Re: 2018 STL Blues Trade Deadline Thread

I get players being aggravated and pissed off over this or that. What I don't get, is quitting on your teammates with a half assed effort., and being young is no excuse. He's not taking a cut in pay because he's young. He expects to get big money, earn it with working hard. If he had to be handled ...

Re: 2018 STL Blues Trade Deadline Thread

He'd look great in the Note, but I really feel like it'd cost more than the Blues would be willing/could afford to pay. A less-than-pleasant individual on STLToday this afternoon actually suggested a deal for Panarin based around Parayko. When I provided facts to show how that would cripple the Blu...

Re: 2018 STL Blues Trade Deadline Thread

Ya know, I don't want to come off as Tarasenko Apologizer, but hear me out. I watch him play & I see an extremely talented player who is often trying to do too much with the puck, almost like he doesn't trust his teammates to make the "right" play (in his mind). I've begun to wonder i...

Corey Pronman just rated him the 6th best prospect in hockey, & called him arguably the best player in the OHL.....so, there's that hype, too.

Re: Blues offered Kyrou+ for Hoffman

Hooray for Army!!! Sweeten the pot some to make it happen. Hoffman really isn't so good that I would bother sweetening the pot if they turned down Kyrou+ pick. Like I said I like Hoffman well enough but he's not some savior and he's only got one year left on his deal after this season. I still woul...

Armstrong Interview w/ JR (The Athletic)

I posted this in the STLToday forum, but I'm posting here as well, hoping to get as much rational discussion as possible. It's a in-depth & fairly candid interview that touches on everything from Schwartz to Allen to the PP to trades. There's nothing earth-shattering, but it's nice to not get a ...

Hey....maybe Tarasenko is a human and not a machine? It will take him about one second to get his game back. I am pistol whipping the next person who says Tarasenko needs to get benched.

Erik Karlsson

According to Friedman & Mackenzie, he has a 10-team no-trade list, & Ottawa has REPORTEDLY asked for it from him. Lets say he's available. Would you be comfortable sending the assets required to pick him up, esp. considering he might be looking for $11mil + on his next contract? I'd imagine ...

I don't recall a single instance in which an "Army is scouting" story foreshadowed anything of significance. Can you name each time he scouted a team? How about the last time he scouted Philly before the Schenn deal? Maybe if he scouted Calgary behind trading for Bouwmeester? Its not like...

Re: Friedman/ McKenzie re: Blues, & Army and DiMaio scouting

Philly has likely sworn off trades with St. Louis for a couple years, considering how the Schenn/Lehtera fiasco had turned out.

Having said that, I'd take Simmonds in a heartbeat.
