You like the trade? I am underwhelmed.
- Mentalorgasm5

It’s a decent trade. Would of def likes a top prospect instead. Pick will be a bad one in 1st (still a 1st though), two players were prob cap dumps. Hopefully Thompson turns into a player for us.

If they're moving the pick, too, I hope it's for something better than Patches
- Powerslave

patches big time goal scorer coming off a bad year, 1 of the players we just got and a pick for him would not be unreasonable

Just heard, they may move 1 and the pick, it might happen.

Cool, I appreciate the intel...thanks!

Don't think so but last I heard Patches wants 7 a year.

Blues fans are celebrating that they got rid of Patrik Berglund & Vladimir Sobotka.
- sven233

It helps them in the short term.

What a return for ROR ! I’m speechless. Thompson is a good prospect. Sobotka is a pain in the neck to play against, berglund can shelter Mitts. 1st and a 2nd rounder. Awesome.

The Blues keep Thomas and Kyrou though. Not a fan of Sobotka. Maybe another trade?

I would have taken the 1st + 2nd + Berglund

1st + 2nd + Thompson and Berglund? Solid af
- sbroads24

Berglund is a 30 point forward locked up for 4 more years, kind of feel like he is a camp dump.

I dont know much about Thompson, at 6'5 I am assuming slow?

We have plenty cap $$ now - I’ll take Pach a 4/5 yr deal!

Trade sucks but w/e it is what it is

As I mentioned 7hrs Ago- The Tavares signing had other Teams burning up the phone lines, and yes - the price indeed went up for O’Reilly.
Well played by @BuffaloSabres GM Botteril, he got a nice haul in return.@NHL @NHLNetwork

Trade doesn't suck, we got good players and another 1st and 2nd rounder, loser.

HOLY poop!!!!

It’s offsetting when’ve STL fans don’t seem all that sad about it. Saying great deal by Armstrong.

Basically their 5th best. Prospect, 2 cap dumps of almost 6m for 3 years, and the picks.

Every time someone making decent money is traded, it's called a "cap dump" now? Whether we keep both, one or none, Berglund and Sobotka aren't chumps. Both can play.

Dreger said it was fair and not over the top. Said STL didn’t have to give up any of their premiere prospects.


I’ll be the first..... we should have kept ROR

Sobotka is a cap dump, Berglund can play

Risto to Edm...... 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Youve been complaining about us not having top line players, we just traded for two 30 point forwards. I just fail to see how this makes us any better. We will be a lottery team next year.

Huge return

Sobotka is a cap dump, Berglund can play
- jcragcrumple

Wrong.

Sobotka is one of the best F/O men in the league, is a 30 point guy (for a 3rd/4th liner, I'll take it) and is a pain in the arse.

Sobotka is a cap dump, Berglund can play
- jcragcrumple

Sobotka 31 points last year, Berglund 26 points in 57 games (34 points in 81 the year before).

Well, there is everyone's "Change"!

Personally, I'm meh about the return itself.

If he can turn pieces into Pacioretti then I'm feeling better.
ROR out and a quality leader in!
Culture changing right before your eye's.

Big if though.

1st rounder is cool, Thompson might be alright, Berglund and Sobotka are cap dumps

No it's garbage we couldn't get any of the 3 Elite prospects you get players dump players "nothing players "

Thompson is all right but he's slow has a great shot but how the hell do you trade ROR and not end up with the top prospect
