Instead of giving the Blues FOUR side pieces they don't want, how about one that they do want?

You're missing this years first rounder, third rounder, and financial compensation for Jarmo picking up the phone and hearing the name Sammy Blais as the centerpiece return for Gavrikov.

Your team is literally deteriorating. You are getting a first and two upper teir prospects, along with two other picks, for a guy who doesnt even want to be on your team. If anything its overpay

Hahaha what??? Did you actually just try to refer to Kravtsov as a "top tier prospect"? Holy jalapeno poppers, brother. And while Jones is a nice prospect, he's also a small offensive-minded LD, which is precisely the kind of LD they already have too many of.

As for deteriorating, let's gain some perspective. As hair-pulling as the Blues have been this season and as absolute ****e as they've been the last 10 days or so, they're still a team that's around .500. Their expectations for the season have deteriorated, no doubt, but I fail to see how that changes the fact that Tarasenko is an elite playoff goal scorer who just got rested up.

Your team is 6 points backs while the teams in front of you have three games in hand. Vitali hasnt and never will get a proper oppurtunity in New York, same with Zach Jones. for Vladi, a guy who is an elite player, a first, two upper teir prospects, because thats what they are, and two other picks is more than fair. I dont see the problem, especially since your team is gonna sell and probably retool. These players and picks give you assets to either trade or utilize to do that.
