Re: David Backes is on waivers
27Stewie’s on waivers today... I guess that the Blues should sign him to a short term deal too and retire his number... after all, he did stick up for his teammates a time or two.CaptSMRT wrote: Sat Jan 18, 2020 12:56 amBackes on the Blues today would be a different player...Its the system/coaching/attitude here that is successful...he would be fine.Ozzies09tc wrote: Fri Jan 17, 2020 6:43 pmWe could bring him back like we did to Chris Thorburn...Dread_Pirate_Westley wrote: Fri Jan 17, 2020 2:07 pm I don't bring him back because honestly, I don't think the guy should be playing hockey anymore at this point.

28David Backes can go fly his plane into the great wide yonder saving Dogs for all mankind as far as i'm concerned. He is no longer welcome here!

Re: David Backes is on waivers
29You guys act like this is all a surprise......he signed an offer sheet with Vancouver and had the Blues not matched he'd have been gone a long time ago, so don't act like the Boston deal is something new.

30It is like you and your friend, lets call him David, stumble upon a bruin, while hiking after a plane trip into the wilderness. You don't have to outrun the bruin, just your friend. Something like that.Dread_Pirate_Westley wrote: Fri Jan 17, 2020 2:22 pmDoes Army get credit for being smart because Boston was even dumber than him in offering 5 versus the 4 Army wanted to give him?Matangama wrote: Fri Jan 17, 2020 2:15 pm 1) he definitely should retire. Way too many concussions. Not worth it.
2) it also shows that Army is pretty smart when it comes to this stuff. He wouldn’t go the extra year and Backes walked......turned out to be a great move for the Blues. I feel very comfortable with what Army decides with respect to Petro. I just can’t see him going 8 years unless the dollars are right, but I’m good with whatever he decides.
That's like giving someone credit for also giving the wrong answer, but it was just slightly less wrong. Save that for the Price is Right
Re: David Backes is on waivers
31Surprised he got waived? I think most people were expecting he would get bought out back in July. Him getting waived is no surprise. I would imagine if Boston buys him out this year, Backes will be playing somewhere for the league minimum next October.netboy65 wrote: Mon Jan 20, 2020 11:15 am You guys act like this is all a surprise......he signed an offer sheet with Vancouver and had the Blues not matched he'd have been gone a long time ago, so don't act like the Boston deal is something new.

Re: David Backes is on waivers
32Take note Petro: If you don't sign the Blues slightly less offer this offseason, you will get waived in a few years right after you lose to the Blues in game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals
KA-KAW!

34z It's his decision, but for his sake, and the sake of his family, I hope he hangs it up before he gets another concussion. Money doesn't mean much when you can't function.
