Not exactly the most important issue at a time like this, but can we please give ROR Tarasenko's "A" for the rest of the season?

Play Thomas at center. Move Schenn to RW. Good oppurtunity to develop Thomas at C and hope that Schenn's hot start continues with him playing top line wing in Tarasenko's spot. Then we can call up Kyrou/Kostin and they can play 3rd line duties with Bozak so they're not under too much pressure.
Makes a ton of sense. Thomas turns into a better player at Center and Kostin comes in and lays up 25. Repeat!!!

I don't move Schenn when he's having a career start to the season. Let him continue to do what he's been doing.

I don't know that Thomas is ready for that, both because he's still learning out there and I don't think a switch to C would do his wrist any favors. The Blues just lost their biggest offensive threat, the focus should be on doing what it takes to bank points rather than long term development of a kid.

My question also, if this was an issue that needed to be fixed, why is it being done now and not...say this summer?
They were still playing then celebrating.
I agree with your idea, but i also get it

Tarasenko's day with the cup was August 18th. Over two months ago. Wish he'd had it sometime closer to after that than to today. Especially if it was pretty much inevitable.

They were just talking about this on XMNHL radio; I think it was Barnaby who speculated that it was probably one of those 'you can rehab it and it will heal over time, but if you take a hit or move the wrong way it'll need surgery' type of issues. With the way Tarasenko plays, yeah, they should have just taking the surgery, but at least he'll be back for the playoffs

I could be mistaken but I don't remember Tarasenko traveling with the cup everywhere, just that guy with the bowl haircut.

Maybe. How many times have we seen those type timelines be wrong? Not feeling very confident about him being 100% for the playoffs.

Dear God, please don’t rush the guy back. If he misses the whole season and playoffs, so be it (If we hadn’t won the Cup, maybe I wouldn’t feel this way).

Berglund was much better after he finally got his shoulder fixed...hope Vova will be, too. Speaking of Berglund..... nah.

Funny, because as soon as I saw the headline (in its original state) I knew exactly what it meant.

Who wants to bet Steen goes up to fill in for Tank? Hate the thought but that seems to be the way it has went in the past , whenever someone gets hurt.

So I guess this astute group of Blues fans doesn't even need the "[fill in the blank]" part. Y'all can just look at the posting date of any "FUCK!" and know instantly what the subject is. Sure does cut down on T.C.'s clerical work.

Re-evaluated means...no Tarasenko this season....playoffs highly doubtful.

Well, I tell you what. If the Blues season does go bad, put your money on them next year to win the Cup. Binner will be on a contract year and both Berube and Army will have a chip on their shoulder to get it back.

Can Army free up some cap and sign Vanek for 700K? If he’s still in the market to find a team, he would be the most cost effective purchase without yielding an asset.
