I’d put heavy money down at least one of those three blues players out scores Brady this year. Depending the odds I’d put money on both or all three. No would would I ever give up all three for Brady and changeYou're not getting Tkachuk for peanuts.
No thoughts on the deal, but A++ on the title.
A trade like this would kind of kill the Blues. Especially if Tkachuk is getting an upper end contract. We really can’t trade 3 top 6 forwards and a first for tkachuk
edit. Read it wrong. We aren’t moving a pick in the proposal. However adding more cap with white isn’t really something that’s feasible right now.
Us Blues fans will always fantasize about getting Brady and Matt. But there’s no trade that would be mutually beneficial that would make sense right now considering both tkachuks look to be big pieces of their teams core. We’ll have to see if one of them ever becomes available in free agency
wood, blackwood, wedgewoodhow did you not incorporate Miles Wood into this?!
Then it's just a matter of filling the rest of the lineup with vets playing for the league minimum, and youngsters on their ELC
Why are fans still posting Tkachuk trades ? Ottawa isn't trading him period . Their owner may be a cheap ass but he also made millions by being smart . I am sure he knows he needs some kind of draw to bring fans in and Tkachuk is that .Ottawa out: TB's 2022 2nd, Tkachuk, White
Ottawa in: Kyrou, Thomas, Johnsson
St. Louis out: Kyrou, Thomas, Tarasenko
St. Louis in: TB's 2022 2nd, Tkachuk, Stillman, White
New Jersey out: Stillman, Johnsson
New Jersey in: Tarasenko
Ottawa pick up a pair of talented young forwards just entering their prime, while also clearing White's contract
St. Louis bring home a pair of talented young forwards in Tkachuk and Stillman, while the overpaid White gives them a versatile forward for their bottom 6. They also pick up a late 2nd rd pick in 2022
New Jersey pick up an offensive winger with all-star credentials to play alongside Hughes, while also dumping the remaining 2 years of Johnsson's contract
It's just like all the Parayko to Edmonton threads or X player from Toronto to Toronto threads. HF has an obsession with bringing players home.Why are fans still posting Tkachuk trades ?

the difference isn't Thomas...I'm not the one asking for him. The difference between him and Kyrou simply isn't worth it.

That isn't the recipe to be competitive. The Blues futures is very weak, so you would be filling the team with tweeners and AHL level talent.
You sweet innocent soul.With the exception of Perron and O'Reilly, St. Louis' core is all signed long term, so I'm not sure why preserving cap space would be paramount
I'm thinking Tkachuk would give the Blues a discount, so maybe he signs long term at Tarasenko's 7.5 million cap hit
There is just a fundamental disagreement on Tarasenko's value. Friedman reported that NJ was scared away but his medicals. They clearly don't value him that high, whereas STL still feels like he's a premium asset. If these teams were on the same page a deal would have been done months ago.
Dumping Johnsson would be nice but NJ is not going to give up a 1st or an equivalent asset for a guy whose health they aren't sold on. We signed Tatar for free and have plenty of young, cheap internal forward options like Foote, Mercer, Thompson, and Holtz.
NJ is ready to push for the playoffs, they wouldn't have brought in Hamilton and Graves and Tatar if they weren't, but they're not quite ready to swing for the fences yet. It would be much better for NJ to wait until February and see if they're still in the hunt, and if they are it would be much cheaper to flip some mid picks and a few of their numerous prospects for rentals.
