Re: Confirmed: Blues Trade for ROR

The Blues were basically 50% on faceoffs on the PP. You can't get any set plays, you can't get any quick chances doing that. The article also touches on how they did a bad job of funneling pucks to Tarasenko on the PP. Which could explain his dip in numbers and the bad PP as well. If this power pla...

Re: Off-Season Signing & Trades Thread

Troy Brouwer being placed on unconditional waivers by the Flames. When he goes unclaimed, he will be bought out and become a FA. Proving sometimes, you just can't go home. Obviously not in play for the Blues, but I'd imagine there's a landing spot for him somewhere at a big pay cut. Yep, that was a...

Re: Ranking best decades - THN

I'm partial to the 70's but the 80's was definitely the best hockey. The 90's and early 00's were the worst. Some fans like the parity of today's game but I don't. I would like to see a lower cap floor to let the bottom dwelling teams properly develop talent without having to spend extra and bring b...

Re: Blues and Leafs deal brewing?

I liked the last line a lot. "[Andreas Johnsson(wtf?)] and Gardiner would add creativity and production to the impoverished Blues." Those two for Parayko?? The guy wrote this today??? Does he not know about any of our FA signings and trade for ROR? Howard Berger can piss off. That proposa...

Re: Off-Season Signing & Trades Thread

He's not worth it if he returns to the 7 goal guy he was the previous two seasons. Did have an amazing playoffs this year though and he's only 24 so maybe he's only getting better and turns into a 18-20 goal guy. That contract is for more than scoring goals. He means much more to the Caps than just...

Re: Edmundson signs

According to CapFriendly, we have $1,007,345 in cap space with Schmaltz and Lindbohm left to sign. This is with a roster of 23, but with 15 FWDs and 6D. Doing some looking, I'm going to assume that of the 15 forwards they have listed, 2 won't make the opening night roster. My guess is those 2 will ...

Re: Edmundson signs

I assume he will still be an RFA next year, and we'll have JBo off the books by then, which presumably frees up money for a longer-term extension.
2 more years RFA, I think.

Just Schmaltz left to sign?

Re: Kostin article

This thread sure went a different direction than I was expecting it to when I posted the article Let that be a lesson. :lol: I mean, hey, I'd think the Russian kid coming to the US at age 18, learning to play NA style hockey at that age and development stage, and adopting to life in the US at a you...

Re: 3rd jersey?

If any of you guys wear an XL jersey, you can get a Winter Classic jersey on nhl.com right now for $55. I was doing some browsing today, but unfortunately I only wear a large. You can also get a Reebok road TJ Oshie jersey for $44. Again, XL only, but pretty great deal. Thanks for the heads up. I j...

Re: Perron, Bozak, other secondary Blues activity [split from signing & trades]

Here is a list of undrafted players with at least 100 games in the NHL. It includes many award winners and a few HHOFers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_undrafted_NHL_players_with_100_games_played Holy cow, the names on that list is pretty amazing. Belfour, Ciccarelli, Kerr, etc........Geez....

Re: Minor cap space / population problem

UMSLBlues12 wrote:Bizarre stat from Timmerman about our forwards cap hits. We have 7 forwards making 4M or more, 6 who make less than 1M, and none between 1M and 4M. Seems like a pretty weird setup.
That's a great stat. We are keeping stars and youth and getting rid of the shitty contracts for middling players.
