VGK counters Lehner and a 4 so Vancouver can just go deeper in LTIR. Why the F*** would they help Vancouver someone they clearly could meet in the playoffs for basically nothing a lottery ticket in a 4th round pick?

Fair point, the Vegas component clearly wasn't the important part of the trade.

I would definitely take that, and they are currently in a re-tool.

Course they’d take that, Lekkerimaki will probably be better than Kyrou in a year. Maybe do this for Thomas but no way he’s on the block and his comp is probably Petey.

That’s a stretch he’s better than kyrou next year. There is a massive difference between SHL/WJ vs NHL. Lekkerimaki hasn’t even played on smaller NA ice yet.

Kyrou is a pretty electric player and has been over PPG in the last 2 season’s combined before this one. Kyrou and Thomas have been great together, so imagine what kyrou and Petey could do.

Just off the top, the Blues are not tearing down, and making the playoffs or not this season won't change that or the likelihood Kyrou gets traded, which will remain incredibly low. Frankly, I doubt either team is interested in this.

Kyrou is young enough where we can rebuild around him. The only reason to trade him would be for a young already established top 4 defensemen that has the potential to be more

I would take that if I were the Blues. Esentially downgrading from Kyrou to Kuzy for Lekkerimaki and a first. Kind of too good to pass up.

As a Canucks fan that is an absolute loss on that trade. Kyrou is good but to give up Kouzy and Lekkerimaki plus picks....nope

St. Louis decline.
Jordon Kyrou is not available and St. Louis is not trading him.
