Plenty of players have been open to the Blues in the past. We were a winning team. Last off-season we had plenty willing to sign with us and we did just that.
How many NHL top10 players we have in Blues?
he wasn't this year. I don't blame him as the defense and backchecking was marginal at best. ROR is the best we have and this scoring by committee plan isn't it. They need a big time goal scorer and solid defense. Look at TB. Big boys that move bodies, solid defense, multiple goal scoring threats and the Vezina kid. It can be done. The excuses year in and year out as to why we can't do those very same things are nonsensical. It's Army gambling on bad contracts. He done well for a couple of years but Tb has built a machine, not a one hit wonder.
What’s your point here? Do you understand how most top players are acquired and can you perhaps figure out why they aren’t here at this moment?
Lightning went from first round loss to back-to-back Cups when they added grit to their lineup and started playing less run and gun hockey. Sure they have some great players too, but there are lessons to be learned from them (other than obviously draft superstars in mid rounds).
We have forward group whom are really good both ends.m, but d-core is mediocre at best.
Ofc Tarasenko hasnt played, but now his shoulder should be ok. Losing him low value hurts. What about Schwartz? Losing him too. ED we will either Barbashev or Dunn.
