Not a chance Arizona does that.

The Blues are not at all in a position to throw tons of cheap young talent capital and cap space at one winger.

I would much rather have a center but Keller fits the age bracket Army would target

So? Age is not the important factor here. We have loads of wingers, now and in the future. We must address the LD situation and find a new top 6 center. Stat.

They need top end talent at forward along with what you mentioned. There’s no top 6 center available in free agency unless it’s someone on the downside of their career.

I didn't say anything about free agency, but ROR should be available. We have loads of top 6 wingers, it would be unwise to splurge on one when we have other serious problems to do deal with.

ROR isn’t the answer even if he comes back here and the Blues do not have loads of top 6 wings.

Heh. Okay then. So trade for one. Or win the lottery and select Berard or Fantilli.... easy.

Buch
Kyrou
Saad
Schenn, preferably
Neighbours
Snuggs
Bolduc
Robertsson

Considering contract terms/expected NHL arrivals, that's a lot of solid wing strength. It would obviously be ill-advised to spend so much capital on a winger right now when two other positions need major help. Something major has to be done with the LDs or we are not going anywhere. And we don;t just need a top 6 C, we need a top 6C and a checking 3/4C (which could be solved nicely by bringing back Acciari).

Schenn is not a good center. He doesn’t have the wheels to play a 200 feet game and his vision and passing are below average at best.

We all know the D needs revamped

Agreed. Id even look into moving Saad if theres interest. Maybe in that scenario you add a younger, better winger (Saad isnt exactly a strong play driver or play makers for a top 6 role imo) but probably better off getting a 2c and moving Schen to wing or 3rd line center. We have alot of wing depth. Fix the D, get a 2c is my vote... but who?
