Re: Confirmed: Blues Trade for ROR

JR: According to @CapFriendly, the Blues have $8.4 million in cap space. They still have to sign 5 RFAs (Fabbri, Jaskin, Sundqvist, Edmundson, Schmaltz).

Could they still be in on a winger like Maroon? Army says it's possible, but they'd have to get creative. #stlblues

GET CREATIVE

Sundqvist can kick rocks by the way.
Just a Russian propaganda account

I now have a feeling they are going to be signing Maroon.

Steen to San Jose for a 2nd+ Prospect. Sharks struck out on everyone and Steen could probably be coaxed to go play in Northern Cali. :D

Hope you are right.

Imagine if we could get rid of Steen and/or Bouwmeester - grab Neal or trade for Skinner and you are in business! How's that for creative... haha

Does Army have a goaltender in his bag of tricks?
This is a playoff team unless the injuries are catastrophic. I know everyone is down on Allen and I am too to a degree, but the whole team fell apart after December not just Allen.

If Allen finds the magic that keeps his head in games, that'd be nice.

If we can drop Steen and get Neal instead, for basically just a million more (he wants $6/year), that'd be solid. But I don't want Maroon for Steens $$$. Both Maroon and Neal play with an edge and tough, but Neal is a way better overall player.

Agreed. Though I do think his issues are a bit overblown by Blues fans. Most goalies outside of the very elite are pretty up and down.

Wow, just saw this on USA Today. Haven't read the thread yet to see the reactions but this is a great deal. I love it. Bravo DA!! The 2 draft picks is all we gave up IMO. Didn't have much hope for TT and its addition by subtraction with Bergs and Sobie. I'll say it again - Bravo DA!!

It's easy to get lost in your own head out there, someone needs to work on that with him, not the Brodeur working with him, but someone that can work on his mentality and concentration. He has the fundamentals of goaltending, but that gets lost when he's not focused. Until that mental bit gets fixed, he's gonna be shakey Jakey.

This completely changes the outlook of the entire lineup.

And to do it without having to move Parayko, Kyrou, or Thomas is huge.

Props to Stillman for stepping up and paying the 7.5 signing bonus to allow this trade to happen.

How does that work? Are the Blues actually paying him 15M the first year?

Yeah, a lot of goalies are inconsistent, but when Allen has been bad the last two years, he has been embarrassingly bad, to the point that it guts the team in front of him.

Sobotka and Berglund cancel out ROR's salary so hopefully they have some room for him.
Sounds like his price is high, but some muscle w/ skill added to the lineup would be a serious move.
I don't disagree if the term is right - it seems like reports were he was looking for 3 or 4 years. I think his body holds up reasonably for 2 more, wouldn't go any more than that on term.
