It's already gone.
Ya the upcoming games against the Blues was my first thought. Had the tweet mentioned just "scouts" that would have essentially been it for me. Just pro scouts doing advanced scouting. But Treliving there does make it more interesting, unless he does more advanced scouting than we think.
Don't forget that Treliving also drove out in a snowstorm to scout Buffalo earlier in the year.
I like this route as well. Find a cheaper stay at home RD who is not a top3D in a vacuum, but can compliment Rielly (ala Schenn).
Cap says no? I feel like we’d need to send some salary back to make it work.
He’d be a great pickup for us, no doubt. Perfect partner for Rielly. Just not sure STL would be looking to send him packing.
Actually that’s why Tre shouldn’t be there, we play them twice anyways, so he will see plenty. The scout should be there, Tre is interesting. Maybe it means he’s watching Buffalo.
This could be the case. A trade with Buffalo would almost certainly fall under the typical buyer/seller deal that occurs around the trade deadline, whereas a transaction with St. Louis might be more of a hockey trade due to the current standings.
This ^ when you hear insiders say “Leafs are willing to trade a 1st rounder, it basically means it’s been offered in trade proposals for weeks maybe months and someone has leaked it. The FRP should be viewed as already gone. Treliving is probably going to move it by the deadline.
They've been on and off talking with the Blues for a while, I think late last year I don't remember when I said it...it was before the Bortuzzo trade though.
