6128Some players grew up idolizing Wayne Gretzky, others grew up idolizing Mike Danton."I will end your bloodline," the suspect allegedly told Scottsdale police."One phone call and you're dead."
...but whatever, the Blues won the Cup!!!!!

6138Kind of weird to think that Parayko and Schenn are the only skaters that have still been here since that cup win.

Re: News and Games around the NHL
6142That is a super tradeable contract the last 2 years if they need to move it.
...but whatever, the Blues won the Cup!!!!!
Re: News and Games around the NHL
6143We'll see how it plays out but him and Larsson were one of the best pairing in all the league last year. Add to that he'll be in his 20's for the entire contract I think it will be good for the club and player equally.Dave's a mess wrote: Fri Jul 21, 2023 9:02 pmThat is a super tradeable contract the last 2 years if they need to move it.
It's a shame we didn't get to see that development out of him before they left him unprotected.

Re: News and Games around the NHL
6144Retrospectively, you go back and leave any of the protected d-men exposed for him. At the time, fighting for consistent minutes on Berube's cup winning blueline it made sense.

OR leave Barbashev and Sunny unprotected and lose one. Woulda coulda. If memory of the 2015 draft serves, the only one calling Dunn a potential top pair guy this whole time was some Tim character.
Re: News and Games around the NHL
6145Just researched, and as much disdain as Krug gets around here from most posters (myself included) Krug was an undrafted player. Gotta say he did well for himself.

Re: News and Games around the NHL
6146Great deal for the team. He had a great year but probably isn't going to quite replicate it production wise. I don't expect him to fall off a cliff, and they'll get his peak and can move on afterwards of they need to.Dread_Pirate_Westley wrote: Fri Jul 21, 2023 9:25 pmWe'll see how it plays out but him and Larsson were one of the best pairing in all the league last year.

If Dunn does keep up the production, he'll get one more big payday.

Re: News and Games around the NHL
6147It's never personal with him. He's made a hell of a career and living for himself and doesn't seem like a bad guy.

Re: News and Games around the NHL
6148Oh for sure. I wasn't trying to say anyone was talking down about him as a person. I was curious what round he was drafted as to know his "ceiling/consistentcy/basement" and was... largely surprised.Dread_Pirate_Westley wrote: Sat Jul 22, 2023 11:42 amIt's never personal with him.

Re: News and Games around the NHL
6149I don't hate him ... i don't know him well enough to hate him... i hate the fact that he's on this team... should have left him exposed and kept Dunn...sure he can qb a power play, but he gets tossed around like a rodeo clown the rest of the time.Ozzies09tc wrote: Sat Jul 22, 2023 12:40 pmOh for sure.

He can veto teams to go to (limited or not is moot)
Every gripe we have about this team, is mostly contracts, and it's going to have a scapegoat as the fault
