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.

For the record...Jeremy Rutherford is talking out of his ass and is almost always wrong about anything.

The Cap vs. JR fued is one of my favorite confusing BNF tropes.

That 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.

That'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.

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.

Blues willing to just take the cap space and run. That says a lot.

JR 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. Fuck that little Mizzou J-school bitch.

I was in Florida a few years back and was talking to someone else who happened to be from St. louis, turned out to be a relative of his. Apparently he never liked hockey and always wanted to write about the Cards but got stuck with the Blues. Similar to how Jim Thomas is a football guy.

St. louis fans really have the short stick of team writers.
