Teams Calling About Hofer

[smilinjoefission]

i hear Power can play RD

So Power and McLeod for Kyrou, Hofer, Jirichek, Faulk

That's a steal of a deal for the Blues...but why would the Sabres do this? Faulk is useless, Jiricek is a ???.

[Harry S Deals]

Power is another LHD with an $8+ mill cap hit and i cant say right now thats hes better than Broberg or Fowler.

“Right now” shouldn’t be in the debate. Having another Parayko (floor) for a decade doesn’t sound too bad.

Fowler turns 34 this season and has over 1000 games played. I love how well he did for us but let's be realistic about what we're expecting out of him going forward.

Idc how old Fowler is hes a great dman he was one of the best in the NHL under Monty. Fowler will carry the load on the LD side while the Blues see what they have in Broberg and Lindstein and go from there

Maybe Power becomes one of the best LHD in the NHL or maybe Power is a very solid top 4 LHD i havent seen enough to want to pay him $8+ mill for a bunch of years. Heres a giant size dman who is softer than Broberg lol

He’s not softer than Broberg. Why you continually inflate Broberg

[DawgDad]

The Blues turned the corner from retool to team in contention. There is still a forward looking lean but immediate team needs are back in focus.

You think Broberg is 3rd pairing next year? That’s funny

[Lloyd Braun]

lol now that is ground breaking news

Yep. This is so generic and standard practice, that it feels with certainty that it was click-bait horsecrap to pretend there is some insider info.

Of course teams are interested. Of course the Blues are listening. Of course they aren't going to say they are actively shopping him because it decreases their leverage.

Hey, I got some real insider news too: "The NATO summit begins officially tonight in the Hague, Netherlands. Leaders are expected to talk about defense spending and on-going world confrontations."

(bleep)... CNN or FOX News should hire me immediately

This would make a lot more sense if the Blues can move on from Faulk, 25 yr old, 6'4" RHD, 70 pt season already, RFA

obviously Broberg does not play 3rd pair.

The guys on Locked on Sabres podcast says he likes to play RD.
thus you have

Cam, CP55
Broberg, Power
Leddy, Tucker
Kessel.

Up front you left off Sunny, Texier, Joseph, and Devo

I would run

Neighbors, Thomas, Buchy
Holloway, Schenn, Snuggy
Devo, McLeod, Bolduc,
Walkee, Sunny, Torpo

Texier, Joseph

That's too many stretches Dvorsky is a long shot weak RW and Texier, Joseph and Sunny are NHL extras maybe Sunny is 4th Raw or C
