Huge Moves

On value, the Blues definitely consider this and probably even take it. The problem is, they don't have the cap to do this at this time.

Swapping Tkachuk for Pastrnak is the definition of looking for greener grass. It really doesn't make any sense, especially since Chucky will probably be named captain and Pasta is a pending UFA that we would have to negotiate an extension with. I also don't think that is nearly a good enough return from St. Louis.

Kadri isn't signing for less than 8M and he already nixed a trade to Calgary once so I doubt he would sign with the Flames now. I would rather just bank on Monahan coming back healthy the same way Tarasenko did.

Chychrun offer is probably decent value wise but Arizona would likely prefer more futures than current NHL players

This is a 20 man roster with no cap space, you will need at least 22 players

Yeah, but I think that if you make this trade a 3-way with a team that is ready to take on Scandella's contract and Calgary giving them a late maybe we can manage something by doing other trades.

Bruins decline. Too little value.

Okay well, then we'd be short two LDs, and that's the position of real need. I think we have to hope he makes it to UFA.
