[Rumor] Drouin to STL?

[STLblues]

I'd rather see a deal with a team like EDM involving Backes/Shatty for Yakupov/Nurse.......I'm just totally randomly building that but it makes better sense for both teams involved.....

Nurse isn't going anywhere. Edmonton has some pretty high hopes pinned on the youngster and believe he can be a dominant D. Obviously, it's going to take a few years (if ever) to get there.

I wouldn't be surprised if Drouin stayed with TB.

How good do you all think Fabbri can be? Does he have 70 point juice?

Every time I've seen him, he's shown flashes of brilliance, and like others have said, an engine that doesn't quit.

Whenever I see a question like this I almost always pick the under. It's not a knock against Fabbri at all because 70 points is a tall order these days. Only 19 players made it there last year. Aside from a special few prospects I don't like to project anyone to be a future top-20 scorer in the entire NHL.

Does anyone know how credible this is? Because to me it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

For what it's worth, my guess is that any takers for Drouin would l likely have to accept some kind of salary dump from TB as well. I don't foresee a neat one-for-one like the RyJo/Jones deal.

Clean swap Drouin for Hampus Lindholm

Orrrrrr... Given Yzerman's familiarity from the Olympics, I wonder if he's talked to San Jose about Vlasic at all... Carle + Drouin for Vlasic and a pick?

vlasic is worth more than drouin, adding carle just makes it that much worse, and then adding the pick makes it even more terrible lol

Every rumor about a young forward being moved, I post and suggest that the Devils should pursue and I'll do it again here.

Larsson is a good place to start for a Drouin deal, no? Have to think Hedman would be a great guy to help him take that next step.

i dont see the devils trading larsson, they just re-signed him longterm and feel he could develop into a #1.

jones was just trading for a #1C...i dont see drouin being enough even as desperate as the devils are for offense.

severson + could be a possibility?

Edmonton should be all over Shattenkirk like a fat kid on a smarty.

I think it's a mistake to assume that because St. Louis dangled Shattenkirk for RyJo means that they would dangle him for just anybody.

This.

The Blues are still in Win-Now mode (well, if they can get healthy) - I don't see them trading their (arguably) best defenceman, if they are serious about contending for the Cup...

Shattenkirk, Fabbri, draft pick for Malkin.

Shattenkirk, Fabbri, draft pick for Malkin.

That would leave Pittsburgh with only 5 NHL worthy forwards though. On the bright side, that would give them 4 NHL level defencemen!

I think a 3-way trade might be in the works..some cap space is going to be made!!
