Parayko out 6 weeks+ - Can the Blues survive and make the playoffs without him?

I don't think so tbh but I am curious what everyone thinks. I assume they'll put Broberg with Fowler and Suter with Faulk. Gonna have to try to score a whole bunch of goals and hope Binnington really steps up. It is curious to see if the Blues will sell now or make a move for another top 4 d-man

They were in the drivers seat for the final WC. Easiest remaining schedule

I don't think so, this team has been cooked for a while since they lost Petro, messing around with a roster that has zero chance of going anywhere. Like a lot of teams stuck in that spot, they have nice players that give you hope, but the core as constituted isn't going to go anywhere.

IMO they should sell Schenn/Parayko/Binnington/Buchnevich/Faulk/Fowler and restart.

as a fan of a playoff spot WC team not doing so great lately I am pretty happy with this development.

We were borderline to begin with. If we did make the playoffs with a healthy parayko we would get bounced in the first regardless. Now it’s just trying to math out the wildcard spots.
