Blues are losing here. Trading Pietrangelo and Schenn for Nylander who's having the worst year of his career, an overpaid 3rd pair D, an AHL d-man and two seconds.

Not even close enough.

Most likely you have to include either Sandin or Liljegren in that trade, and a first.

Why not just trade Nylander for Anderson and Nutivaara?

Zaitzev is better than a 3rd pair Dman, he is just being buried with his usage by babs. I think Dermott-Zaitzev will be good to see more of (he has looked like the player from his first year again on this pair) and Muzzin will help take off some of the pressure. He has a 41% Ozone start and some other stupid numbers that mean he is absolutely buried in the Leafs end. Getting any relief on that can only help.
That being said he is overpaid.

While I like the roster for now.....your trade values are off a bit with STL....probably need to add someone else. BUT the worst part is you will be in cap hell next year with all of the RFA's to sign
