Still a decent producer and minute muncher in STL. Solid upgrade if true

1st and 3rd and Justin holl to blues.

Steve just wanted to finally sleep in on day 1 of the draft
RG6EX
Holl going back to St. Louis as well
crazyrazy_
We gave up holl too. Oh darn
BellsBeersy
Holy smokes we actually did something to strengthen our D group

I’ve been a huge critic of Yzerman but LFG. I’m glad he did SOMETHING. Hopefully we can get over the hump now

Begging Steve to make a meaningful move and then freaking out about what he gave up is peak fandom

not giving up any prospects is nice, fuck the picks. The system is supposed to be so good, lets roll.

Anyone saying it’s too much has not paid attention to the other trades from the past 2-3 days

Man this is polarizing. Pretty sure the ones that are most upset would also be the loudest if we did nothing at all.
He is instantly our third best defender aside from the odd big game from Chariot. Our first was gone no matter what trade we made. We addressed an absolute need.

The fact Holl is going back the other way is a Yzerman Masterclass

The Rangers didn’t trade Vincent Trocheck.
Guys this is good. He’s playing 23 mins a night, barely a negative on a bad STL team. He slots in our #2RD behind Seider to shield ASP for this and next year.
The price is the price, literally Nic Roy went for a 1st and 4th.. this is way better than doing nothing

A forward would have been nice, but this is a damn good trade. A solid middle pair D, not a rental, and we don’t give up any of our prospects.
Damn good deal.

Im fine with it. Enough in the pipeline I’d rather have a skater who can play now than a late 1st round pick who won’t play till 2030

I hate sending first rounders but honestly, it’s time to do something. Would rather swing and miss than stand pat and end up shitting the bed

Least favorite part of this trade is it opens the door for Yzerman to sign Holl in free agency /s
Holy smokes 33 year old is worth a 1st and 3rd round pick?!
Oh we paid for them to take boat anchor Holl too. Nvm

People acting like it was possible to acquire a right shot D who has very solid metrics and counting stats while playing 22 minutes a night in all three phases without giving up a 1st are exhausting.
Faulk is gonna be a solid player here, in a spot we badly needed a solid player in.
GottWhat
Since we just got a 3rd with our trade with Pittsburgh, it’s almost like we traded Holl, Soderblom and a 1st for Faulk. I like it.
