Re: Blues games and Roku

I cut the cord with cable, and switched to Sling TV, going on a year now. The big thing I've noticed is the quality of the streaming device makes a huge difference. The cheap/free Roku Express and the like are junk, they provide terrible video quality. The expensive Roku ($100+) and even Google Chro...

Re: Salary cap up $4.5m to $79.5m

I'm actually a Berglund fan as well - he definitely brings something to the team that would be hard to replace. I sometimes get annoyed that he seems a little loosey-goosey (I'd like to see a bit more intensity), and for center, he gets absolutely no assists . But he's an asset for sure. Just frust...

Re: Random thoughts...

I am also in the group that believes we are not that far away. We lacked supplemental scoring all year but a healthy Fabbri would have made that problem nonexistent. I have no idea who will be available, or if Fabbri can even remotely mirror the player he was prior to the knee problem, so I'm not go...

Re: Random thoughts...

Hold on, hold on, I think I got this. Assuming we aren't getting Tavares, we do the following: 1. Trade Allen, Sobotka, WIN 2018 1st, Kostin to BUF for ROR and the UFA rights to Chad Johnson 2. Trade Parayko to TOR for Mitch Marner 3. Sign UFAs John Carlson (7 x $7M), Chad Johnson (2 x $3M) and Kyl...

Re: Prospects - 2019 Roles

I get that he has value. My point is that we seem to have a surplus of bottom 6 guys and he is just another one of them. There seems to be some optimism with fans that he could be a difference maker and I just don't see it. In my eyes, if he was healthy this entire year, I don't think the season wo...

Re: Karlsson or Tavares - Going all in

I don't really think we're disagreeing anymore. While I don't think the -24 this year is indicative of Karlsson's game right now as that Ottawa team has quit, I think the acquisition cost of Karlsson would be too much. I think he's still great, but to get him you'd have to be giving up major pieces...

Re: Karlsson or Tavares - Going all in

I wasn't necessarily talking about Dunn the player, but rather the amount of offense we get from him at an entry level salary. If you take on Karlsson's cap hit, you're going to lose a lot, whether it's Petro going the other way or someone else. So maybe it was me who worded things poorly, I'm not ...

Re: Karlsson or Tavares - Going all in

Ok, we all like Dunn, but let's pump the breaks here. I don't think Karlsson is a realistic add for the Blues, but if you have a chance to acquire him, you're not letting Dunn get in the way of that. Karlsson is the best offensive defenseman in decades. Dunn is likely to be a very good second pairi...

Re: Karlsson or Tavares - Going all in

Tavares for Stastny plus parts would be great if the Isles don't think they can re-sign him. Moving Stastny in the deal gives us cap space and it gives them an opportunity to extend him at a decent rate, plus I'm sure we have one or more prospects they would love to have. No way to Karlsson, we alre...

Re: The fix?

If only we could recruit the couple/few remaining good posters from over there, there would no longer be any interest in lurking.

Re: The fix?

I think Jake's shoddy goaltending is a direct result of defensive breakdowns. Remember last year when we went through a bad stretch and people were ready to run Jake out of town, but Hutton's numbers weren't any better during that time. Just like the Florida game, when Hutton came in he couldn't st...

Re: Final roster set

https://www.nhl.com/blues/news/blues-assign-3-players-to-ahl/c-294816416 Dunn, Thompson, and Barbashev all sent out during the buy week. Poor kids, everyone else gets a week off and they still have to work! Hmm, I can't think of a good reason to do this except to gain a little cap space. Can't help...

Re: The fix?

I'm not ready to write this season off completely but it's time to start thinking about long-term success. I've been a JBo apologist for awhile, but it's time for him to sit on the bench. Dunn is a major upgrade at this point. Time to get the NTC list put together if it hasn't been done already. For...

Re: Pang on Tarasenko

He has scored 40 goals multiple times without a pure setup guy dishing him pucks. He is not a one-trick pony. I am in the group that believes there is something mental holding him back. He's not confident and he's not having fun out there. He gets frustrated very easily. He'll eventually snap out of...

Re: Caps Overvalued Shattenkirk

I don't understand why Trotz stating a fact is such a bad thing. Just a pretty bad look to trash a former player. Who will want to play for Trotz knowing he's going to speak to the press about a former player like that? Especially when the player in question is Kevin Shattenkirk, who albeit isn't p...

Re: 2018 World Junior Hockey Thread

Here's a video from Button on Thomas' potential place on Canada's roster...compares him to Patrice Bergeron. https://www.tsn.ca/hockey-canada/video/button-thomas-has-bergeron-like-qualities-that-make-him-difficult-to-limit~1282183 I will be shocked if he doesn't make the Blues out of camp next year...
