Tbh the way this season is going was secretly how I hoped it would. They were due for an injury riddled season and another chance at a top pick could really help. Would've been really nice to have gotten fabbro, though I havent really watched him.
We’re all along for the Armstrong ride. I wanted them to tank last year and trade Buchnevich. I like Buchnevich the player, but I’m afraid he’s already played his best hockey. His usage at C is now burning up his long term motor at a faster pace than at wing.
He will be 36 at the end of his contract. It’s similar to the Schenn deal. Even if the Blues were contenders, that would still be a tough pill to swallow for me. Every hockey person knows what being on the wrong side of 30 does to players.
Cudo's to Army for the offer sheets. It was actually a double exclamation point chess move. My guess is it would not have happened if the Blues would have tanked + trading Buchnevich.
Oh well. It’s been talked about to death. Honestly, the biggest surprise for me is how much optimism the members of this forum have. 36% of voters think the Blues will be serious contenders in the next 5 years.
I don’t see it. I like the top Blues prospects, but not enthralled with any of them.
As the entire roster sits right now , I would say Broberg has the most potential.
If the Blues continue to lose, please don’t get a loser point along the way.
