<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>noted</b></div><div>I don’t understand what you mean by the blues paying for retention here…yes they would do this. Get McDonagh for $5 per and get rid of Scandella. But yes I agree, Arizona is more than likely one of Scandella’s 7 NTC’s</div></div>

McDonagh is purely a cap casualty for Tampa Bay. I’m not saying he has negative value at all, but he is a cap casualty. I don’t think St. Louis should be trading for McDonagh to begin with, let alone pay for Tampa’s cap relief after they made the cup finals 3 years in a row. I’m not in the boat to help out a team that could beat us in the playoffs ya know. McDonagh is good yeah, but the Blues can trade for cheaper players that are just as good or are younger and have room to grow rather than go for McDonagh and have to play around that contract later on. It doesn’t make sense.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oilnate</b></div><div>I think so too but based on an article I was reading they listed this as an offer that could be fair</div></div>

Do you by chance have that article? I’d be interested to see what it says. Perunovich offers more value, but I also don’t know if Armstrong would part ways with Perunovich just yet. My guess is they’ll keep Perunovich and trade Krug to Detroit in 3-4 years when they become a solidified playoff team. Perunovich is projected to be a better more rounded Krug from what I’m seeing.

As for the trade offered in this scenario. Barbashev can prove his worth on a shallow Arizona offense. If he puts up 50+ points he can be in line for a major salary raise. Mikkola would thrive in a full-time Top 4D role, he really is the type of player that plays how he’s put in the lineup (if you give him a lot of minutes then he’ll play well there, but if you have him as a reliable bottom pairing guy then that’s what he will do). Kostin would for sure make the lineup in Arizona and I can see something like this sparking his productivity, he just needs a fresh start. I would say St. Louis wins this trade overall, but the unknown potential is there for Arizona in the future too. I mean Barbashev traded at TDL with retention could fetch a 1st if he keeps pace from last year.

Sujet: WAY TOO EARLY Standings Predictions
I think the Metro and Pacific might have the biggest changes. Central and Atlantic should look pretty similar besides Montreal has a better year maybe. I think Metro has a chance at sending 5 (50% confident) to the playoffs, but I think Boston makes one more crack at it, so that might be 4 and 4. Central I think is sending 5 (75% confident). I can see Edmonton just not making it and it being a whole ordeal with McDavid. Vegas either wins the division, barely squeaks in, or is out. I think it goes:

Atlantic:

TOR
FLA
TBL
BOS* - Battle for WC
MTL
DET
OTT
BUF

Metro:

NYR
CAR
PIT
WSH* - Battle for WC
NYI* - Battle for WC
NJD* - Battle for WC
CBJ
PHI

Central:

COL
STL
MIN
DAL* - Battle for WC
NSH* - Battle for WC
WPG
CHI
ARI

Pacific:

CGY
LAK
EDM* - Battle for 3 in PAC
VGK* - Battle for 3 in PAC
VAN
SJS
ANA
SEA
