Just give us a 5th

Too much, basing it on bogosian trade. And then just evened out contract in contract out

Hard pass. The Blues have zero use for Gambrell, and despite Chief being a total idiot sitting Bortz early this season, he's still a team leader. I'm sure Berube will pull his head out soon enough.

That fair but I was taking into the fact you added Gambrell

I guess it’s logical. But I don’t see why the Blues would do it. Bortuzzo is one of our 4 RDs in the system that could play at all at the NHL level and the 4th being Kessel is generous.

Just as simple as adding draft picks to the cupboard for expiring UFAs

Depends on where the line between needing to do that is with where a good vet PKer/locker room guy is. I get the premise. I just would imagine the Blues wouldn’t value a 7th all too highly in regards to Bortuzzo. Would see them move on from a LHD before but who knows.
