Rush17 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 The St. Louis Blues are “engaged in serious discussions” with the Ottawa Senators on a trade that could involve forwards Mike Hoffman or Derick Brassard, according to a new report from Blues beat writer Lou Korac. Citing a source, Korac reports if the two teams complete a trade, it will be for one of Hoffman or Brassard but not both. A potential package going back to Ottawa could include forwards Vladimir Sobotka, Patrik Berglund and Robby Fabbri according to Korac. The Blues have already been active on the trade market, acquiring forward Nikita Soshnikov from the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday Hoffman’s name has been in trade rumours most of the season. Back in December, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported the Blues were interested in trading for the sniper, who has two more years left on his contract. In 56 games this season, Hoffman has 16 goals and 39 points. He’s scored at least 26 goals in each of the past three seasons. Brassard, who will be an unrestricted free agent in 2019, has 16 goals and 32 points this season. Both Hoffman and Brassard have modified no-trade clauses. Blues GM Doug Armstrong suggested Friday that his team could be busy ahead of the Feb. 26 trade deadline. “I think we’re going to be active on hockey trades more than rental trades,” Armstrong said on Hockey Central at Noon. “The reality is if you’re trading an unrestricted free agent at that time you’re going to get what you can get and sometimes that won’t come until the last second. “I think it’s actually going to be a really busy time though.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush17 Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 Heard on sportsnet app STL wanted to make a hockey trade or two. More long term alterations. Someone with term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForsbergTheGreat Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Blues don’t have a 1st this year so I’d wonder who they’d move. They do have some really good prospects coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toews Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 If I were Ottawa I would ask for Vince Dunn in any Hoffman trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solinar Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 If they're truly going after Brassard, you know Stastny is going back the other way. And then it becomes what you're going to take from St. Louis to deal with that cap hit. If Ottawa nails this trade, they could prove to be a real winner in 3 years time.

Warhippy Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Hard to see the Sens being interested in Berglund or Sobotka knowing they've blown it all up and need to recoup some youth. And Fabbri IIRC is still out with that knee issue I'm not entirely sure who they have to give Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I think for Hoffman Ottawa would have to ask for Kostin+Kyrou/Dunn or something like that. He’s still really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbox Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Brassard's cap hit next year is higher than his salary. Perfect player for Ottawa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richado Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 The Duchene trade looks so dumb now. They trade futures for a big name and are sellers only months later. I bet they'd be looking to trade Duchene if they hadn't only just got him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10pavelbure96 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Lol Karlsson won't stay much longer either. And they have traded so many good prospects. Poor Sens fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10pavelbure96 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 If we get lucky and win the lottery I would trade Juolevi Gaudette our 2019 first and retain salary on Loui Eriksson for Erik Karlsson Karlsson Tanev Edler Dahlin Gudbranson Stecher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to have a long off season this year and will come back strong, similar to stamkos. No way Karlsson is done, just an off year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their only hope may be getting something for him at the deadline next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegionOfDoom Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Duchene seems like he’s finally catching his stride with the team, I’ve watched their past 2 games and he’s been their best player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
