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.

Interesting. Could be Frysian. Then again, there are English root words that few would understand today. Textor could be one of those. Language is plastic.

Springfield was off until tonight, so probably for him to get some practice time with us, while also not missing any game time.
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.

Yeah, googled it and indeed the word 'Textor' is the latin translation for the dutch word 'wever'.

They are a cornerstone piece away on D, and then they probably need another (acquirable) D that would be part of a sturdy top 5 in a playoff run. They have a 1C and have some patience to sit with to find out if we have a 2C in the org already. More help coming on the wings is a reasonable hope. Perhaps as we figure out which of the speedy castoffs Armstrong stockpiled are worth something we keep them and lose the rest as the talent arrives. Most people feel like the goaltending is in solid position (we could start drafting more again). Basically we have reasonable medium term hopes in every area but cornerstone 1D that's why the fixation. It seems like a singular problem whereas the rest is solved with time and Plan Bs that are achievable.
I just think there’s a lot of assumptions in this train of thought.
There are too many for me to believe they will be contenders within 5 years. Every fan base overvalues their prospects. I’m not saying you do personally, but just speaking in general terms.
All of the media guys rate the Blues current group close to middle of the pack. I can’t disagree a lot on that evaluation. Some prospects would have to overachieve, compared to expectations, for me to buy in. It’s multiple prospects that would have to make this leap.
In reality, I think it’s more feasible that players match or underperform on expectations.
As I said, I don’t see it. I’m not as bullish as most here seem to be. I don’t agree they are basically a 1D and 2c from contention, although it would certainly help.

The Blues have a 1C on a good contract and a 1G with a skilled emerging backup. The influx of Stenberg/Lindstein/one of these big wingers/Fischer in 12-24 months is reasonable optimism. As for 2C, so much hinges on Dvorsky panning out as the 10th overall pick which is why I want him in the AHL developing. It will help him clean up his game, it's the perfect place to work on that, not the bigs. Everything shy of 1D is reasonable to hope for IMO.
Since the 1D has no plan, I don't believe these contender hopes can be activated until that happens. But look the impact a Brock Faber is having for Minnesota. Remember as soon as Petro came into his own we went from no playoffs to a top regular season team. Then from there you have to build and adjust but it becomes a lot easier to see what pieces you really need when the D has stabilized. Now who knows maybe we find our own Faber in the second round, but it's pretty unusual to find a cornerstone 1D there.

Parayko and Kyrou are under appreciated

I'm not disagreeing with you, but I'm just curious as to why you're writing Broberg off as someone who couldn't become as good as Brock Faber given how excellent he has been so far as a Blue. Even if you don't believe his 0.75 points per game pace is sustainable over his career, you would expect him to still improve and build from this season.

Except for injury worries (this one was not his fault), Broberg's ceiling appears the sky is the limit. He is calm, cool and collected, and he is just getting started. If things continue to go right, he could be a special blue liner for us. Love the way after passes at the blue line he just often charges right towards the net in the o zone.

Great video for my all time fav blue. chucky is not it, but if he had been allowed to play longer for us he likely would be in contention

My guess, Thomas is getting closer. And it's not like Kap was in the lineup every night either.
Thank the lord. Good riddance to him.
Whether this is to just give more room for Bolduc, Thomas coming back, or potentially give someone like Sylvegard a look, I’m happy either way.

it almost has to be Thomas will be back, if it was Leddy they would have sent Schu man back, if it was to play Bolduc more, management would have just told Bannister to play him more

If Thomas is ready I'm very very very worried he was rushed

GMs don't set the lineups, but they can certainly try a force a coach's hand into playing certain players more. I do wonder if that was part of Army's rationale here other than, you know, Kapanen not being a very good hockey player.
