Dillon+LaBanc for Hofer+1st+?
Dude?! Just no.Dillon+LaBanc for Hofer+1st+?
Dude?! Just no.
1. Hofer isn’t going anywhere without a huge overpayment. He’s the type of prospect you don’t give up on, and if you’re selling high on him, you had better be winning the trade. By a lot.
2. There is absolutely no way Army is trading our 1st when Dillon or Labanc is the best player coming back.
If the price for Dillon is more than a 2nd and a prospect like Walman or Reinke then we’ll look elsewhere or fill the LD hole internally.
Too much for me.
I’d rather keep it simple and just go for Dillon. I don’t think LaBanc adds anything we don’t already have.
That’s horrible for SJ and STL.Dillon+LaBanc for Hofer+1st+?
No thanks, Andy Greene was available for those prices. I like Pernuovich though. Would be perfect for our bottom pair next year2nd + Reinke for Dillon?

That’s fair, but the deals gonna have to be better than a super late second and an AHL playerI wouldn’t do Perunovich straight up for him.
Why? He’s been a 3rd pairing D for most of his career. A good one I acknowledge. A 2nd to rent him seems generous.That’s fair, but the deals gonna have to be better than a super late second and an AHL player

Perhaps. But Blues have shallow prospect pool and likely can’t afford these prices.Sometimes the deadline deals are generous. In this case it’s gonna be
You guys have some pretty decent guys. Not any top tier talent but Dillon isnt going to net a first line prospect anyday of the weekPerhaps. But Blues have shallow prospect pool and likely can’t afford these prices.
We have a couple nice prospects but not many. And since we are going to be tight to cap need to keep producing guys who can play on ELC.You guys have some pretty decent guys. Not any top tier talent but Dillon isnt going to net a first line prospect anyday of the week
Fair enough, guess its up to your management to get whoever they are gonna get. If your having trouble on the pk and want physicality Dillon is your man though.We have a couple nice prospects but not many. And since we are going to be tight to cap need to keep producing guys who can play on ELC.
To me none of these rentals this year are true difference makers to me. Nice players who most teams would like to have, but at what price? If Blues play their A game we are darn good and don’t really need guy like Dillon. If Blues play like we have last several weeks, Dillon ain’t gonna be near enough to win even 1 series.
He’s been in the top 4 the last 2 years and hasn’t looked out of placeWhy? He’s been a 3rd pairing D for most of his career. A good one I acknowledge. A 2nd to rent him seems generous.
So far we have heard Florida,Toronto,Winnipeg,Carolina,St Louis,Vegas. Calgary and Edmonton are new but maybes. Thats a decent list of teamsWhat's the market for Dillon? What teams are looking for a physical defensive 4/5 LHD?
I've heard Vegas is looking to improve their blueline, not sure if Dillon would be a good fit for them (not even taking into account the rivalry between teams, which doesn't help the chances). Florida maybe if they aren't sellers? Possibly Edmonton if Russell is out longer term? Winnipeg would be a good fit, but doubt they are buyers. Calgary is a possibility with their injuries, but Hamonic will be back soon, and Gio should be back before the playoffs. Columbus could be a good fit, but I can't see them spending a lot after their TDL last season.
Probably missing some teams, I don't know just spitballing. Not a knock on the player, but I just don't see a particularly strong market for Dillon. He clearly loves San Jose, maybe just re-signing him is the best move.
I would. In a heartbeat. Our AHL affiliate situation is up in the air, and I really doubt Perunovich is going to make the jump straight from college to the NHL. At least not on the St. Louis Blues. If Perunovich doesn't have an AHL home that is to his liking, he could opt for Free Agency this summer.I wouldn’t do Perunovich straight up for him.

This fear is overstated. We will have an AHL team. There are 31 NHL teams and 31 AHL teams. We may not like who we get but we won't be left without.I would. In a heartbeat.
