LOL

TSN said the rumor was 7 x $12. Were they ever off.

They said Calgary made the same offer.

What a kick in the teeth to New Jersey and Calgary though.

I had to mute this Blues "Super fan". Holy shit... some tourist who talks non-stop about the team. I mean tweeting 24/7 about them... and she will be back ten seconds into next season.

Don't fret, Dave, you'll get to hear plenty more from her when she becomes the Blues' new local rinkside reporter.

For the record, it wasn't me, haha.

Did Johnny Gaudreau just take less money to play on a team who's best center is Jack Roslovic?

A lot less. Not sure how it works out tax-wise but he left a lot of money on the table.

I might!!!

That is a big surprise but I’m so happy for Columbus. I hope they win over there. Congrats to Jarmo for pulling that off. Isn’t JD back over there? He’s a great talker. I bet he sold it.

My bad, shoulda known it was The Cap'n. He's been without female companionship for so long that he sees them all as an imminent threat. As well he should.

Eklund suggesting Kadri back to Colorado…..which means he will end up anywhere but there. Not sure how they would pull that off, but I wouldn’t mind if they gave him a big, long-term deal.

Capfriendly has them at 3.9 million in cap space so that would be impressive.

Get those crazy trade proposals out there while they're still speculative!!

One source familiar with Tkachuk’s list said that St. Louis, Vegas, Florida, Nashville and Dallas are options. New Jersey and the New York Rangers are also among the other teams that have expressed interest in the past.

After a VERY quick look at each of those team's roster/cap, I do think Kyrou is probably the best trade chip that seems to actually be available. I don't see how Vegas could make it work at all. Nashville and Dallas don't have anything like a Kyrou available (as far as I know). Florida just traded a way a bunch of high draft picks, so I'm not sure they're going to be able to meet the price. Calgary is allegedly looking for a good current roster players rather than pure futures, but they'll defeinitely want at least a first round pick out of this. I really think the price ends up being lower (or at least more palatable) than expected, or some team comes out of nowhere.

Maybe Army is forced to pay up if there are other teams Tkachuk is willing to consider. I could see the Rangers being a problem. See you Jordan, you fucked up Game 6 anyway.

Wonder what Keith Tkachuk and Army have been talking about lately............................

The article isn't behind a paywall. He's definitely going to be moved.

If Army can pull this off without having to give up Kostin then give him a key to the city

Should we read anything into the fact that the picture they used in that tweet has a Blues player in the foreground???? Hmmm?

I'm thinking it'd have to be Tkachuk+++ to get Kostin.

Vegas would just put their top two lines on IR for the first 3/4 of every season through the length of Tkachuk's contract and hope they can still make the playoffs in the last 1/4 of the season.

Kostin??? For Tkachuk??? What are they smokin' up in Cal-Gary, to think that would ever happen. SMFH

Calgary trades to St Louis a talented young winger who is the the son of a former superstar and who is about to enter the prime of his career. Why does that sound familiar?

All that's missing is Walt calling him a lazy little bastard.
