Yes a legit prospect absolutely. But my point is he gets stupid ideas in his head like we need an NHL ready player back and if thats the case you will get much less in a trade. I think zero chance we get a kyrou level prospect back.

Just ask for a 1st and first team to give it to you then take it. if no 1st move to a 2nd.

The athletic just said JB wants to get an NHL ready player back for Gud.

This is where he went wrong last year with Gold.

He is trying to speed up the rebuild yet again. If you can get a legit prospect back by all means but to say get back another Vey or clendening type player instead of a pick is totally ridiculous.

You are going to get higher value for a pick over a prospect most times unless a team sees no future with the player(see goldobin)

How does the Athletic know what Jim wants?

Thank you

I am hoping there is a deal just waiting and Canucks don't want to take a chance on him getting injured and are waiting for the other team to get their cap space or roster numbers to be kosher

- VANTEL

A team like tampa might give it to you. I think a 2nd from a team like toronto is about what he will get. Those picks have similar value. Zero chance toronto is giving up a 1st.

How much do you think a team is willing to give up for a player that has played 62 games in two years as a rental?
- VANTEL

Add Vanek. Get Kyrou and a 3rd or 4th?
My nil traderumours had speculation that St Louis was willing to move Kyrou for some help on defense and or scoring

That was my thought. I just want him gone.

Would you take vanek and gud for petterson? Cus Kyrou is almost that level.

Are you high?

What do you think we get back if a 2nd is too much? Thats what we got for Burrows essentially last year. Burrows id say has similar value as gud.

My team is not trying to win a Cup anytime soon,
St. Louis window is now.

It is amazing how many times we have said we just need to cut our losses over the last four years. I would take that Guddy money and turn around to Tryamkin and ask him 5.5 x 8 come back now

As a reporter one would think he speaks to people on these issues..

Who are you to say they havent heard rumors? Didnt realize everything went through you for approval

I want Tryamkin back. Even if he comes back and is nothing more than a bottom pairing guy he brings more offense and toughness than gud ever did or ever will.

I was hoping they would have offered him an actual long-term deal instead of a bridge the last time.

I think JB's getting low balled based on his UFA status and injury history.

I'll guess a B level prospect and a mid round pick is what he's getting offered.

If that.

EP with a PK and a PP goal so far today.

I am all for bringing him back long term . I don't mind if he plays one more year as the country club moves out .

You're on opiates right?
Kyrou has had a few great games for Sarnia recently but is nowhere near Peterson's level in terms of a prospect.
He is the blues 4th best center prospect behind Thompson, Thomas, and Kostin.
Hes not getting traded for Gudbranson but he is on the market and he's more of a Dahlen level forward prospect then a Peterson.

Yes.... similar value like i said above.

Not 5ov pick from last year value

It’s just sound like bull sh!t. Share the source please. Who wrote the article? Have you taken it out of context? Did he say sources have indicated that Jim doesn’t want picks or is the reporter purely speculating ?

5.5 x 8 for a momma boy who hasn't proven anything in the nhl
4m x 3 tops, don't want another Eriksson type contract.

Benning on the Sedin twins : "I have not heard back from their agent, it is most about their future and planning for us. If they don't play next year, do we sign Vanek."

Benning : "I am having conversations with other general managers right now, we will see what happens. There is a market for our free agents, we will know more closer to the deadline."
