Blues proably accept

Not sure what motivation NYI has to trade mayfield

Hold up there, sparky. Not with that retention included they don't.

I'd take it. Holl is probably a slight downgrade from Mayfield for this year, but they're both pending UFAs - the retention isn't really important because they have the cap space, so scoring an extra 3rd rounder and a pretty good prospect in Niemela would be a slam dunk for me. Roll with Grant Hutton next season if Niemela isn't ready and call it a day.

Toronto probably balks at that price for Mayfield, though - at least, they should.

I’m super super high on Knies so that’s why

You traded away all the future and the kitchen sink for 3 UFA'S that will walk next year.

Yeah. With a 2023 1st round pick and Knies included, St. Louis should definitely do that. O'Reilly is only signed through the end of the season and he is playing pretty awful hockey so far this season.

Stop it. Punting seasons is a horrible idea and picking up a prospect who isnt gonna be able to get ice time to thrive isnt either a good idea. Im also not sure why mayfieldds getting moved hes significantly better than holl
