 3c more than anything else right now.

Blues will need the cap space before his contract expires.
