I agree with giving Vegas an incentive to take Lehtera......but I think a 1st rounder, even a late one, is too much. Who knows what the going rate is, though - going to have to wait and see one of those deals go down before we know what the cost would be.wannabebluesplayer wrote:
This summer will be very interesting. If I'm Armstrong, you offer LV one of your first rounders to take Lehtera off the Blues hands. That contract is manageable for them. Keep him two years, then dump him. Blues need to find a way to pick up another top scoring player, hopefully center. I think there will be ones available, but DA needs to be willing to make a shrewd move. Maybe lose 2 NHL players to get a top tier one.
I would rather see the Blues look at packaging those two first rounders and moving up in the 1st round, or using them as part of a trade for a current NHL player.
