Would rather take 8ova for dunn kostin to get sanderson if availableEdmonton really could use a D that understands transitional play. I’d do 14ov for Dunn+
What could the Blues add? We could use a scoring winger prospect

Question isn’t whether every team would want him. Rather is there any team that would? Would Ottawa (whose coaches know him) feel like he would be good vet to mentor kids and help take next step? Would Buffalo feel like he could help with culture change and be bridge until their young centers are ready? Devils also may see him in similar light. I don’t expect to get much, but do think he has real value a handful of teams who would be able to acquire him for very little.
Blues would take this and run! The salary of the backup goalie could be a factor, though.As a Habs fan who loves Dunn I would be willing to do our first round pick #16 + one of our backup goalie not named Primeau for Dunn + Allen.
Keep in mind Bozak also has a modified NTC. I have also read that he and his wife really like it in St. Louis. This makes it even more difficult to move him.I mean, it's 100% a given that not every team would want him. The point isn't "Well, all we need is ONE team to want him", but rather if there are two or three teams out there who would be willing to add salary, there's probably 15 or 20 that are wanting to shed some. So in any other year when the cap is going up, he's way easier to move. But now, there's gonna be better options out there, cheaper options out there. Unlike with Allen, where goalies out there are few and far between, there's a surplus of guys like Bozak out there and teams wanting to unload them. Non-Blues fans have been pretty clear about the likelihood of us unloading his salary, and I agree with them.
No. The Blues need to lose salary, not add it. The whole idea was Dunn as a sweetener for someone to take Allen. Adding Drouin's salary. or Domi's upcoming one, would be counter-productive.Dunn for Drouin or Domi as a base?

As tempting as the 8OA is, we are going to need the ELC's of Kostin and Kyrou, especially as Schwartz and Thomas need new contracts next year. I highly doubt Buffalo trades the 8OA anyway.Another thread had 8ova for dunn and a young prospect forward like kostin.
I think kostin and dunn are worth more but dunn and another prospect not kyrou or kostin could be worth it especially if we can draft jake sanderson. What are your thoughts

I have read nothing but good things about him. I admit I haven't actually watched him yet. A minor concern is he is a LD. We are kind of logjammed at that position right now. Having said that, if we ever had the opportunity to draft him, we do it! I just doubt any other team in a position to draft him gives that up.I heard a lotta good things about kake sanderson. They are saying he could be ready out of the gate. Big 6'4 skates extremely well. Even a rough guy. Any way. I def wouldn't lose kostin or kyrou but andronov, I would part with to get jake.
Just curious to what you have heard of sanderson.

So dunn and nikita Alexandrov For 8ova with jake sanderson still on board8oa isn't moving for something that isn't a young center.

Bozak dunn 8thoverallOttawa would consider Bozak.
In a recent thread Ottawa and Buffalo fans agreed in principle to a Tierney for Montour trade. What if that was expanded to get Dunn to Buffalo (they need LD) and Bozak to Ottawa as a veteran C replacement for Tierney.
Buffalo — > Tierney and Dunn
Ottawa —> Bozak (NTC) and Montour
STL —> ??????
Would AP sign for only 5 years though? Id expect that AAV of $8.5-9 milly you proposed to be accurate but on a 7-8 year deal. He'd be smart to lock up term and security vs chasing a shorter term deal when he might not command a 2-3 year deal at 35-36, because of age and decline.
I could see Dunn (without Bozak) for 8OA as a draft floor deal if Sanderson is on the board for the Blues to pick.Bozak dunn 8thoverall
I think that would clear 3+ mil. They say sanderson is the closest dman to nhl ready. I would do itI could see Dunn (without Bozak) for 8OA as a draft floor deal if Sanderson is on the board for the Blues to pick.
I imagine it will be largely irrelevent. Allen isn't a player that we'll find it overly difficult to move.Question for Blues fans: if a team was willing to take on Allen's contract, how important would that be in aquiring Dunn?
It seems like a window of opportunity for Montreal if that's what's required.
As a Habs fan who loves Dunn I would be willing to do our first round pick #16 + one of our backup goalie not named Primeau for Dunn + Allen.

I pass on that as a Habs fan. Rather trade the Blues 2nd and two 4th's for Leddy who has 2 more years left and a good bridge to Romanov, Norlinder, Harris, Struble.
Interested in Dunn/Allen but my top offer is the Blues 2nd, Habs 3rd, Mete, and B- type prospects in Olofsson or Ikonen. If another team trumps that, I let them. I think we need to be careful with how Dunn looks on the Habs vs the cup contender in the Blues. He's a very good young piece but I'm not using our 16th pick on him.
Blues will look to make moves on draft day so they are free to lock up Pietrangelo. How many teams will be willing to make that move for Dunn/Allen on draft day? Not sure but the Habs certainly can help them out. If that don't work, I move to other options
This would end up costing the Blues more in cap hit than just resigning Dunn. If the Blues are moving Dunn its to free up cap space for AP. If they are adding cap hit and getting worse on defense it doesn't really make sense for the Blues.From a habs fan... what would you guys want in exchange for him?
2nd+Fleury+Byron ?
