Thomas out six weeks broken ankle

[execwrite1]

Big void to fill - do you call up Dvorsky and throw him in the fire?

From P-D

Brayden Schenn was centering Brandon Saad and Oskar Sundqvist (as Jake Neighbours also did not practice). Jordan Kyrou, who had been playing with Thomas on the top line, was reunited with Alexandre Texier and Pavel Buchnevich, a line that began the season together in Seattle. Dylan Holloway shifted to center between Zack Bolduc and Mathieu Joseph.

This Blues team is deeper and better prepared to fight through injuries than the last couple seasons.

Sucks for the Blues but could be a motivating factor for the rest of the team. Can our other two star forwards step up and lead with Thomas out? We'll find out what our whole team is made of but the big money players have to show they're worth their contracts.

When they can't - because it is not possible for 2 wingers, no matter how good to drag a team with no top 6 centers to respectability - when they can't, you will absolutely blame Kyrou without any blame for Buchnevich. He's too streaky, he's a perimiter player, Tkachuk could carry a line with kindergartners by himself cause he's sooo tough.
