Drouin's just off limits. The only way I could see this happening is with our main outgoing piece being Bishop (our Team MVP), so there would have to be a third party involved.

I remember last winter being outraged at the mere thought of Shattenkirk for Drouin. Now it's equally unlikely, but in the opposite direction

If we were to acquire Shattenkirk, Garrison would likely have to move. It hurts me right in the soul to say that. That said, it wouldn't have to be in this deal. Garrison should still have a fair bit of value. He's the unquestioned #3 on a ECF team. (I guess it would make sense for him to go to Dallas then?)
The main piece TB would be moving is Bishop, who'd be going to Dallas. So the main piece(s) going to STL would be coming from Dallas. I think (emphasis on "think") they'd be willing to part with Nichushkin in order to get Bishop, but I'm not sure if STL would be interested in him. I don't think TB would have an issue sending Namestnikov to STL to sweeten the pot, since we have a couple of minor league centers who might be capable of playing 3C in the event that we move Filppula.
I really think between these three teams, we have the pieces to get something done. I hate the idea of moving Ben Bishop, but it seems like that's the direction the team is going.

I was under the impression Koekkoek wouldn't require protecting? My expansion draft IQ is low though, so you might be right. If that's the case though, it's not like we couldn't move KK for assets if need be, and expose somebody else.
Again, we're gonna lose somebody either way. I think it's a mistake to try to make sure your team isn't "too good" just so you don't lose a piece of it.
Blues get a project winger, a middle 6 center, and likely mid-round picks, seems like a lot of meh in return for Shattenkirk.
The Blues already have a struggling big body winger in Jaskin, though Nichushkin has a bit more potential than him.
I think that dealing directly with Tampa would benefit the Blues more as they have more intriguing pieces than Dallas does.

Drouin alone is not worth a signed Shattenkirk. Drouin with a big fat minus in Filppula is nowhere near Shattenkirk-value unless you're including some first round pick(s) with him. Drouin, while great, is another LW - and we have too many already. If we're going down this path, I'd rather just get Svechnikov+ from DET and not have to take on Filppula.

[STL/TBL] Kevin Shattenkirk&2017 5th round (BUF) for Valtteri Filppula&2017 2nd round pick
Could this be IRL trade for with these teams? This would easily help both teams in short term.
I think TBL can fill Filppula's hole easily and maybe are relief about somebody could take his salary pointing next year there will be couple big raises for TBL players.
Blues gets some addition to their center spot, I know Filppula isn't the greatest one, another 3rd liner who could take some relief from Stastny (harderst opponent etc.)
That said Blues could compensate even more and throw to TBL roster Sobotka's rights and he could fill FIlppula's hole and then TBL could add 2nd round pick (BOS)/unproven forward prospect.
I didn't view about could TBL resign Shattery next year or Filppula in 2-years, but in short term deal could this be potential one? Apple to Apple like Doug Armstrong speaks and maybe is looking for this point.
PS. I already know I'll get bashed down from my Blues members, but
edit. Changed right year for picks.
holy crap... sorry proposal isnt worth a more wordy response

At the deadline, dude isn't gonna have a huge amount of value if he makes it clear he's not sticking around.
But if you wanna give up a first round pick and a really good prospect, be my guest.

They're not trading for a signed Shattenkirk, are they? They're trading for a UFA Shattenkirk. So your little theory is silly. It's also wrong. I'll take Drouin over Shatty.

I would be too ! If this would be possible.......i would be all for it, & i don't see it as being to lopsided to one team or, the other .
If Shatty is worth way more than Filppula, why wouldn't Yzerman do it?
he could flip Shatty for a boatload of futures and rid himself of Filppula's contract.
Bang bang.
Cap Room Blues can't afford to trade one player and take 4 or 5 guys?? Filppula is 5 million alone
Have to remember cap space and Blues only have 2 to 3 m available.

Why do people think Shatty will be so cheap? Teams are always desperate for defense at the deadline. He will return better than a 2+ then let alone if he's traded before the season starts. I doubt he gets traded anyways. They will probably keep him for another run then let him walk.

Yzerman would easily do a Shattenkirk for Filppula swap.
But i seriously doubt that Armstrong would, He can get a much better deal then just adding Filppula for Shattenkirk. Pretty sure that Boston will be a major contender for Shattenkirk around Training Camp time.
Even if Yzerman could move 2 years of Filppula for 1 year of Shattenkirk Tampa is in win now mode then Yzerman would be a genius.

Shattenkirk has one full season left on his contract, they wouldn't be trading for an UFA. Players with one full year on their contracts usually get a pretty decent return, BUT, it is almost always futures whether picks, prospects or a combination of the two, or with bottom half of the lineup players thrown in. Trade after trade that is the way it has been for quite a while and I can't think of any trades off hand that a player with one year left on his deal returned a top half of the lineup player who was a top half player at the time. There may have been some of those recently, I just can't think of any.

No way Yzerman can't afford to give Shattenkirk 7x7 that he will be seeking, Even if Yzerman can move Bishop and Filppula Kucherov will get big money Johnson, Palat, Drouin all will be getting hefty raises here. No way can Tampa afford Shattenkirk. Drouin just isn't available.

So St Louis pretty much gets the pick of the litter between, Nichushkin, Peca/Namestnikov/Filppula/Garrison+Picks why do i have a feeling that St Louis gets the royal shaft here. Doubt St Louis needs to add any more Blueliners. Filppula isn't much of an upgrade for St Louis. Doubt Army has any interest in Nichushkin.
