Default Massive trade between St Louis Blues and Calgary Flames

To Calgary:
Erik Karlsson (73)
JT Miller (78)
Tomas Hertl (73)
Thatcher Demko (78)
Pontus Aberg (62)

Buff 2nd 21

To St Louis:
Mark Giordano (74)
Niklas Backstrom (70)
Dylan Larkin(75)
Brian Elliott (81)
Chandler Stephenson (68)
Egor Sokolov
STL 1 22
2 million dollars in cap


So my reasons are numerous, and many. Things just weren't working out with the core that I had. So I wanted to make a change


In the short term this hurts Stephenson is out for about another week. Larkin for a months.



I hated giving up Demko, but he couldn't win a game to save his life. Larkin is young. Gio has some really good stats. I said I wanted to rebuild my prospect base which was pretty empty. Sokolov looks like a good prospect and I get my first round pick in 22 back.



Plus I ship out Aberg.

btw thanks to Kipper for his patience as I stumbled around on this one.


And showed a lot of indecision.

The only potential regret I see in this deal is the swap of Demko and Elliot.

Yeah, that was one thing that kept me up at night, but getting a good pick in a good draft year, and getting Sokolov helps some as he's had some nice progression in juniors.

Honestly was just looking for a massive shakeup and Captain is always down for a trade which is great. Maybe Miller and Elias can replicate some of their real life chemistry in the sim for me.

Hopefully this can get the team going in the right direction! If not then half these guys will be gone next week.

Nice deal gents. An 11 player, 2 pick deal and Scorp wasn't involved.

Good point. The problem is this deal had a lot of good players in it. Unfortunately this is something Scorp does not have.
