CHECK THE FUCKING CHART!!!!!!!!!!

Very exciting day for me. Chayka likes the right kind of players.

Man, I’ll take it, but how pathetic.

I want to kill Treliving just so that he can roll in his grave over this one.

Honestly a little better of a return than I was expecting. I thought he’d go for just one second or third round pick. With maybe a 6th or 7th rounder tossed in.

Huh, so both picks are in this year’s draft. That’s nice too.

I figured something like this or a 2 and a 4, just good to have him out.

Would have been brutal to start the season with him, where he clearly doesn't fit.

Both picks this year is nicer that’s 4 top 75 picks.

Ideally we could flip a couple for a player.

Yeah or maybe a 2027 4th and 2028 3rd or something like that. Getting two 2026 picks is a steal.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

At least both 3rds are this year.

Let’s hit on one.

 

[Kritter]

what are the odds we are taking a goalie in the 3rd round?

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Im impressed both picks are this year.

Raise your hand if you know what the Blues are doing.

Some GM's think you should draft a goalie in the mid rounds every year

Love seeing Chayka clean out Brad's trash. So exciting to have a gm with the complete opposite mentality.

For Brandon Carlo maybe.

 

[Volcanologist]

clears Carlo's 4+ million off the cap too

i agree with this if you have an extra pick or 2 in the mids...

 

[soco22]

Actually wouldn’t have minded two picks in next years draft as I think that would be better trade chips at the deadline coming up vs taking the picks ourselves.

We gotta be very competitive this year if we want to ensure best chance to keep 34 around with an extension.
