Value of: Scandella

[Celtic Note]

Is there a team that would be interested in acquiring him?

The Blues really need to get a better shutdown guy on the left side or better yet a two-way guy. Scandella’s contract gets in the way of doing that with our cap situation.

Presumably, Tarasenko is the guy moved to acquire that player.

I would guess these are off-season moves.

Scandella has a 7 team no trade list and makes $3.275M for the next two seasons following this one.

I am interested in hearing valuations and potential trade ideas.

So he's more of a 3rd pair guy now?
What's his last 80 games or so look like?

EDIT - nvm, that contract is too much for FLA. That extra year is a deterrent.

I think it will be tricky to match a team that needs him and one that can afford him. He could be a #4 D in the right environment. With the construction of the Blues, he should be a 3rd pairing LHD. But our roster construction is a bit of a mess with a lot of odd ducks that only fit together in limited ways.

Your 1st + a solid prospect/2nd + Scandella

For

Chiarot retained to Scandellas salary (maybe more if we can afford to capwise)

Seems like the Habs are gonna rebuild, I'd say take him back then flip next deadline at 50% For 2 playoff runs to another team.

if you get that haul for chariot you could flip scandella before the trade deadline to . not getting that though

I'd rather have Edmundson back than have Chiarot.

This is mainly because I just don't like Chiarot. So other Blues fans may have a difference in opinion than me.

Neither Edmundson, nor Chiarot are solutions for the Blues.

Anyone want Scandella? You can have him. Just name what you want to pay.

Don’t get the hate. He is perfectly fine when he ain’t stapled to Parayko.

Mikkola and Perunovich have been better. Plus removing Scandella gives the Blues cap space that can use for the trade deadline.

To acquire another defenseman. Mikkola has a couple decent games and everyone wants to pencil him in top 4. Let’s see if he has really figured out how to make simple passes before we bank on him. Peru is exciting but has been super sheltered.

I don’t think we know what our d is at this point. We have some key guys who haven’t played up to expectations and some younger guys who haven’t really established themselves to know what we can expect. I’d say Faulk and Borts are only 2 guys on d who have played to expectations that we can count on (assuming Faulk comes back from Covid no worse for wear).

I’m not saying Scandella is untouchable. I’d obviously deal him if someone offered enough. But my worry is if you deal him you are looking to acquire someone like chiarot who isn’t really much better, because you just created big hole on d.

Every defensemen we have has outplayed Scandella. Over the part 15 games there have been multiple instances where Scandella has botched a basic pass or basic defensive play that resulted in a goal against or close to. While trading Scandella does open a small hole, we have enough pieces to fill that hole after he's traded. Plus, cap hit is sorely needed currently. Remember the Blues have been forced to pay short 18 men the past two games. Trading Scandella would help the Blues combat any future Covid/injury issues by allowing the Blues to call up players when needed.

Scandella is a near negative asset in my opinion. Out of Scandella, Parayko, Faulk, Krug, Mikkola, Walman, Perunovich, and Bortuzzo.....Scandella is easily the worst.

He's worth a league minimum contract at most and he's fine as 7th-8th d-man if you don't have any other options.

Maybe he'd have some minimum value to a rebuilding team that wants to add a veteran presence on the ice and isn't worried about the salary cap right now.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he cleared waivers though.

You should try waivers before you attach an asset to move him. Maybe a team like Buffalo or Arizona bites.

Buffalo has been down the Scandella road before. I doubt they nibble on that stale bit of toast again, even with a different regime in place.

Scandella isn't as bad as some Blues fans make him out to be, he's just the designated whipping boy now that Sanford is gone and Krug is playing better than last year. There is 0 chance they will be giving him away or attaching an asset to move him.

 

[One Winged Angel]

The Rangers will give you Nemeth for him. It’s a little bit of cap relief.

Scandella and a 4th for Zadorov and 3rds in both years if you retain 400K?

I like Meyers more than most (maybe I just haven't seen enuff of him) but there's no way we could afford Meyers nor would I have any interest in attaching Sunny to trade him

like someone said before.. he's not nearly as bad as some blues fans make it sound. there's teams out there that NEED LHD that should be interested in him at some point

Isn't he a much worse version of Scandella?

Maybe Myers straight up for Scandella if Canucks retain difference in salary. No way Blues would pay Sunny to be stuck with Myers terrible contract.

Myers 1m retained for Scandella.
