The Blues will fall all the way to 4 or 5 only for them to go on a too little too late run. Finally win 3+ in a row and go on a 7-1-2 run or something to push us back out of the top 10. It is the Blues way.

Yep, way too many times. Can repeat the lines by memory at this point.

It sucks winning meaningless games late in the year. Hopefully this year will be different.
Army needs to fully embrace the youth movement. That would help. My biggest fear is after this year Army still looks to hold on to pieces to try and compete next year. Anyone over 30 with a trade clause needs to be approached and told the new direction and asked to waive. I would like to keep Parayko though.

I agree, but I just don’t see anybody wanting Krug, Faulk, Leddy, Schenn with those contracts, and I don’t want to attach draft picks to move them.
Krug off the injury is probably unmovable. With the projected cap raises those contracts start to look a lot more palatable. Schenn will net positive value IMO. Leddy if proven healthy will fetch something decent. Faulk is a wildcard. He has been bad this year but maybe we sell him on the change of scenery move? He has a track record of being a reliable piece a team might want for a playoff run.

I honestly would give any of those players away from free like Saad. I do like Schenn a lot though. I’d maybe keep him for his leadership. But the others can be had for free.
I mean the only one I could see returning a 1st or similar quality prospect is Schenn. Especially if he continues to play well between Holloway and Kyrou, artificially inflating his numbers. Former Stanley Cup winner, plays center, two-way. Some team will pay up.

I had a thought the other day about the Jets who need center depth for their playoff run. I wonder if they would trade Freij (2nd rounder last year) who several fans were high on going into the draft.

Sort of waited too late on that one. Saad should have already been moved, same for Buch, Schenn and Faulk. But we had no interest in a rebuild so here we are: mediocrity.
I agree that was my standpoint last year but we chose to try and "go for it." That failed so now move on and try to salvage. Luckily we have a ton of prospect to backfill.

The problem with going for it is we always had an aging group and a gap between them still being good and the young guys being ready. It made no sense to me to try to beidge the gap and try and squeak into the playoffs when we should have been loading up on assets. Now we are really only left with our firsts for a bit and we still sort of need those.

I just hope we get Desnoyers, unless we somehow win the lottery.

I like Frondell a lot too. Imagine our Swedish connection?
Pens win. Seattle and Anaheim right on our tails with 4 games left before the 4 Nations tourney. We could be at 5 before the break.
