I am curious as to who you think would be trading for him before expansion. What teams have a need at LD and have a spot to protect him? I can't think of any off the top of my head but I am sure there are a few, just curious because I have seen the comment "that there are multiple teams interested" but haven't seen him in many other AGMs.
Well, first off, it wasn't me who said "multiple teams are interested" in any definitive manor, so I cannot really answer to that one.
Now... not that it makes anything official, but based on AGMs on this site, it seems to me the teams with fans that most often and most eagerly attempt trades for Dunn are (in no particular order) DET, VAN, MTL, BUFF, BOS, NJ and quite foolishly, CHI. Also used to see a lot of NYR and WPG, but those fans seem to have thought better of it by now. Obviously, some of these fan bases are more realistic than others, because a team like Boston has no room to protect him.
As for my view, I'd think the most likely tire-kickers that fit your description are (again, random order) DET, LA, NJ, BUFF, OTT, CLB, and my dark horse pick if OEL departs, ARIZ. Maybe a couple others who might get involved, depending on how they go with the protection lists and early trades.
Long story short: he'll have some suitors if the Blues open a market on him. Personally, I'd rather see what we could get for Krug.
