Blues acquire Rosen in trade with Capitals for Schueneman

  1. So, we traded a 30-year old career AHL player, for a 31-year old career AHL player. Both have had some stints with the big club. They’re both LHD.

    OK.

  2. What is the front office smoking.
    Schueneman was the our best D in the AHL. Like what does this trade accomplish?
    Feels like a wash

  3. Low key a very good move. I mean if either one of these guys were to be thrown into a big role, something is very wrong. But for what they are, this is smart.

    Rosen may or may not be any better than Schueneman, but Rosen knows the Blues players and their system. This move is about having stability and depth for a leaky blue line. If you need an AHL tier veteran up in a pinch to back fill, I’m good choosing familiarity.

    Not a game changing move by any means, but just a good smart move.

  4. Gimme Rosen as our 7th over Kessel all day however with Springfield being complete ass I could see this move being for them.

  5. Does that mean Mailloux going down? He’s the only one that doesn’t need to clear waiver. Tucker wouldn’t get send down for sure, Kessel might. They just might keep Rosen in the AHL, but why even traded out Schueneman when both players are more or less the same… Serviceable, but more of a 7/8th defensemen role.

  6. I was thinking they were going to bring Suter back, but this is an option to help the back end.

  7. Surely I can’t be the only one who’s realizing he played 49 games with us in 22-23? I knew he played a good chunk of the season in our lineup, but I would have guessed around a couple dozen games from my memory lol. I suppose that means I didn’t remember him either being a major liability on the ice or a major offensive contributor (though he did manage to notch 18 points which isn’t bad at all for a 3rd pairing guy). I’ll take a stable journeyman in the 7 spot if he’s needed again. Assuming he hasn’t fallen off a cliff, I like this trade just fine.
