Let me know what you think of this trade. From a Blues perspective I was under the impression that the Blues fans were looking to get rid of Scandella. Blues lose out on Saad but gain cap space for this year and a lot of space when Zucker's contract is done. While Zucker is overpaid by 1.5 or 2 mill he is still a very capable top 9 guy that can slot into the top 6 if need be. I think Zucker would fit better in the Blues system. Since Saad is the much better player I added POJ to even out the value.

From the pens perspective POJ was a Rutherford guy and I am not sure how much Hextall wants to keep him around. I think it would be worth bringing in Saad even at the expense of taking on Scandella. Besides Ruhwedel and Friedman are pretty easy to play with and he will be on the third pair. If Geno does sign around 6 mil there would be enough space (assuming dumo or MP is traded) to add a top six forward. I went with Burakovsky but I would be fine with Trocheck or Rakell. Rakell is probably the cheapest and most realistic. The taxi squad guys including Nylander should all be competing for that last spot either on the third or fourth line.
