Probably a pass. Turcotte is of little interest, Spence is too small and STL already has enough of that on the blue line. There needs to be more especially if STL retains on Buch.

STL will probably be in the market for “new chance” players, low risk high reward similar to the Kapanen and Vrana situations.

Dont know if we have room for both, but if we decide to run with Ned, I dont think this is a bad return.

I think we can do better. I mean the 2nd I think we will both agree is going to be a standard piece.

Here you got a 5'7" center and a 4th liner.

Neither one of which is really appealing. Really it's like scraping the bottom of the barrel as far as return.

I'd rather get back a LDH prospect/young player from a team like NJ or OTT. The penguins don't need any help brining in AHL and replacement level guys.

Although I agree, the only reason we may not get more is because there will be a decent amount of goalies on the market.

Gibson, Markstrom, Gustavsson, Saros, Binnington/Hofer, Vejmelka, Merzlikins & Ullmark are all guys who have been mentioned in trade talks.
The teams who could have interest in acquiring a goalie would/could be EDM, LAK, COL, NJD, PHI, BUF, DET, OTT & TOR, and some of these are stretches, so because there are so many available goalies, and only some of these teams really need to starter, it might drop values overall.

In almost every case there the team that moves out a goalie is going to need to replace one. Look at Markstrom who is going to fill the spot? Wolf, He had a .893 save% last year at the NHL level. He's not ready for a full time role yet. That same is true with Saros, who replaces him?
The same is true down the line. Almost every case there is the same. You look at Merzlikins, he struggled worse than Jarry last year. That's a hard contract to move because of it, even CBJ fans know that.
The one guy on there you can count is Ullmark.
There are just more holes than there goalies. The teams who are looking don't want to fill with the likes of Merzlikins as most of them are trying to be playoff teams. I mean EDM, LAK, COL, NJ, DET, and TOR were either in or were close and wanted to be in last year. They will be looking for a better goalie than guys like Merzlikins and Givson who's fallen off.

So while I agree there are goalies on the Market, it's just musical chairs. The teams who have a guy to move in, need to move a guy out to do it, like the penguins. But a lot of them aren't in a hurry because they don't have to be. Like STL doesn't need to move Binnington because Hofer is on a league min deal. They can wait it out and see what happens and they probably will.

So the market I think is more scarce than you realize.
