Also holy damn Buffalo now has a combined total of 10 1st round picks between the 2014 and 2015 NHL draft! Now that's how you rebuild a team! So many picks can be used to get NHL ready players and superstars it's amazing of all the opitions they have. Plus if the islanders fail this year they got a top 5 pick and if another team fails so bad next year and that pick turned out to be the lottery pick for Conor McDavid oh man!

That's one Ranger. Now for Captain Cally. I love Captain Cally as much as the next guy, but if you are telling me that, I can trade him for St.Louis straight up, I'd do it

I'd be really surprised if the Rangers are able to deal Cally for Martin St. Louis straight up.

No way would it be straight up. Probably have to throw in a player like Kreider and a 2nd round pick or something.

Plus St. Louis has trade value since he's great and a universally respected hockey player and leader. Like he's worth a high valued prospect and 1st rounder easily or two above average depth players. Dude is probably going to retire at 41-44. If St. Louis wants to win the cup this year they need to trade for St. Louis. I just want to see St. Louis wearing a St. Louis jersey that says says St. Louis and St. Louis on the back

The reason that I don't see Ott resigning in St. Louis is that he's kinda redundant as far as a bottom-6 guy. I mean, you have Brendan Morrow for veteran leadership/PK/defensive ability. Max Lapierre is the resident troll and on the few times Ott fights, you have guys like Ryan Reaves, Barret Jackman, Roman Polak, David Backes, etc for that. I guess Ott would be good enough for faceoffs, but you could easily send a guy like Backes, Morrow, or Oshie for important defensive zone faceoffs. I don't really know where Ott could go, but I can easily see him going back to Dallas. I can even see him going to LA if we get rid of Stoll. I'm not saying that we would, but if we traded Stoll for somebody during the trade deadline, I would love to see Ott in a Kings jersey. He'd be a great 3/4th line center kinda like what Stoll is already.

Ott is a kind of player that Cup Contending teams have on their 3rd and 4th lines who can play 2nd or heaven forbid 1st if injuries were to occur. I just forgot how nasty gritty the St. Louis Blues already are without Ott. God damn I hope all blockbuster trades happen in trade deadline and not before since this year is probably going to be epic thanks to the raise in the Salary Cup, Olympics, playoff competition everywhere, and long time contenders falling apart and long time sucky teams becoming the new contenders.
Also I wonder since Smid is playing so bad in Calgary is it possible to trade Bryz for Smid? Like the goalie situation in Calgary is pretty bad and I'm sure they would love to have a chance of signing Bryz for next season. I'm just paranoid Scrivens might sign with the Flames next season because Burke and Calgary doing better on the rebuild then Edmonton imo.

Honestly, I don't know if Ryan Miller will resign with the Blues because Jake Allen appears to be the Blues goalie of the future. I think Allen is close to being ready to take over as the Blues #1 goalie within the next 12 months.

What they could do is also trade Brian Elliot or let him walk at the end of the season and sign Miller to a 2-3 year contract. They could then make Allen the official back-up and have Miller groom him a bit more. By the time Miller walks, he's in his late 30s and Jake Allen would be in his prime since he'd be in his mid-20s.

I just think this St. Louis desperation to win the cup this year and increase revenue and value on their team. Especially when they have a boatload of young players who are going to demand big contracts and they've always been a non spending team. Like it's surprising to see them only ranked 28th on Forbes most valuable team despite having a great hockey fan base and longevity in St. Louis and are a winning franchise that hosted many hall of fame players. Plus isn't their owner desperately trying to sell the team?
So yeah I wouldn't be surprised if this intent was just to be an expensive rental or not.

Jaromir Jagr scored his 700th career goal against the Islanders today. Congrats Jagr!

Actually, the Blues were sold right around the time of the lockout to an ownership group led by Tom Stillman. Stillman has shown a willingness to spend up closer to the cap than the previous owner. Since Stillman took over they locked up Pietrangelo, Boumeester, Backes and Steen to long-term deals.

They should get Cornelison to do RAW on Monday.
Also, I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that CM Punk is probably somewhere inside Soldier Field right now.
