The Blues ship is in the process of sinking (and the defense has been awful since they let Pietrangelo walk) and O'Reilly and Tarasenko being out for a month+ guarantees they'll struggle to grab an 8th spot.

Also, why did the Blues give up on Kostin? He seems perfectly fine as a middle six dude with upside. I know they have a lot of young wingers but

He was mostly a non-presence on the ice and seemed to have a very low hockey IQ

is Niko Mikkola any good? 3 points in 50 games and 6'4" sure sounds like a Drury 6th defenseman, so I hope he's somewhat competent

Haven't watched most of the games this year out of protest for roster construction, but he is a big body that isn't gonna do much. He's cheap, I guess, but he's due a contract soon

I'd love it if a GM lost their mind and gave the Blues a 1st for Barbashev (or somehow decided to take on one of Krug, Parayko, or Faulk, but that won't happen). It would make packaging a couple of the lower first rounders easier for a mid-level one

The Rangers SHOULD be waiving Leschysysysysyn and be all over claiming Jankowski, but I doubt they do. Jankowski is a better player than Jake (low bar), better at face offs, AND is actually slightly cheaper so getting him wouldn't preclude them from still going after Bjugstad or someone else at the deadline. Then when they inevitably lose Kravtsov they could keep Jankowski around as 13F.

The only issue is I'm not sure if they actually CAN claim him. According to CapFriendly they have $720k of space today, not enough to accommodate Jankowski's $750k cap hit. They could accommodate it after waiving Jake L, but they'd have to waive him tomorrow and wouldn't be able to assign him until he clears on Wednesday, which I think means it won't work? I don't know - I feel like I understand cap gymnastics only like 75%.

Is this Jay Feaster's Mark "Will Be Viewed As The Best Player in This Draft" Jankowski?

Please don't trade for some guy that's gonna take up the remainder of the space under the cap while needing to fill out the rest of the roster

He's absolutely the wrong guy to lead a rebuild, as evidenced by his desire to trade for Meier.

Walman's been excellent this year, and now is locked up for a mere 0.716 Ben Chiarots for the next three seasons.

another atrocious trade that doug armstrong made with the red wings. not a single one has made any sense
