Rangers want Kostin

Not enough

Debatable.

Not gonna happen. Army explicitly said so. Vladdy will be back soon enough.

Do you have a link or something that says that? Just curious.

It’s not gonna happen unless Vladdy has a setback in the next week

If STL were to do this, the team would have to add a prospect. De La Rose at this point is more of simply a contract going back for cap compliance sake. I think considering Tyler Madden went back in the Toffoli trade, you would have to add Kyrou to make it interesting. Otherwise, I think teams like the Bruins and Avalanche can outbid you by adding solid prospects.

Could be even more; instead of De La Rose you might give up Barbashev or Sanford just to get on other teams' playing field. Really hard to tell at this point how it will go.

It's actually very easy to tell: nothing is going to happen.

It's about halfway (give or take) through this presser. Vladdy is making great progress and it's hinted that he will be back before the regular season ends, if not earlier than originally expected.

I mean, likely yes, but you never know until it's over.

Okay. Nothing is going to happen unless there's an unforeseen emergency. As Army clearly stated.

Dude chill Mr.Know-It-All

Congrats you can read quotes.

Where do you imagine I'm getting excited? And it's really not hard to understand the situation here, it's quite cut and dry.

De La Who? i would hope the Rangers could do much better than this for Kreider.

The issue is the Blues have to be cap compliant like Army explained. If they made a deal for Kreider, even with 50% retained, and Tarasenko returns before the playoffs, they have to be compliant on that day. The only way the Blues get Kreider or anyone substantial is a hockey trade, players with cap going out, players with cap coming in.

Deadline Cap Space.
