Retool instead of tear down rebuild.What are the blues doing? They are acting like they want to finish too high for a good pick and too low to be a playoff team

Retool instead of tear down rebuild.
Eh, it worked out in 2015-18 when they moved from the Backes core to the RoR coreOh. My condolences.

I seriously think Robert Thomas is the worst defensive center in the NHL. The numbers bear that out. He gave up 4.2 goals against per 60 at even strength in 22-23. This season was 3.1 goals against per 60. The numbers are almost identical between the 2 seasons when you isolate his ES minutes away from Buchnevich. He just played more with Buchnevich this year.
Again, Robert Thomas is as overrated as Laine.
Unequivocally.You think he's worse defensively than Brayden Schenn?
Every analytics site has advanced stats. The free one that is good isHe asked you where you were pulling your stats. Thus far, you haven’t answered where you pulled them. You have just cited numbers without proof of backing them up.
Therefore, the only logical conclusion is this: you’re pulling those numbers out of your ass out of some weird, jealousy-related Robert Thomas hate-fetish, like you’ve done on multiple Blues threads on here. Honestly, it’s a tad creepy.
Well, that's all I need to know lol.Unequivocally.
We’ve got the 1C covered, but we’re hoping one of our D prospects can become the guy. That or we’ll have to try to trade for a young D with #1 upside, which teams typically don’t trade, so. We’ll see.It is usually very unsuccessful. Especially when there isn't a #1 C or #1D in the system, you will only get them from the draft but not pick high enough to get them
Unequivocally.

Conversely, Ottawa, Edmonton (until last few years) Buffalo are examples of how teams can take a decade to rebuild. Both avenues (retool be rebuild) are risky, and neither come with any type of certainty.I got nothing against the Blues (and honestly don't know a ton about them) so I hope it works out for y'all. Just usually, the "retool not rebuild" is infamous for making a team take twice as long to become competitive than if they just rebuilt.
Do you think Darnell Nurse is worth 9.25 mln per year?Wow! 8 millions sounds steep
Yeah, we needed more assets. Trading the likes of Kasper at the deadline arent going to give us first rounders.
Forwards, absolutely.
The prospect pool at D is absolutely in the abyss.
Should have dealt him for a high end D prospect.
