P-D: Blues might trade 1st rd pick to build around Tarasenko

[Oaklandblue]

Shatty and Oshie is a giant overpay...and more salary than I think they want back in return.

It shouldn't take that much to get a deal done. Ottawa is looking to rebuild if they are dumping Spezza...that means they would want younger guys with smaller salaries, not prime players with prime contracts. They are looking for a younger, cheaper D-man would be my guess.

Isn't it pretty much a push salary wise? Kessel is getting about seven isn't he?

Could be a lot to pay yet again, I still see this as the moving of three young, good players to get a couple of scorers that would be what the Blues need.

Berg/Cole to Toronto for Kessel?
Oshie/draft pick for Spezza?

I am kind of Meh City when it comes to Kesler. Would rather have Stasny instead (well duh) but you know what I am saying.

Nonis, is that you?
