The Kraken deserve their own thread.
Protected list are do out today. The Blues list should be interesting. Do they protect Dunn and leave someone else exposed so they can trade him or do they leave him exposed and risk losing him for nothing to protect someone else?
I'd hate to trade him for a middling prospect or pick at this point but something is better than nothing right if you plan to leave him exposed.
Either way, I haven't seem him talked about this much since he dropped that dude with one punch in the tunnel.
Me personally, I'd tempt Seattle to take Krug from us.

6Trade freeze kicks in in 1 hour....we’ll see if Dunn and Tarasenko are still Blues by then

Re: 2021 Expansion Draft
7That has seemed a given for about 4 months. There are a ton of teams worried about losing their goalie. I'd be a bit surprised if old friend Jake Allen doesn't end up in Seattle, unless Montreal does a side deal with them.

Re: 2021 Expansion Draft
9Looking like no deals. Pretty well expected. GMs way overthought the Vegas draft. Just lose your guy that you’re willing to lose, everybody loses one player suck it up and move on.
Re: 2021 Expansion Draft
111 and 2 are related. I doubt there's a side deal. Only trick up his sleeve would be if Dunn is protected, which seems unlikely. His trade value suffered after a down year for him last season.

Re: 2021 Expansion Draft
12Guessing the plan is if Tarasenko goes, use the money for Landeskog. I think we’d all be okay with it?

Re: 2021 Expansion Draft
13That's a big freaking risk for something that you don't have complete control over. Sure maybe there are side deals, but there's a real possibility of an opening night lineup that has none of Tarasenko, Dunn or Landeskog. If that's the case....oooof.Dread_Pirate_Westley wrote: Sat Jul 17, 2021 3:06 pm Guessing the plan is if Tarasenko goes, use the money for Landeskog. I think we’d all be okay with it?

Re: 2021 Expansion Draft
15So nothing cooking for Tarasenko in trade talks? Be something if Seattle takes a pass too.
Re: 2021 Expansion Draft
16If Seattle takes Tarasenko, fine. Throw that money at Landeskog, maybe try and sign Suter. Figure out what you want to do with Dunn and fill out the rest of the holes up front with a Dunn trade or UFA. I'm happy Barbashev and Sunny won't be exposed. Those two are key parts of this squad. #91 not so much at this point.

1. They really value that 7.5 million in cap
2. There wasn’t a team willing to take on the full salary
3. They didn’t want to lose Barbs/Sunny

19JR and Mike Smith with their little click baiting scam should get both of them kicked out of Blues fandom forever. One time in the middle of one of their fake threads bashing the Blues JR joined the fracas to regulate the forum....I asked him a question about Craig fucking Janney and he had no clue who that was....two years later he releases a book focused on lifting money from Blues fans.

23Must of been teams not on his list. I bet Oilers were one of them. Could be more going on than we know. Army is a shrewd poker player. Something could still go down and shock us all.
