Proposal: Chychrun to St. Louis

[rt]

To STL:
Jakob Chychrun

To ARI:
Marco Scandella
Klim Kostin
Jake Neighbours
**Conditional 1st

**St. Louis gets to choose whether it’s a 2022 or 2023 1st, once the playoffs are over.

Spoiler: Long-winded Justification

For the record, I expect 3/4 of Yotes fans to decline this. And I’m not sure I’d accept. I think Chychrun is worth more than this.

My thinking here is that if he must be dealt for some mysterious and stupid reason, and it can’t wait beyond this deadline, what might be a good fit?

Bill Armstrong and Doug Armstrong have a great relationship. Bill left the Blues just weeks before the Neighbours draft, and likely had a huge influence on the pick. He was also the top dog in the scouting department when Kostin was selected.

Meanwhile Scandella has made himself fairly expendable and is signed for two more seasons. Chychrun is a MAJOR upgrade, with only a minor bump in aav. Chychrun is the same age as Kyrou and Thomas and fits with that future core. Yet, he’s a major piece for right now that can help while the ROR, Tank, Saad, Krug, Faulk (all are 30 years old) window is open. It’s a rare opportunity for a team like STL to bolster both the present and the future in one move.

For Arizona, I’m looking at this from the perspective of a culture changing deal. Adding guys like Neighbors and Kostin, so AZ can focus more on pure skill at the draft table. They need roster players for next season, too. They’ve got nobody signed. Neighbours and Kostin are both NHL-ready for next season.

fair offer, maybe AZ adds a B+ F prospect as they are getting 2 key young Fs from StL

Funny, I was thinking STL needed to add a little something.

 

[Alluckks]

I get it, but I just don't think St. Louis would do it

ROR, Tank, Schenn, Saad, Faulk and Krug are all 30 years old. Binnington and Parayko are 28.

If they want another Cup, they only have 2-3 years to do it. Kyrou and Thomas have 2 more years to RFA. They have 2 years to win it, then they have to tear it down and build around Kyrou, Thomas, and Chcyhrun who are all 23 years old.

As a blues fan we are underpaying. You should ask for more than Kostin. Remove Kostin, add Perunavich and a second.

Chychrun for Neighbors, Perunavich, 1st, 2nd seems more fair. (also Scandella)

yeah, I'd like to keep at least one of Neighbors/Kostin, as that's the type of player (think PF) STL needs

 

[bleedblue1223]

I'd do it.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

This is not great for AZ. Kostin is quite meh.

From a Flames POV, I would do Hanifin +

 

[CaliforniaBlues310]

Swap Neighbours for Perunovich and we have ourselves a deal.

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

Add Perunovich. Take out Kostin.

?

 

[BleedBlue14]

Yes, I’d even be ok with slightly adding to get it done as soon as possible. We sorely lack a partner for Parayko or at least an all situations LD

 

[Linkens Mastery]

As a Blues fan I'd do any of

Neighbors, Kostin, 1st, Scandella
Neighbors, Perunovich, 1st, Scandella
Bolduc, Kostin, 1st, Scandella
Bolduc, Perunovich, 1st, Scandella

You need to add more

Scandella is a cap dump of lityke value in this trade

kastin is a dime a dozen meh player.

you want someone like Chychrun you actually need to given up something you don’t want to.

 

[drw02]

Seems light, I'd hope Detroit gets in the mix if that's all Yotes are looking for

I’m a Yotes fan.

Add Hofer?

 

[rt]

Add Perunovich. Take out Kostin.

?

I personally prefer Kostin to Perunovich.

Haha. Swap out Chychrun for Gostisbehere in that case. It would be closer to correct value.

That works for me.

 

[Roof Daddy]

Oil fan who’d offer Barrie + 1st + Broberg. I’d have to think that’s better than the Blues package.

 

[Heldig]

No, Neighbours is the one must have piece.

you do realize that's an AZ fan with that proposal, right?

 

[Heldig]

Barrie is a cap dump to the Coyotes. Need to add a young roster player or good prospect (Lavoie?).

He's a Yotes fan, and you don't always have to give up something you don't want to, but Neighbours would fit that bill.

Fair.
