I'd say Faulk, Krug, Hayes, and Saad are the guys with value there

I think moreso what i was getting at was matches for teams that have holes in the specific areas. Scandella and kapanen probably have little value as rentals with retention, but those are always hard to guess versus just a general idea when making ACGMs in the future of where a player could be moved to.

There is no value at all for any team on the LTIR list

Please read description.

Honestly, considering the particular injuries/depth issues many contenders have, I'd guess Sunny, Hayes and Scandella will get the most calls from different teams. Not sure about Leddy. He was gruesomely bad last season, but - and I cannot believe I'm saying this - has actually been kiiiinda passably decent this season. I just don;t know if anyone would call for him, but I guess it's possible if they need a puck mover bad (hello, Isles).

Faulk, who knows? He'd need to get back to fully fit and look good to generate something. I keep trying to work out a 3-way where the Blues get Roy while the Kings get Faulk and a goalie from a 3rd team, but it's tricky.

Just guessing here:
Hayes - NYR, BOS, COL, PITT, WPG
Scandella - TOR, DAL, FLA, maybe DET, maaaybe EDM
Sunny - damn near every contender

Even with some better play lately, Krug seems a pipe dream.

I genuinely believe Leddy would have good value if he were retained on. However, I also don't believe it would benefit the Blues to trade Leddy with retention for futures. He's has a really good reputation as a great skater and he has had statistically good seasons with the Blues.

I'd probably agree with you on Krug.

I don't think it would make sense to trade Sunny unless he were to want to go to a contender. All of these trade clauses in general will disallow most moves with Canadian teams and bottom feeders who may want vets to try and create a culture.

I REALLY want the Jets to trade for Sunny BUT I know many Blues fans figure he's getting extended and wants to stay with the Blues.

I might make a post one of these days where the Jets acquire him so don't tear my head off k... 😉

Blues are in the playoffs and will probably be right in the hunt around the TDL so I doubt Army will sell.

I think he should be making a move for Hanifin or Chychrun.

I read it

And responded accordingly in fact

Wtf are you talking about

The Blues will likely do some buying and some selling, just like last season. I do not want them getting involved for Hanifin or Chych. Not the right type of D splurge for my taste and both will be looking for crazy contracts soon enough.

I could be happy if the Blues got Hanifin. But not at this deadline. I also think his contract demands are going to be much higher than I would be willing to swallow.

I think every single fan on this forum is interested in Sundqvist. It’s just not practical to trade him for a mid to late round pick unless he asks to be moved to a contender. He came back for his girlfriend. Would be pretty wrong to just ship him off to the highest bidder when he waited as long as possible to take a league min deal here.

I know that this is going to be a flat no, but what would you be looking for in a trade for Dvorksy?

I highly doubt they trade him. There were talks that they were talking about trying to trade up to 5 or so to take him. I don't know why they would trade him. I guess a #1D prospect or young D that fits that range may be a possibility, but that's a situation that could look to blow up in their faces. Highest draft pick for the org since Pietro and they trade him less than a year after drafting him? Tough to overcome from a media perspective

are you guys going to push in playoffs hard or just dip in?

Armstrong has said quite a few times he doesn’t think this team is a contender. Which in his words means we’ll probably sell pieces. But he’s also pretty strategic in that. I think he’s going to be a very cautious seller. Our only impending UFAs are Sundqvist, Blais, Vrana and Scandella. Sundqvist probably won’t be sold unless it really is something someone shouldn’t trade for him.

Other 3 are pretty meaningless in the broad scheme of things. Scandella has actually been pretty good.

Vrana would probably be shipped to any team that would give him ice time for very little.

Blais can’t expect much. He hits a lot but doesn’t do a whole lot else.

Forgot Kapanen. I’d imagine if the return were decent for him he’d move him pretty reasonably.

He’s still going to try and make the playoffs. But he’s extremely pragmatic.

Also mentioned recently if someone were to come with a prospect that they really liked for one of their guys with term he’d be open to it. I’m guessing that is geared more towards Krug/Saad/ maybe Faulk or Schenn fit that bill.

A deals just really going to have to make sense for the Blues for him to make a move. And that’s not usually something that goes over too well when two teams fans are brainstorming ideas.

I’d imagine there’s a less than 0 percent chance any of the following get sold for anything short of a young top end D man: Dvorsky, Snuggerud, Stenberg, Lindstein, Bolduc and a few others.

I could see them trying to position themselves to flip a forward prospect for a young defenseman who they think could fill a role in the top 4 in the near future. If they go that route there’s a lot to like from the Blues forward prospect group.

what about Parayko?

Sunny has a girlfriend in St. Louis

Are we getting a direct replacement for him in the trade? Because if we are trading him and aren't, we need to trade our whole roster.

I had in mind a guy like Mailloux + +

I think Mailloux is a good prospect. But I don't really understand his profile enough to see if that would be worth it. I'm not sure what he looks like defensively or projects out as. Trading Parayko tears down our whole defense. You can't reasonably replace him on the UFA market or via trade. We'd have to find a defenseman capable of handling alot of very hard minutes.
