just watched the Clowe interview. gotta feel for the guy. sad seeing a career end that way.. but, take your insurance checks and enjoy the next chapter.

to me, the million dollar question is if Lou will trade the pick. Schneider for our 9th was a steal. Maybe he can do it again? 6th, 36th, and 41st overall. those are some nice picks to work with.

I bet Lou looks into Stafford, Stewart, Beleskey,.. and maybe makes a run.. or trade.. for Tarasenko, thinking of the future to lure Kovy back. Kovy-Strome-Tarasenko would be ridiculous, and would put Cam on the 2nd line. Really want to get Martin on that 2nd pair with either Larsson or Severson. I really think he makes us a lot better, and puts Gelinas and Merrill where they should be on the 3rd pair, if both are even on the team, and keeps Fraser and Harrold far away.

Cammalleri-draft/trade-UFA/Trade
Henrique-Gomez-Boucher
Elias-Zajac-Matteau
Ruutu-Josefson-Bernier/Tootoo/Zubrus

it's such a cluster of players. Boucher is playing on the left side mostly, right?

Cammalleri-Gomez-Draft/UFA/Trade
Elias-Zajac-Draft/UFA/Trade
Boucher-Henrique-Matteau

I'd be interested in that 3rd line. It has some potential, but perhaps best to have either Elias or Zajac with 1 of the kids, as neither Boucher or Matteau are great defensively.

I'm hoping we can get 40g, 30a between Matteau and Boucher combined. Then Cam is a lock for 30, and the draft pick.. if he plays, should hopefully pot 20. I think 16-17 we might be a playoff team.

Chris Phillips will be a UFA in 2016. Cup clinching acquisition right there.

There is no way stl moves taresenko and we would not be able to trade for a player like him without including our first plus. I also don't know how I feel about Martin and I want absolutely nothing to do with Philips lol guy might be slower and worse then volchie.

We would have to give up so much for tarasenko. No way St. Louis moves him.

Not in a second. Henrique, Larsson, and our 1st would be the absolute minimum it would take and that would be dumb for both sides. Jaskin or Rattie plus a pick are two guys though that I would consider moving Gelly for. I don't think his return will be nearly what some people are estimating. It won't be for anyone FULLY proven because Gelly himself isn't fully proven. I'd love to pry Pirri or Trocheck from Florida.
