This whole glut of moves is terrible for the Blues.
That is a horrible price to pay to dump Krug if you’re retaining 2m.
He’s not been great. But he’s our only defenseman that is capable of providing offense or springing our forwards who seem to play off the rush now.
I like Hanifin. But adding him at the cost of Krug, 24 2nd, 25 2nd, And Tarasenko, and 2m in cap for the remainder of Krugs contract would be devastating.
We’re better off taking BPA with our pick and taking a shot on one of the d men who will probably be available later in the draft to mould while we ride out some years on Krug, Saad, Leddy, Scandella and Binner. Those players should be much more movable at that point and hopefully by that stage Neighbors is an every day contributor as a middle 6er, Schenn can be pushed down to the 3rd line and Thomas and Kyrou have had enough time to remove some of their mistakes in their game. Not sure what happens to Parayko in that time frame.
