What are fans saying about a Timo Meier trade to St. Louis?
Meier is a stud that can keep up with Jordan Kyrou & Robert Thomas. We sign him and manage to clear up some defense issues with it, namely signing Chychrun after moving some real-estate – next season is prettier
The trade is likely a done deal, contingent on him signing an extension. There is no way the Blues pull a move like that for him to not be guaranteed.
The Blues have the cap space to immediately re-sign him with Tarasenko and O’Reilly gone.
