As much as I want Dunn, I don't see Gorton moving those guys. More of a 1st/B prospect type package. We don't really know how he'll translate from a sheltered role with Pietrangelo to top pair with Trouba.

He didn’t play with Pietrangelo much. Gunnarsson was, when healthy, Petros primary partner. And I understand the hesitation to deal one of the aforementioned prospects, but NYR seem ready to compete and there’s only so many roster slots. Both positions, wing and RHD are positions of depth for NYR too.

If NYR are willing to move Kravstov and a pick, that might get them Dunn.

The "sheltered role" your reference wasn't with Petro. That same "sheltered role" due to the Blues defensive depth has also prevented Dunn from scoring as much as he will once he sees 20+ minutes on the ice. He's an offensive stud waiting for an opportunity to break out. He is absolutely worth one of those two guys and a pick.

Is there a deal to be made without those 2?

I’m sure one could be made, but the Blues have a shallow prospect pool and those would definitely be the most likely players to be involved in the deal.

We have a loaded pool and can outweigh the value difference with more prospects? Are you familiar with our pool in depth?

No but Dunn is going to require good pieces coming back. Blues don’t have any real RHD prospects and could use a scoring winger, hence the interest in Kravtsov and Lundkvist

What about Braden Schneider? We just drafted him #19 Overall. Bruising RHD, physical, puck rusher, good skater, pain the neck to play against.

It’ll take more I think. Dunn could’ve gotten a higher pick than #19 if we moved him at the draft.

Well I do mean as a base. Maybe throw Libor Hajek and a 2nd?

The Blues would want quality over quantity.

Schneider is quality... Do you have mock for us?
