Sources say contract talks between the St Louis Blues and Blues captain, Alex Pietrangelo have broken off. The team has advised Pietrangelo to pursue unrestricted free agency.

What? You don't think Stamkos will waive his NMC and get traded to Buff for Middelfat and a 2nd?

Would love the hammer. He’s my new bjustead. He’d pretty much be a cap dump for AZ so I’d think he wouldn’t be too hard to get. And I’d partner him with Dahlin for a year.

Of course I wanted Davorak with the hammer, before Staal. I might like the Garland idea now if he can play 2rw...

Who else might you target from AZ with the hammer?

Nothing on my end, did find out that it was the Sabres pushing for Monahan and not the Flames wanting to move him.

Garth has to be the biggest troll on this site. He can't seriously believe the stuff he writes.

I think I’d go after Pietrangelo. (frank) it, why not.

Get totally crazy.

It would probably get 55 out

Would all depend on term and AAV for me.

Which I’m assuming will be outrageous cause we all know Toronto will be falling over themselves for him.

55 will be out in two years...pietrangelo has a lot of miles on him and he'll probably be looking at a max contract which will take him into his mid-latter 30's

I'm still stunned gm ka/rk pulled it off and really confused as to why the Wild did that
- Michael Pachla

to be fair. Wild seem to making a few questionable moves. But maybe Guerin knows something we dont about some of the others.

Garland doesn't make sense for the yotes to trade. But he could be a real nice steal for another team, thats for sure.

No. Not for 8. Maybe lotto protected 2021. It’d be a fun discussion. But with a new gm in place, it’ll be interesting in how fast he moves.

Simply just his salary and production. But I'd imagine they move him if someone offers something unreal they cant pass up on.
