With their current lineup, The Blues should be able to pass Vancouver going downward into the 6th draft spot. Then, they will have even a chance for the 3rd choice in the lottery. THAT would be a really nice thing to happen.Dread_Pirate_Westley wrote: Thu Feb 23, 2023 10:28 am The Blues currently sit with the 8th pick in the draft(55pts) and the Canucks in the 6th spot(49pts).

, along with having 2 other 1st Rounders ( and with some luck and several teams bidding for Barbashev, perhaps even another 1st Rounder. With ALL 4 of those, they might be able to acquire the #! choice in this draft.From your lips to the hockey God's ears. A top three pick this year would transform this organization quickly. Bedard is obviously the prize but Fantilli and Carlsson would both be #1 overall in most draft years. Michkov possibly too but he's got that Russian contract concernRobb_K wrote: Thu Feb 23, 2023 12:02 pmWith their current lineup, The Blues should be able to pass Vancouver going downward into the 6th draft spot.

This development must be met with swift action. If 2 quality NHL players are returning to the lineup, we must quickly trade away 2 others.

Right now (before tonight's game), Philly is in 8th with a point % of .475, and the Blues in 9th with a point % of .482. If we lose tonight, we'll 'pass' Philly just barely with a point % of .474BluesSK wrote: Thu Feb 23, 2023 6:09 pmI believe the Blues are in the position where the Flyers are currently. 8th.big d note wrote: Thu Feb 23, 2023 2:54 pm Tankathon!

I've noticed if you sort the NHL standings page by point %, it puts them in the right order, but the rank number on the far left doesn't change, and still reflects the total point order. Kind of confusing, you have to actually count from the bottom or top.BluesSK wrote: Thu Feb 23, 2023 7:57 pmOh.
