Will note here that I don't think it is likely the Blues look in this direction; a player like Chiarot is much more in scope.

The Blues are desperate to find someone that can help Parayko regain the magic from the 2018-19 cup run -- to this point there hasn't been another player that has been able to stick like Bouwmeester did. Mikkola is showing promise but the results have been very uneven.

Replace Bolduc with Neighbors, remove the 2nd and 3rd and its probably fair

I considered Neighbours but I don't think DA is willing to trade him, just a hunch.

Not Chairot lol

I think you have captured the value pretty well. Yotes might find a better deal or they may hang onto Chych, but this is probably the max the Blues would put on the table.

Maybe, maybe not. I'm reminded of the Scandella trade from a few seasons back; a Chiarot deal would have a similar look and feel. I'd expect price to be similar as well, a 2nd and 4th sounds right.

Then just remove the 2 picks like I said, I think Zona would be fine with either of Bolduc or Neighbors

That’s 100 percent fair to put neighbors but he looks like one of those guys whose gonna be really import to be on an elc for cup runs in a couple years

I get that, my team has that view with Pelletier right now

What about Zary or is he more Bolduc level

Hard to say for Zary, he started this season on IR then when he came back most of Stocktons lines were already set so he got shoehorned into the bottom 6. He's had to force his way up the lineup since then (Ruzicka getting called up helped) and has only started producing recently. I'm still high on him on Zary but Pelletier is pretty clearly dominating the AHL at this point

That sucks I always like his game hopefully he finds his footing

I mean its no shots at Zary, he has something like 8 points in the last 10 games. It's more like Pelletier has just established himself as a top ~15 prospect across the league

"Scandella is negative value"

Uhh, no he is not. And this trade is an easy hard pass. This is essentially 4 1sts in value you want. Not happening.
