Lol blues aren't targetting older players. We are trying to get younger and make space for our younger players. Jarnkrok isn't someone we will target

Chicago declines, WAY too much for a rental

A player who is very versatile, it’s very good defensively and plays PK for 2.1M will always be useful on any team. If the blues didn’t accept they’d be crazy

First off, that’s not way too much. When’s the last time a 100 point player was traded? If I remember correctly it was a swap Tkachuk for huberdeau, weager and a pick. That’s how much a 100 point player can get you. 2 firsts a second and a third plus a guy who plays bottom 6 on CHICAGO is just about right for Marner. Marner touches every facet of the game and he’s only 27. He’s in his prime. As far as a “rental” goes, there were reports that said that he’d waive his NMC to go to Chicago. Not likely he’d leave his hometown team and go to another team and then hit free agency the next year, wouldn’t make any sense. He’s re sign and Chicago could afford him. The best young goal scorer with a top 3 player maker in the league sounds great to me. Look what Mitch did with Matthews in Toronto with setting him up.
