#NHLJets D Toby Enstrom just helped off the ice, smashed stick in anger, after blocking a shot.

yah..St. Louis is looking to be on the downward slope...still could change though and he could be facing his old team in the playoffs.

No surprise.  He's always injured.  At least Chevy has time today to trade for a depth LHD.  Jack Johnson is still out there...

[Colton]

Looks like we're in the market now for Stan Pat...  won't cost any assets at all, and leaves us some cap space...

Yeah, Chevy aggressively pursuing multiple players pre-deadline really made it seem like he was going to do nothing today

Conditions of the picks in Stastny trade:

If Winnipeg's pick is Nos. 1-3 this year, which it won't be, the Blues will get No. 19 overall.

If the Blues don't sign Foley before Aug. 16, 2019, they receive the Jets' 4th rounder in 2020. #stlblues

You know you're getting old when you hear the Jets acquired Paul Stastny, and you get nostalgic about the numerous seasons you watched his dad play   

[blue_gold_84]

Blues also retained 50% of Statsny's contract. Nice!

[blue_or_die]

I have to say, it sure is fun to be in the mix!!

We were in the mix WAY before this acquisition 

[Sir Blue and Gold]

I don't think I really like deadline deals. I get that we paid the going rate but it seems like a lot to give up. Essentially, it's a first, third and probably 4th rounder. Erik Foley is a pretty much a point a game player in the NCAA over the last two seasons.

we've needed another Lshot Dman for quite awhile ....... surprise us again Chevy

Our first is pretty much a 2nd because it?ll be so late in the first round.

Sure, but he still hadn't signed an ELC with the Jets.

I don't think the Jets gave up a lot for a consistent 40-point centre who also performs pretty well in the post-season.

And from the sounds of it, the 4th rounder is only given up on the condition Foley signs with the Blues prior to Aug. 16, 2019.

[blue_or_die]

We are basically at the point where we have a backlog of prospects so giving up a pick here and there now is perfectly fine to do. Ask me this two years ago and I'd have thought it to be asinine, though. We are in a different place now and can afford to make these moves if the hockey brains who run this team think we do.
