Hope he has a great season and increases his trade value.

When you're in one, stop digging.

Being annoyed by Kyrou early in his Blues career is understandable, but he took a huge step last season toward a more complete game and his demeanor so far this season is on another level.

Someone mentioned the way Kyrou is carrying himself in these first few games. It's different. There's a quiet confidence developing, which has always been there, but he's maturing.

All depends on how long his scoring droughts are. He has a history of being streaky. If he can make those streaks shorter and less often he'll definitely have a career year.

I would agree. If he can avoid prolonged scoring slumps and cash in on a higher percentage of his scoring chances, then the odds are good for a PPG season. He was abysmal on breakaways last year and had a bad habit of losing or fumbling the puck, likely due to how quick his hands are moving as he stickhandles. If he can clean that up and bury more of his high-percentage scoring opportunities then he'll be cooking. He's looked great so far.

He’s gonna be a great player for the blues for a long time. I’m glad he’ll be scoring goals for us rather than against us. This season who knows but he’s one of our best players so I expect him to do a little better than last year. Progress.

That is great, hopefully it continues and he increases his trade value. Should be able to haul a King's Ransom from another team down the road.

Phenomenal start to year for a player who is historically a very slow starter. Hopefully he keep it up and find consistency for the whole year. If he does I think he could easily be a true PPG (82+) player.

I am picturing Dizzee singing 10cc about Kyrou

I like to see you
But then again
That doesn't mean you mean that much to me
So if I call you
Don't make a fuss
Don't tell your friends about the two of us

I'm not in love, no, no
It's because

I keep your picture
Upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain that's lying there
So don't you ask me
To give it back
I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me

Actually my song regarding Kyrou if all your hopes and dreams for him this season come true would be this, because unlike many others I will not be fooled again by him and his childish selfish ways.

We've all seen a ton of bad and good from him there's zero question can he perform at either of those levels, it's only about consistency consistency consistency consistency. He can't go through long droughts or have gaps during the game where his defense lapses for a few shifts.

What I absolutely need to see from this guy is when his offense is out of rhythm, which it will be for stretches, that he doesn't get frustrated and lapse on the defense. He's not ROR and I'm not expecting him to be, but ROR's attitude is free. When we'd watch ROR we'd see a guy who just focused on all the details every shift who just trusted himself that doing that would leave him in the right position to get points. Sometimes the points come in bunches and sometimes you miss the net for a bit. But you don't look to the heavens (ahem, Robert Thomas) when you miss the net, you accept in advance that missing the net is a thing that happens in hockey and what matters is the immediate moment after that if the puck is still in the rink so get on it.

Kyrou has not turned this corner yet but we are watching to see if he understands it. I want to see a guy who trusts his talent and dials in on the competitiveness night in and night out.

I agree that Kyrou seems to be playing with more purpose and confidence this season. He played better in actually putting in a lot of effort to improve his defence and his play without the puck last season, and it looks like he's moved up into another level in those areas, and also setting up his linemates and shiftmates this season (so far). I fully expect him to score 40+ goals and 80+ points this season. He's assessing(reading) plays better, and looking to pass to his linemates when he isn't free enough to get off a good shot, or they'll have a better chance to score than he will.

Some people think that players don't improve their "hockey sense" several years into their career. But I know from my own experience that putting in hard work paying attention to what's happening on the ice , after some years the experience becomes instinctive after X- number of games, and it can sometimes "click in" later than usual in a "late bloomer". I'm hoping that's what's happening with Kyrou, who has always had great speed, and counted on it too much to carry him through, when less fortunate players took to coaching better and became "students of the game" earlier, because they were less athletically gifted.

I hope that the playing Buchnevich at centre experiment works well, and he and Kyrou can team with another scoring winger to form a good scoring line, and 2 good-scoring wingers can skate with Thomas, so The Blues will have 2 solid NHL playoff-Level scoring lines. They will be helped by Bolduc, and I hope Neighbours can continue to score goals like last season, but also can set up his linemates a lot better. Saad will return soon, but both he and Schenn are on the decline. I'd like to see an injection of more high scoring youth, before Snuggeruud arrives and Dvorsky comes up to Centre The 3rd Line. It will be interesting ton see how The Blues' forward lines shake out this season.
