Would be a good trade for the Nucks as they dont have to give up a first and I bet Vlad would thrive for some reason. I like getting Dahlen as he has potential to be a top 6 forward. Is Olli going to be a bust or a good D player? Too much risk for the Blues and they have to get a 1st back for Tara. How about a 2019 1st rd pick, a 2020 3rd rd pick, Jake Virtanen and Olli J or Dahlen for Vlad and Schmaltz?

On another side note, Jim Benning is a terrible GM, though not as bad as Cherilli. I think he would make a trade that would hurt the Nucks unfortunately.( i.e overpaying for Vlad)

I agree .... would be hard for the Blues to not get a 1st. You could either go with a 2020 1st or Virtanen instead of Goldobin ... with the draft being in VAN this year they won't give up 2019 1st - or I'd like to hope our GM (duh) wouldn't

Ahh, good point on the draft being in Van. You would hope Benning would keep the 2019 1st pick to satisfy the fanbase. I will be happy to take a pick in 2020 then, because if the Blues continue to tank, and miss the playoffs like it is going now, I believe they will get there 1st rd pick back from Buffalo...? I believe that is the case.

It wouuld be hard for Army justifying this one. He would get fired on the spot. We need something good probably like Boeser type of talent would be the want, but satisfied with a 1st that is unprotected with other pieces maybe Woo or Hughes.
