There are a couple reasons I don’t think McDonaugh to STL works. 1) the cap issues then shift strictly to the Blues, “moving Scandella somewhere else,” is not a simple task. 2) 4 more years at $6.75M is gonna put the Blues in long-term cap issues, especially with 3 of Thomas, Kyrou, ROR and Tarasenko receiving contracts. 3) Log jam at LD, cannot move Krug with a NTC until 3 years from now, and Perunovich will wiggle his way into the Top 4 within 1-2 years. 4) The Blues can use Barbashev to find a cheaper alternative that is younger and offers cap control for the future (ie Soucy, Graves, etc.). 5) if the Blues are gonna approach a LD with term and high cap hit, it will be someone like Provorov, I’d rather give more to receive a younger defenseman.
