I think of it this way: STL couldn't keep Karlsson and Pietrangelo on their next contracts. So we'd lose Parayko and Kyrou in a trade, then lose Pietrangelo to free agency, then have $12m Erik Karlsson instead of 3 core pieces. Or otherwise put, next year Karlsson will make the same amount of money that the Blues will pay Pietrangelo + Parayko combined. I'd rather have the 49ish minutes that those two can play per night than the 27 min of EK. He's an elite talent but I don't really see a fit with STL.
I'd take that Hoffman-Fabbri deal for sure. OTT is assuming a lot of risk even with the conditions on the pick. Blues could really use a guy like Hoffman to help spread out the scoring.
