From a talent/production perspective I get it, but he's only got 2 years left on his deal and is UFA.

How about Hischier+Nemec? Do we need to add, or is that fair value for you?
Blues would have to add
The cost for Hischier alone would be sky high.
So should the ask for Kyrou
Well…there hasn’t been consistency and there has been public inner turmoil with him

That doesn’t help value … especially at that cost financially
K-Money has consistently scored more goals and played more games than Nico while making roughly the same amount on what is going to be (with cap rising) a very good contract for the remaining 6 years of his deal that go through his prime, whereas Nico has 2 years left and then will be a UFA asking for more than Kyrou makes.
When Kyrou can play center then you can compare them.
He won more draws last year than Thomas ever has

It’s not about goals. It’s about direction of franchise. Can you build around him. Can you win with him? Is he built for the playoffs. What’s his fire like now that he got paid. Coachable?

He is a massive dollar commitment

dr0zombie wrote: 26 Jun 2025 14:21 pm Both would be really big summer acquisitions. I feel like the Blues should pass.

Byram is a high skilled player with less than great advanced stats. He has a concussion history with the Avs. And he is on the move again. It feels to me like whatever he wants to make isn't really worth the risk. I fear he is a Torey Krug 2.0.

Dobson is another one I would pass on. Not that he isn't a great acquisition. Because he would cost a lot to get and cost a lot to keep. I don't think the asset cost would be worth the risk. Even at a one for one swap of Kyrou for Dobson.

I would rather the Blues partner with the Devils. I like Kyrou plus for Nemec and Mercer. Nemec to me is a much better pickup than Byram or Dobson.
Statistically, JK has been 100% consistent.

Intangibly, he has vastly improved over time with room for upside in this aspect.

If the Blues move him, they need the same player circumstance in return....a solid, no risk player.
I am not on the side of trading Kyrou. He does seem to be the presumed asset for any trade involving an updated for the defense.

Who is your choice for solid, no risk player?
Maybe Dobson is as close to that as can be expected. I don't know him as a player like a lot of you but his stats are impressive and his age is perfect.
But a few posters here seem a bit wary on what value he should be awarded if landed and just what his imact might be.

Minus 16 on the Isles last year speaks well.

I'm a homer so I'm still holding out hope DA can do something no one is seeing on the radar screen.

That's the truth of it.

We have Broberg, so I’m out on Byram
what about nemec and mercer for kyrou
I don't get why all of you want to trade the guy,
who led the team in goals,
was the team leader in plus minus.
and he led the team in playoff goals with 3,
for mediocre talent.
I'm grateful that you are not our G.M :roll:
You're probably not up to speed on the details that make this particular window of time useful one. Kyrou is not Mike Bossy. He's an adequate first line player with pros and cons and Blues need real talent, not mediocre talent back on D for him which is the whole point. Go look at the list of defensemen who have put up 70 pts at 24 and tell me if the list is mediocre because Dobson is on that list and Dobson-Parakyo makes us a serious contender. Whereas the Blues just drafted two RW 1st round players and within the past 25 games or so those players are showing they are getting ready to take more ice time. Snuggerud is already the superior forechecker.

FWIW I have no interest in Byram. Major interest in Dobson.

Everyone was talking about it….why do you seem so upset?

You’re not everyone.
You look foolish, everyone is talking about it.
Your monkey argument is even worse. You stick up for a player that was suspended for the season based upon the incident….and you swear the guy was innocent.

Inferring is your form of lying….you do it daily. You really seem upset. The forum broke you and many on the forum agree.
You do excel at trolling though. You should, you spend your sad life doing it 24/7.

Unlike you, I don't make a habit of looking at guy's legs.

Nothing "gets to you" . You aren't a fan. You are a troll. Your only purpose in life is to start [shirt] here.
