Blues Digest states the Blues may try to acquire Stamkos

[stlblue06]

The podcast stated that Nashville would give him away for a song just to get him off the payroll. They stated even if he's not the player he was in Tampa that he still has a great shot and could help out on the power play. He would have two more years after this year on his contract.

It feels like Nashville would have to retain a bit then I’d be open to it. He’s been struggling again this year but I’d suggest looking at his game tying goal last night at MINN with less than a second left.

An absolute missile of a shot! The Blues could really use that on the PP….Can’t rely on a guy with 4-5 games of NHL experience and another rookie who hasn’t figured out how to use his 1 timer yet at this level.

They also talked about 50% retention.

Overpriced vet on the back side of his career. Sounds like Army.

[Harry S Deals]

To those who want Buch gone understand the following

FULL NO TRADE CLAUSE

HE ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE

This is in no way a guarantee IF Army could find a taker several of these guys may want to leave not too many guys want to spend their prime on a bad team if they think thats the way this is going to go

[SameOldBlues]

Just what the Dr. ordered, more over the hill entitled vets with no hunger, sign me up!

[BalotelliMassive]

To those who want Buch gone understand the following

FULL NO TRADE CLAUSE

HE ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE

1 - that's a disgusting stipulation on his contract
2 - Armstrong will just put him in the minors until he agrees to waive it

Why? They all know even if this year doesn't go as planned the future is incredibly bright. There's way too much talent on this team currently and in the pipeline for it to be playing the way it is.

I doubt any of them would request or even really accept a trade

He's not going to be sent, nor would he likely accept the assignment in the minors.

That's the minimum price of doing business to not having a guy go to UFA.

If they want a player gone they will find a way, they simply wont play him they will cut minutes, bunch of ways to make a deal i wouldnt worry too much about it

I'm not worried about anything. That isn't Dougs M.O. nor has it been the Blues.

If it was they would have done it to Krug and they didn't.

Only way id be interest in Stamkos is (50% retained)
we send the Texier and maybe a late pick.

Stamkos Thomas Snuggy
Holloway Suter Kryou
Schenn Dvo Buch
Walker, Bjustad, Joseph
Torp, Sunny

If the rumor started with Friedman, I wouldn’t give it a second thought. He doesn’t really report rumors anymore, he merely speculates on garbage.

1 - Completely agree

2 - Youve been around here long enough to see how much Army and Monty transparently love and adore Buch. Unfortunately he’s not going anywhere and Monty’s actions and amount of icetime tells us he sees Buch as more of the solution than a problem, which is mind boggling.

True, but that's kind of the reason it should come with a lot of credence. Since he doesn't rumor monger anymore, when he reports something that should mean it has a lot of legitimacy behind it.

Quite frankly I can see this being something that gets done, especially if it will be a giveaway for both teams. Thomas needs someone who will just shoot the freaking puck when they enter the zone. I thought for sure it would be Snuggerud, but he seems to be more content to pass it, just like Kyrou and Buch have become.

Those 3 combined should get you 9-12 shot a game on average. Are they even averaging 6 between the 3 of them?
