Flames also say if Blues miss the playoffs, that 1st round pick in 2013 becomes 4th-rounder this year and a 1st rd in 2014 |

Hope the Preds can find a way to get rid of Sergei Kostitsyn.

No it won't. The Blues aren't anywhere near the cap and almost certainly won't be next year either, even with these additions.
The problem is that the Blues are just a relatively cash-poor team. It's not cap space that will hurt them, it's an internal budget. Everyone seems to like this Bouwmeester trade more than I do. He just doesn't strike me as being a top pairing defenseman anymore and in a deep draft, I think that's what you need to justify giving up a 1st round pick and taking on a ton of salary. It tells me that they're probably resigned to losing Shatty in the off-season.

Crosby's Jaw is broke. Penguins still have lots of stars.

I'm not sure if that changes the calculus substantially, but I'd be shocked if either of the guys we gave up amount to anything at the NHL level. But getting a 1st in a very deep 2013 draft is a pretty nice haul in its own right. I'm thinking the Blues desperately need the cash infusion that comes from playoff hockey and are willing to give up the pick to make it happen.

80 minutes left until the trade deadline, only 4 deals. Though most of the major stuff was done earlier.

You joined in Feb and the NHL playoffs start in April, so you were here. It's a good thing you did win one in 2009 after all that tanking you guys did to get Crosby and Malkin in the first place. Bettman would be crying by now if his team hadn't won one by now.

Noticed the Preds picked up Filip Forsberg... he looked pretty good at times during the World Jrs.
