Kyrou trade scenario

[The Average Gatsby]

Kyrou, Suter(½ retained), 2027 1st(lottery protected)

to Dallas for Jason Robertson(extended 8×12)

Dallas can't afford the contract that Robertson is looking for. The have about 16m in cap space next year with 17 players and no obvious contracts to move to clear some cap. Kyrou could replace most of his production for 4m less. Suter gives them much needed middle six depth.

Robertson is the type of player the Blues desperately need.

Robertson would cost more from the Blues. Probably Kyrou and Parayko.

Robertson would absolutely cost more than just Kyrou. But Dallas probably wouldn’t be interested in Parayko. Why would Dallas want to take back 14M in salary if they don’t want to sign Robertson for 12M?

Why would Robertson choose the St.Louis Blues?

Start there

I wouldnt put JR up there with top players. Not sure why--maybe im wrong. Just doesnt seem like a 12M player. Id pass.

Agreed. But he wouldn’t choose the Blues anyways

It was already explained to you. Try to keep up.

According to your tired act their best move is to just fold up shop and shut down the franchise as there is no hope under any circumstances.

You seem very upset he wouldn’t choose stl.

Not upset at all. You don't know that to be the case at all. Just more drivel.

OK, now you reply one more time so that you win and I'll move on to something more worthy of my time.

Because money.

They can move lots of cash (Kyrou, Faulk) and squeeze him on the same line as assist-man Thomas.

He’s going to get lots of offers with different contract structures. Again, why would he choose the St. Louis Blues?

Then you name them. I already gave my answer and it’s not all that complicated.

He’s a RFA that doesn’t have trade protection so his offers are going to be somewhat limited.

He’s still RFA next season. He’s going to sign with the stars or whoever trades for him unless he wants to sit out for the year.

It won’t be the blues and yes he is only RFA for a short time

In other words, you can’t argue the point and will dwell on it much longer than the 5 seconds it took me to give an answer to your initial question.

Naturally, you must have an explanation why the Great One chose to reside here and not The Great Jason Robertson. However, no I doubt anyone cares to hear the opinion of someone who argues the First ever sweep of a Historic Presidents Trophy Winner in the First Round isn’t the greatest collapse in NHL History.

You’d just doom loop over and over and sign off with “Laughing” because you need someone to laugh at the forum joke.

There are far worse places to get paid than StL. Until recently, the team has been consistently competitive. You get to play with Thomas (no way theyre bringing in a sniper and then trading Thommer), one of the best high danger setup men in the League, and supportive fans.

Buy a McMansion out in Ladue, send kids to Chaminade, be royalty in a community that is known both for worshipping athletes but also not putting them in a fishbowl. Everyone knows this.

Robertson wants Rantanen money, and Dallas wont pay for two Rantanens. Everyone is talking about it.

Oh, and MO's governor wants to repeal state income tax, giving us that competitive advantage also...

[a smell of green grass]

Robertson is not a good skater, and we have too many of those already.

I would trade him for Kyrou, but I'd prefer a young fast skater over Robertson.
