hammertime Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 To Stl: Granlund + Rodin To Van: Klim Kostin + 3rd The Blues get some skilled depth for a playoff charge. Granlund easily slots into their top 9 and would be deadly with their group. Rodin slots into Klims spot in the AHL and gets his needed fresh start. I'm stoked on Klim Kostin and I would absolutely love to see what he and Goldy can do together. We also clear a contract we can use on a college FA later. Gaunce slots in next to Sutter Dorsett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48MPHSlapShot Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Personally, I'd be going after right handed shots, and the Russian thing always scares me a bit. Still a nice prospect and would make a nice pickup though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Interesting idea. Kostin was ranked ahead of Pettersson in the Euro skaters list on NHL.com just before the draft. The problem tho is the Blues have zero cap space now or at the TDL day. So you'd have to find one or two roster players for us to take back.

Maybe change the 3rd to a 4th for the minor inconvenience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowtieCanuck Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I would rather keep Grandlund. We won that trade and he is exceeding what was expected of him. Not worth giving up on him at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying I want to trade Granlund, but if we’re offered Kostin for him that would be pretty hard to turn down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get him with his potential ceiling, we'd have to give up a bit more than the OP proposed. If it ain't broke, don't fix it IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it ain't broke, don't fix it IMO. I dunno man getting offered a young 20 goal scorer who has a defensive pedigree and can play all 3 fwd positions making sub 1 mill has to be worth 31st OA IMO. If Vancouver was on the cusp of contention and had fallen short repeatedly as STL has I'd trade Gaunce Schroeder Jensen and Shinkaruk just for Granlund lol. I'm high on Klim but there is a reason 30 teams passed on him. However (slides tinfoil hat on) I think JB had the hot's for this kid at 33 as he interviewed him long n hard. Pretty happy with Lind though not sure I would swap them one for one but that's irrelevant as Lind does nothing for STL currently. Food for thought though. PS I don't think ain't broke don't fix works with hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does though when you're actually building a core for a team that has been on the wrong side of ,500 for too long. I'm not saying not to trade him ever, I'm just saying what we have now is working right now. Leave it be until otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
