Rumor: Kevin Hayes to St. Louis gaining steam - rumored to be 'huge' deal involving many players

[Mike Liut]

I’m scared

 

[MOGlLNY]

Hum now Danny, hum now

 

[BlueDream]

My sources are telling me the Blues are trading their entire roster and farm system to Philadelphia in exchange for the Flyers’ entire roster and farm system.

This is gonna be one of those thread where everything is “imminent” for like a week isn’t it?

I hope not. But it's only been ongoing for a couple hours. So you never know

John Tortorella to St Louis for John Kelly

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Krug's buyout in two years isn't horrible if he's complete deadweight by then but he's got a 6.5m x 4 deal with a NTC / M-NTC the last two years.

I am, but it's honestly just to feel awful about humanity in general. Not so much about hockey

 

[PerryTurnbullfan]

Do you have another Sutter we can give up a top prospect for?

 

[GKJ]

The Blues writers are throwing out too many names for it to go into tomorrow. Those guys are rock solid, too.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

3rd line. You're not winning a Cup with Hayes as your 2nd line center

Cbus wouldn’t be winning a cup if he’s there 3C either. Doesn’t mean he’s not capable as a 2C

 

[Jozay]

Nah, Kapanen has value in that his contract is reasonable. And if he plays well they’ll either extend him or trade at TDL if team is bad. Similar to Vrana.

Nah

 

[Rebel247]

Need cap space for what? The difference between 30-50% is like 1.5m. That’s a negligible difference for the Flyers immediate goals.

Doesn’t he have three years left on his contract? I’m thinking that 1.5 million in savings for the next three years is worth more than going from a fifth round pick to a third or fourth round pick.
Is my thinking flawed? Honestly I’m happy just to move him to open a spot.

John Tortorella to St Louis for John Kelly

Hard pass

Krug?

The Flyers aren’t going to be competitive so they don’t need to be stingy on cap retention

It can’t include Gritty or deal is off.

[Doug Prishpreed]

Krug?

Why would this player waive to go to a rebuilding team?

 

[Vukotal Recall]

Gritty for Binnington? Same number of (I.Q.) points.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Why would this player waive to go to a rebuilding team?

I imagine the flyers would then flip thar player.

 

[BlueDream]

Krug?

I feel like it has to be Krug. He’s the worst contract on St. Louis and I’m not sure how the Blues are taking on Hayes + more (since it seems like other Philly players are involved) without moving Krug.

 

[The Madrigal]

Krug?

Schenn, Buchnevich, Saad, and the entire Blues defense have NTC's.

 

[TheOrganist]

Krug?

Hopefully. I’m sure Army was super motivated to move him even though convention wisdom was that the way his contract was structured made him untradeable. Doug “I don’t give out NMC’s” better put the screws to Krug and his agent.
