CallawaySabres Posted July 1, 2018 Report Posted July 1, 2018 (edited) About to be announced? Edited July 2, 2018 by CallawaySabres 1 Quote
Hoss Posted July 1, 2018 Report Posted July 1, 2018 Where is this coming from? Their GM today flat out said they were out because of the price and the signing of Bozak. Quote
CallawaySabres Posted July 1, 2018 Author Report Posted July 1, 2018 My buddy in St Louis who is tight with some of the Blues just texted me Quote
Hoss Posted July 1, 2018 Report Posted July 1, 2018 I'm not buying it BUT having Tyler Bozak penciled in as your number two center isn't ideal. I'd expect they hope Thomas to get a good role quickly, though. Quote
dejeanerret Posted July 1, 2018 Report Posted July 1, 2018 (edited) Wouldn’t surprise me if we start seeing some new players. SJ and Islanders to name a few. Bergevin told reporters price is too high. He said “ if the price changes Bots has my number” Edited July 1, 2018 by dejeanerret Quote
That Aud Smell Posted July 1, 2018 Report Posted July 1, 2018 (edited) But I’ve seen Vogl Tweeting quotes from Botterill that make it unequivocally clear that they’re shopping him. How can they bring him back after all this? Per Vogl: Jason Botterill confirms the signing bonus for Ryan O'Reilly isn't due until the end of the day and talks continue. Per Larry Brooks 4 minutes ago: Islanders in on O'Reilly trade talks with Buffalo, we are told. Center is owed $7.5M bonus by midnight. Return package obviously would change from today to tomorrow.

TrueBlueGED Posted July 1, 2018 Report Posted July 1, 2018 It's hard for me to describe the anger I'll feel towards Pegula if we accept a lesser return to avoid paying the bonus. Quote
CallawaySabres Posted July 1, 2018 Author Report Posted July 1, 2018 Just the messenger but not sure why he would text me that Quote
Hoss Posted July 1, 2018 Report Posted July 1, 2018 It's hard for me to describe the anger I'll feel towards Pegula if we accept a lesser return to avoid paying the bonus. I don't think that's what's going on. I think it's just a negotiating tactic. It makes sense. Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted July 1, 2018 Report Posted July 1, 2018 I don't think that's what's going on. I think it's just a negotiating tactic. It makes sense. For sure. I'm just sayin! Quote
dudacek Posted July 1, 2018 Report Posted July 1, 2018 I don't think that's what's going on. I think it's just a negotiating tactic. It makes sense. Yep, pretty sure Botterill is bluffing to create a false deadline. Pretty stock tactic and one I doubt many GMs will fall for. Quote
dudacek Posted July 1, 2018 Report Posted July 1, 2018 Your buddy may just be riding late on the earlier rumours. Or, Perron and Bozak were brought in to fill for Thomas and Sobotka and Armstrong decided he’s going for it now. But I doubt it. Quote

Am I the only one who finds it downright bizarre that St. Louis didn't want to pay Stastny (given what he signed for), but was totally okay paying Bozak? Quote
Huckleberry Posted July 1, 2018 Report Posted July 1, 2018 Bozak and Perron to blues, no room for O'Reilly there any more I think. Am I the only one who finds it downright bizarre that St. Louis didn't want to pay Stastny (given what he signed for), but was totally okay paying Bozak? I'm with you on that :p Quote

Stastny got what, Same term $1.5 more per? If so, I’m with you. Blues seem to be the Regier Sabres. Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 But you can't make a guy sign. If he wanted out of STL he was going to leave regardless. That could have been the case, but I never read anything about him wanting out. Quote
Brawndo Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 Or did they move Stastny out figuring they would be players for Tavares? Quote

Robviously Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 I'll put a guess in. ROR and Nylander for Parayko, Sobotka, and Kyrou This is....probably where we'll end up if it happens. Maybe we throw in a defenseman and get another draft pick back? Quote
inkman Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 Just the messenger but not sure why he would text me that To feel important? Quote
Derrico Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) I'll put a guess in. ROR and Nylander for Parayko, Sobotka, and Kyrou Hope so but I think that's wishful thinking. I would love parayko back tho. I'd be ok with parayko, first and a second. Along with a blues cap dump. Edited July 2, 2018 by Derrico Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 Classy players don't say anything. They just do it. They don't talk in the media about losing their passion for the game. And FWIW, Vegas paid him considerably more money to go play on a better team. Considerably more money than what? Quote
