Tatar to STL

Not without MTL eating some salary

manageable.

It's harder than you think, since Blues don't really have bad contracts to include to a trade...

I'm going to say I'd rather the Habs look elsewhere if they have to retain salary if that's the case. I'd be more interested in a chance at a team with a higher pick. St Louis is poised to have a very late pick this year IMO. I'm perfectly fine retaining up to 50% if necessary but the team needs to be someone I feel confident won't make it past the 1st-2nd round of the playoffs if they are making the playoffs guaranteed. Teams like St Louis, Washington, Boston, etc I'd rather not take their offers unless the piece coming with their 1st is too good to decline.

Agree. although I suggested a 2021 1st instead of a 2020. We never know what next year reserve us. Who would have said that the 1st SJ gave to OTT in the Karlsson would ended up being a top-10 ? Cuz it's likely going to.
