St. Louis Blues Engaging In Trade Talks On Vince Dunn

January 26, 2021 at 6:01 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee 18 Comments

After the St. Louis Blues lost 6-3 to the Los Angeles Kings on Sunday, head coach Craig Berube took the podium to answer questions. When asked about Vince Dunn’s tough night, he let slip some of his feelings on the defenseman’s rough night.

Gotta play better. Can’t get walked one-on-one. I dunno. We’ll keep that in house and talk to him about it. 

It seems as though the house is leaky, as both Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet and Frank Seravalli of TSN reported on trade talks the team has had revolving around the young player. Friedman writes that there were a “lot of trade talks about him” before the team signed Dunn to a one-year, $1.875MM deal and notes that the Blues are believed to be looking for a first-round pick in return. Seravalli meanwhile admits it’s not “inevitable” that the team trades him, reports that the Blues have engaged with teams in discussions about him, and suggests Dunn’s “time might be done” in St. Louis.

Dunn, 24, has struggled in the defensive end of the rink but posted seasons of 24, 35, and 23 points through the first three years of his career. The 2015 second-round pick is a strong offensive weapon that could be valuable to a team that can offer sheltered minutes with the right partner. That appears to not be in St. Louis anymore, though obviously it’s not clear when a trade will be completed, if at all.

In the meantime, it appears as though he may be a healthy scratch or at least lose his powerplay duties for the Blues this evening. Berube explained his reasoning even further to Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic, saying that Dunn “has to keep the game in front of him more than anything” and limit the turnovers he has been known to give up.

    I like Dunn. I think it would be a mistake to give up on him.

      It’s too bad. He had such a great future. But Mikkola has earned the chance and will be fine. Getting a high draft pick for Dunn would be a steal

    He’ll be traded in 2 or 3 weeks after he builds back up more value. Always funny to read these rumors heating up when a guy is playing his worst. Nobody is giving up a 1st for Dunn right now.

    Any chance of a Vince Dunn for
    Nolan Patrick swap? Or is it a pipedream.

      Pipedream. Patrick is playing very well for the Flyers right now & I don’t see them trading Patrick for another left-handed defenseman.

    Would Dunn look good with Weber in MTL, or is he really that bad defensively

    I think Dunn has real value, too bad roslovic Was already traded. I think a second and 4th rounder would get it done. I doubt anybody’s giving up a first or good young prospect. Maybe defensive needy Pittsburgh would be a good trade partner

    Getting a 1st round pick for Dunn could be difficult if the Blues are scratching him or taking responsibilities away from him. Hard to convince a team that he is worth that when you don’t believe in him enough to play him or give him more responsibilities

      There you go, somebody thinking!
      Because I can’t believe any GM is giving up anything close to a 1st rd pick for a player the coach is actively saying is having a hard time defending.

    Does anybody actually watch St. Louis games? Does Craig Berube open his eyes behind the bench? All of this was true two years ago. All of this is bullshit now. Dunn is an absolute master of controlled exits and entries – not an easy commodity to come by, especially at <$2M. Also… if you're going to prematurely give up on a 2nd round pick that anyone with eyes can recognize as a legit NHL player, then good luck getting anything better than a 2nd round pick back. Idiots.

      He’s also a master of giving the puck up at the worst times that leave his goaltender out to dry. 3 turnovers by Dunn directly led to 3 goals for the Kings the other night. Its not the first time either. Like the article says, he needs sheltered minutes with the right partner.

    So you’re asking for a first rounder yet you drafted him in second round? A second you shall have.

      Honestly this is the dumbest take ever. That’s like saying the Blues shouldn’t have given up a 4th round pick for Gunnarsson because he was drafted in the 7th round. So he couldn’t possibly be worth more than a 7th.

      Exactly. Consider in baseball guys like Albert Pujols or Mike Piazza who were 16th and 62nd round picks. Yeah it’s baseball, but still lots of people picked ahead of them. After time your draft placement doesn’t matter. Players’ values go up and down with time, experience, injuries, etc.

    The Penguins have all four left defensemen who opened the season on the roster injured. Dunn makes sense but not for a first round pick. Berube’s post-game analysis makes that all too clear. Dunn will not solve the Penguins issues. They need to get Malkin in shape.

      Think they would give up a second rounder? I mean Pittsburgh is hurting. They just signed yannick Weber, who at this stage of his career is not very good. I think if the blues are offered anything near a second then they have to pull the trigger.
