However, you recognize, I by no means acquired the sense that the Blues had been like, we have now to commerce him. I believe, you recognize, one factor that Doug Armstrong does possibly greater than a few of his colleagues, you recognize, different GM across the league, is he’s snug like gauging costs. I believe he likes to know what the worth at any given time of a few of his finest gamers are. He’s prepared to contemplate these strikes, even when he doesn’t make them.
You realize, we noticed the identical factor occur with Braden Schenn on the commerce deadline, the place finally, the Blues Captain wasn’t moved however, however his identify was on the market, and for good motive.

I additionally suppose Doug Armstrong to GM, he doesn’t thoughts the truth that may mild just a little fireplace beneath a few of his gamers. Simply, you recognize, it’s clearly essentially the most snug factor listening to your identify bandied about there.
So what do I make of the Jordan Kyrou, you recognize, rumors.

We’ll see if, if something goes there.
However, I imply, should you’re speaking a few Kyrou commerce at this stage, I imply, that’s, that’s a gifted younger participant. Places up numerous factors, I imply, we’re speaking a few blockbuster. And so, you recognize, I wouldn’t rule it out, however I do suppose the, the share probability of it occurring went down significantly after we acquired to July 1st.”
