Re: Phil Kessel. Would you?

Would be nice to have a 40 goal guy again, but seven years from now that contract will be quite the albatross. I think that's exactly right. I feel like Kessel would be great for us for the next 3 years or so. After that? Yikes. His actual salary next season is $10 mill, which seems a bit steep for...

Re: Waiting in the wings

Obviously it depends on who is left. But if we assume only Backes leaves for the sake of this conversation, I'd put the order of probability at

Petro
Steen
Shatty
Tarasenko
Stastny
Schwartz

Really I'd be quite surprised if it weren't one of the top 3.

Re: Blues sign Schmaltz

First good news since....I don't know. That hold out and sign with the Hawks rumor made so much sense and is the exact type of thing we're all used to happening at this point. I will not miss it.

Re: Oshie for....

I heard somewhere that Washington would be looking for a RW for the Ovechkin Backstrom line and thought they'd inquire about Oshie. In dreamland I'd make an Oshie+ offer for Carlson and deal with the first world problem of having too many right handed D.

Re: Tarasenko or Kane

For those of you who think Malkin is a playoff god just go to the Pittsburgh board and see how they ripped on him these past few playoffs. I know he won a playoff MVP several years ago but Phil Esposito said himself that collectively Russians are great but individually they're overrated. I think an...

Re: Tarasenko or Kane

I love Tarasenko, but Kane is the best player on what has been arguably the best team in the world for the past 5 years or so. Gotta take Kane. Have to disagree about Kane being the best player on the Hawks. Swap Toews for Kane in the OP's question and I'd imagine its nearly unanimous that everyone...

Re: New fast and reckless Blues

Jesus, we're a collection of fans and we can see this shit. Some have more hockey experience than others (coaching, playing or both), but even Joe Fan can see that these guys are lost. At least now we won't have to deal with the national idiots telling everyone how great the Blues are. That ship ha...

Re: Tarasenko or Kane

Tarasenko has youth and a yet unknown salary that will surely be well below Kane's 10.5 million starting next season On his side. Malkin has his name on the Conn Smythe trophy to dispute the whole Russians aren't clutch thing. Given the youth and contract, I'd take Tarasenko for the next 7 or 8 year...

Re: NBC sports: Hitch staying

I guess if true I'm ok with this, although I've really had to talk myself into it. While the last few postseasons indicate we have a long ways to go, this is still a team with immediate championship aspirations. While some may rightfully disagree, I'm not sure any of the alternatives to Hitch are b...

Re: So after watching the Army post season presser....again

One of the best things each player can do is build off their mistakes. I have no doubt some of these players are gone by October, but I really don't want to see Backes or Stastny gone. If we get rid of Backes, well, we get rid our biggest, most physical top 9 forward. If we get rid of Stastny, we'r...

Re: Does anybody not want Babcock?

I'm certainly in the pro-Babcock group. I thought it was a pipe dream a few weeks ago and still think its very unlikely but yes, I'd be very happy if he picks the Blues tomorrow. As for Hitch, I've been of the mind that he's probably better than all of the non-Babcock options, however I do think it...

Re: Cheating in sports

I don't recall any specific allegations, but haven't there been whispers about bigger, slower less skilled teams taking measures to keep the ice softer and choppier, therefore limiting the advantage of faster more skilled teams? To me that kind of stuff isn't a huge deal. In baseball, this would be ...
