That’s not enough. That looks bad actually. Especially when you know Thomas will miss X amount of games. Army still has a lot of work ahead.RAFritchey wrote: Sun Jul 25, 2021 2:06 pm So, right now, our top-6 looks like (without Tarasenko):
Perron - ROR - Buchnevich
Schenn - Thomas - Kyrou
What do we get for Tarasenko (or is he back, like it or not)?
Who else do we realistically add as a FA?
Re: Blues Offseason Roster Moves/Speculation Thread
202Jake Virtanen on unconditional waivers. Any interest?
Re: Blues Offseason Roster Moves/Speculation Thread
203So Blues dropped out?
Ryan Suter is a popular man. Possible he makes his decision by Monday. Among interested parties: Boston, Colorado, Dallas, Florida and the Islanders

204He’s currently under investigation for sexual assault. No one team is going to sign him right now

206I want to see a couple of mean motherfuckers to rotate in and out of the lineup as needed. You can have all the skill guys you want, but you’ve got to protect them.

Re: Blues Offseason Roster Moves/Speculation Thread
210Per Friedman, Tarasenko most likely heading to Islanders or Jersey.
Re: Blues Offseason Roster Moves/Speculation Thread
211Interestingly I'm not sure the trade bonanza this weekend impacts Tarasenko's trade value that much. Defensemen on bad contracts were getting traded for high prices, but the only wingers of not that got traded (Voracek and Atkinson) got traded for each other. Is Armstrong looking for picks/prospects or do we get a hockey deal? I'm prepared to be blown away or very disappointed in the return. Wide range of outcomes on the table.BillP. wrote: Mon Jul 26, 2021 12:20 am Per Friedman, Tarasenko most likely heading to Islanders or Jersey.

Re: Blues Offseason Roster Moves/Speculation Thread
216Something tells me we wind up with Saad, Bozak as UFA and that's an offseason.
I think Army sticks with Tarasenko this year and either trades him at the deadline or offseason next year after he shows the league he can still kinda go.
Saad OReilly Perron
Buchnevich Schenn Tarasenko
Sanford Thomas Kyrou
Barbashev Bozak Sundqvist
Krug Faulk
Scandella Parayko
Mikkola Perunovich
Binnington
Husso
There's your 21-22 opening night lineup.

Play him.
Re: Blues Offseason Roster Moves/Speculation Thread
222Two years ago Kostin wasn’t quite ready. Last year was goofy and he didn’t get over until the end of the season and looked tired. I think Berube will come to like him he’s got physicality and isn’t an embarrassment away from the puck. I think he will be fine.BillP. wrote: Mon Jul 26, 2021 9:25 pmSign Saad, keep Sanford, is Kostin really going to play? Seems like an annual thing where he gets shit on.
Re: Blues Offseason Roster Moves/Speculation Thread
223Looking at Saad’s numbers, I don’t think I want him. 4 seasons ago he only had 35 points in 82 games with Hawks. He had better point per game averages in Columbus. Got a bad feeling about it. I think I’d pass.
Re: Blues Offseason Roster Moves/Speculation Thread
224This team really lacks size and physicality. It's troubling and sure isn't going to match up with Berube's style of coaching.ratonmono wrote: Mon Jul 26, 2021 12:51 pm Something tells me we wind up with Saad, Bozak as UFA and that's an offseason.

But I agree, the Cup recipe we had isn’t there now. Army needs a few more magic tricks.
