2017 1st round pick (STL)

The Blues are very happy to add a top line winger to their team without having to give up one of their younger wingers in Coyle or Nelson.

Thanks for the quick and easy negotiations Jiri

I did a few of these deals last year moving out Bobby Ryan and TJ Oshie for younger assets.

They are interesting deals as having more assets 5o work with is really important...it's the currency.

At the same time though the youth you get can be really up in the air for how they'll turn out.

IOverall this looks even but end of the year will be a telling story.

Seems like an overpay on St. Louis' part. Having said that, Okposo is a great winger and I get the desire to add him to your team.
