Penguins defer that 2nd and get an extra 3rd and only have to give up a 5th in 2026. Weird but somewhat understandable to me. Guessing the Blues really wanted their own 2nd back or just have a 2nd in 2025.

 

[CanadienShark]

Uhmmm... What?

 

[JEI]

I'm assuming STL didn't have a 2nd rounder next year and figured they'd get ahead of acquiring one? Pittsburgh probably has a few picks stockpiled I'm guessing.

Offer sheet potential if it's their own pick? I dunno.

 

[LOFIN]

This is certainly one of the trades of all time

St. Louis needed their 2nd back from the Hayes deal to make the offer sheets they just announced.

 

[hockeykicker]

Well they did just probably use the picks on the offer sheets

 

[CDN24]

That pick (2025-2nd rounder going to Stl) is St louis pick originally. they need it back- offer sheet incoming

Edit and there it is 2 of them

In fact they are re-acquiring their own 2nd round pick in this trade

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

And Drury couldn't do this?

Oh yeah, because he traded away most of our picks and he sucks pond water.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Absolute rockstar mode from the Blues. Love it.

 

[Sike Mullivan]

Trades are unreal.

 

[OtherThingsILike]

The cool thing is that the 3rd the Penguins got in this trade was Ottawa's 3rd and not St. Louis'.

He literally couldn't because St Louis needed their own pick back.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

lmao

bye bye broberg

 

[eXile3]

Pens looking for some picks in 2030 if you have them.

 

[ToDavid]

That's a wild offer for Broberg. He's definitely gone.

Holloway offer feels like something the Oilers will match, but I'm not super informed on him.

 

[Benstheman]

Habs trade you all their 2030's draft picks for Crosby

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

So, one of those picks use to belong to the blues ?
