Not sure what the exact plan is for him this year but dang is he an exciting prospect to have knocking on the door.

127I'm assuming you mean Suter, which is an option I hadn't thought about. He IS playing for his retiring year... And is doing superb....

We better be sending them a contract back and not just taking on another 33 year old D-Man with 6.5 million contract next year.

Re: Blues 2024-2025 Season Thread
130Sounds like it's done and I'll just say first reaction, hate it so much. I get he plays for Anaheim but he's been downright AWFUL this year. He's basically been Nick Leddy 2.0. Terrible defensively, no physicality, good outlet passer.

I guess we need to wait and see what the return could be.

134WHY NOT JUST PLAY PERUNOVICH. Why are we once again taking teams bad contracts?? Is Army the first GM to openly suffer from CTE?

Re: Blues 2024-2025 Season Thread
136I'm sorry but why is he acting like a 2nd round pick now carries no value? I don't care what year it's for, a 2nd rounder is a 2nd rounder. Especially for a player that Perunovich has UNQUESTIONABLY outplayed this year. I really fear they are going to pair him with Parayko and it's going to bring Parayko's play right back down to wear it was when he was forced to play with Leddy.

137Replacing Leddy with Leddy is just hilarious. I just have to laugh at this point, I was finally free.

Re: Blues 2024-2025 Season Thread
139Yeah, it's pretty clear Army is desperate to make the playoffs this year, I'm just not sure you can convince me Fowler gets us closer to that.
Anyway.

Re: Blues 2024-2025 Season Thread
140I keep trying to find positives or reason's to be hopeful about this move but just not seeing it.
Krug - 33 - 2 more years at 6.5
Parayko - 31 - 4 more years at 6.5
Faulk - 32 - 1 more year at 6.5
Fowler - 33 - 1 more year at 6.5
Leddy - 33 - 1 more year at 4.0
I just don't know what we are doing? That's a lot of money on a lot of old bad players who aren't suddenly going to improve.

145Maybe he’ll be better if he doasn’t have to play in his Jammies.
Re: Blues 2024-2025 Season Thread
146Someone should have JR search the success rate of making it to the NHL as a first rounder vs a 4th rounder. It’s not a “crapshoot”…if it was a crapshoot you wouldn’t need scouts you’d just throw darts at a board of names.

Figuring out what to do with him leddy and krug can wait til next year. Hopefully buyouts.

Anyway.
Kessel was getting dangerously close to not being able to pass thru waivers, due to amount of games played.
With leddy's setback, kessel would've played too many games, when leddy is back, to not clear waivers, and another team would've claimed him
This move, a desperate one, was made to keep kessel, in the long term.
