Blues’ Jordan Kyrou, Leafs’ Brandon Carlo join latest Trade Targets board

And this is where the rubber meets the road on the way to Round 1 of the NHL Draft on Friday night. Months of preparation and endless hours of calls come down to the next few days, the biggest window on the hockey calendar to reshape a roster. The foundation for most of the transactions you see this week would have been laid over the last few months, some emanating even before the March trade deadline. Now it’s just about executing.

Here are 40 names in play on the trade market, including five new ones, with St. Louis Blues winger Jordan Kyrou rocketing toward the top of the board:

2. Jordan Kyrou

Right Wing, St. Louis Blues
Age: 27
Stats: 82 GP, 36 G, 34 A, 70 Pts
Contract: 6 years remaining, $8.125 million AAV

Scoop: Kyrou joins the board as a player just days away from his full ‘no-trade’ clause kicking in on July 1. He’s been a very productive player, averaging 35 goals and 71 points over the last three seasons. So why would the Blues move him? That’s a big commitment remaining. Plus the calculus that rival teams have made is that GM Doug Armstrong will see rookie Jimmy Snuggerud as a player who can effectively soon replace Kyrou. The Blues are a middling team that aren’t young, and this may be one way to continue to turn over the roster.

Hmmmm

“ The Blues are a middling team that aren’t young, and this may be one way to continue to turn over the roster.”

What an incredibly lazy way to characterize the Blues. I’d call them one of the most exciting young, up & coming teams in the league.

[Frank Underwood]

Harry, looks like you and I are on the same page this morning!

Frank Sarevelli wrote that?

How can he be that uniformed?

[Zizzle1297]

If we are truely poking around at Dobson as being reported.

would you A) trade Kyrou
or B) trade either Devo OR Snuggy plus others

i personally think Devo and Snugerud have 30 goal potential as well as Bolduc (with more ice time). I am not necessarily saying we should trade Kyrou but Dobson is very intriguing.

[IsDurbanodoingtime]

Yah. Again. A stupid take and why this board is the go to for insight and info. I guarantee Rutherford would be working at Arby's if he didn't regularly check this board for info/insight. There are a whole host of reasons (valid or not) as to why Armey might deal Kyrou. Roster age is not one of them.

Haha, that one had me shaking my head as well.

I don't necessarily disagree with the "calculus" though

It's a risk (counting on Snugg/Bolduc/etc.), but I like the idea of a deal centered around Kyrou and Dobson. Maybe a 3rd team gets involved, but Dobson+Pageau for Kyrou+Faulk/Leddy could make sense.

Two other reasonable ideas are a deal with Buffalo, and a deal with NJ for Nemec+Mercer.

I also think there's risk in standing pat, but that's still no reason to force a deal.

I thought the same thing when i heard that on 101 this morning.

I just went through the roster real fast, counted like 10 guys or so who are 25 or under, 14 under 30 and majority of them are 'good players' and guys who will only improve hopefully.

Whats this clown consider a 'young' roster? You need 20 guys under 30 lol?

[Harry S Deals]

Id be shocked if Army moves Kyrou but i think in the realm of possibilities. Unless something productive is coming back in the form of a RW scorer then the Blues forward group would be in a bit of trouble. Theres not much in FA pool, Brock Boeser? Marner? That would leave Snuggie as the only true RW shooter on the roster besides Thomas and Sunny.....

[LuvthaBlues]

Ok, so he "joins the board" just because his NTC kicks in in a week and speculation on what teams are speculating?

Granted, sometimes these rumor mill reporters like to publish this type of leading info because they have been receiving intel on this info and don't want to directly say so for fear of exposing sources or burning bridges, but this feels like a pretty big clickbait leap to me.

Bolduc and Buch both play right wing. If you are saying someone needs to be right handed to play right wing, that's not true. The Panthers just won the cup twice in a row with only 2 right-handed forwards.

Why would you be shocked if the Blues traded from a position that they have a surplus in to fill other needs?

[STL fan in MN]

Interesting that Kryou wouldn’t have been on Frank’s board at all and now all of a sudden he’s #2. I mean, the NTC kicking in July 1 is pretty well known so it makes me wonder if Frank has actually heard anything surrounding Kyrou…but he doesn’t actually say so in his blurb. So could very well just be clickbait fodder that’ll be forgotten as plenty of these guys will obviously be traded.

As for a silly sentence about the Blues not being young…sometimes guys that need to sound like they closely follow all 32 teams end up saying dumb things. Case in point, Frank writes this about the Hawks in his blurb about Connor Murphy:

And suddenly, the Blackhawks have too many defensemen. They might have even more if somehow Matt Schaefer falls to No. 3 in the Draft.

I mean, come on. Schaefer isn’t going 3rd.

Also, a quick look at roster ages finds the Blues as the 16th oldest at 28.44 years old on average. Obviously rosters are in flux right now and this can and will change but they’re right in the middle of the pack. Oddly enough, the only team with an average age older than 30 is Edmonton.

[Lloyd Braun]

It would have to be one hell of a trade return to include him in a trade.
His similarity score is close with Martin Nečas.
Nečas was the key piece in the Mikko Rantanen trade.

At Kyrou's age, speed and goal scoring ability, we should expect an enormous return as well.

[ManitobaBlues]

At this point, the Blues must seriously evaluate whether the current roster is capable of getting past teams like Edmonton, Vegas, Colorado, and Dallas in the Western Conference Finals—both next season and the year after. These are the top contenders we’ll need to overcome if we want to make another run at the Stanley Cup.

I believe Dylan Holloway could become our version of Sam Reinhart—a key two-way contributor. I also see Devo and Snuggerud as legitimate 30-goal threats, while Bolduc and Neighbours are developing nicely. Combined with Thomas, Buchnevich, and a solid fourth line, our forward depth should hold strong.

If the opportunity arises, I would trade Jordan Kyrou one-for-one for Noah Dobson. Elite defensemen like Dobson rarely become available, and unless the Blues miss the playoffs and secure a high draft pick, acquiring a player of his caliber through the draft is unlikely. We can replace Kyrou’s goal production with the young offensive talent rising through the system—and we shouldn’t overlook Stenberg, who has the potential to be a real force in the playoffs.

[leedog68]

Maybe they should trade him for someone slower if they cannot find someone faster than Schenn to play with Kyrou? That makes about as much sense.
