Sujet: Top 30 Centers in the league come attack me
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MelonVK</b></div><div>It might also be blurred by Saad who's very good at that exact thing, too (unless I need to update on that as well, but I'd assume no since Colorado is way more aware of this than me personally).

I'm also just intuitively going a bit away from convention - I knew ROR was *VERY* good when he left Buffalo, but I also didn't try to slot him into some top 5-10 C list just because he won a cup. He's been steadily great and just outside of that range as far as I'm aware.

With the same sentiment, I try to push back on people saying Toews turned into garbage because Chicago did, when in reality they're probably the same people who tried to say he was the best in the league 7 years ago.</div></div>

Yeah I've pegged ROR around the 10-15 range and toews probably recently got pushed out of my top 25 but hes not totally washed

Sujet: Whats the price for Dunn
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NeedTheCleanser</b></div><div>I love the comments in these posts. Good teams that are in cap trouble will always say “if we’re trading Player A, we have to get a top 6 forward and a a 2nd in return” And completely ignore the cap/money ramifications.</div></div>

If you're referring to my comment, I said if Steen stays on LTIR all year then the Blues can afford to keep Dunn or move him for a forward with a similar cap hit. Would be a cap-neutral move to add a scoring forward, not a cap-saving move.

If Steen doesn't stay on LTIR all season, then the Blues need to find the cap space, and I don't think they should do that with a Dunn trade. Move someone else if all they'd get back is a draft pick/prospect that will never be as good as Dunn. Hell, retain 1.5 on Bozak and send a 3rd rd pick with him if that's what it takes to make the room. I see no reason for the Blues to give up a good young d-man when other teams have had no issue moving their cap hits around (stastny, maatta, gudbranson, m staal, etc).

Sujet: Whats the price for Dunn
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>God8069</b></div><div>Fair enough, forgot about McCabe's cap. Maybe if some was retained it'd be more interesting but fair enough. Dunn's going to be expensive, and blues have a lot of cap tied on long term defenseman, Faulk, Krug, and Scandella. If Steen stay on Ltir, then yeah they probably have no reason to move him.</div></div>

Yeah the LTIR is STL's best hope. If not, they'd have to dig deep and move out some cap if/when Steen and Tarasenko would return, whether it's Dunn or someone like Bozak, Scandella, Perron, Schwartz...

Dunn doesn't have arbitration rights so he's not in a big leverage spot - I'd guess that he gets a 2 yr bridge in the 2.8 - 3.2m ballpark. Haven't heard any news about extension talks though.
