Trading players won't solve the problem, you got a moron as a coach and a GM who is incapable of taking a team beyond a full rebuild and into the playoffs. Hiring Yeo was the greatest mistake this Blues group ever did and Stillman is a moron for this. Hitchcock wasn't the answer, but he ran his system tight and the Blues had one of the best D teams, granted at the expense of offense, but still the team was formidable.
Yeo can not run Offense, can not run Defense and giving him a multi-year contract should have gotten Army fired on the spot. You can trade this entire team off or sell the farm and build up this team at the TDL and the result would be the same.
The culture of the Blues is flat out trash; this team does enough to make the playoffs and then it's pure luck and talent that gets them any further. Stillman is following the same routes that just about every owner outside the Lauries has and it's surprising that this team even has fans anymore. There is no commitment to winning the Cup, there is no drive or desire to it and it shows on the ice. I don't give a damn what an individual player, coach or GM says in any interview, you show that desire on the ice, not in words. Blues fans deserve far better than this team gives.
Stillman has shown he's incompetant for keeping Army and even moreso for signing Yeo for as long as he has. If you're not building TO WIN the Cup or signing money names to WIN the Cup and you're not making the Cup THE priority, then why the hell have an NHL franchise? Look at Nashville and how they approach it, THAT is how you do it.
If I was superstitious, I'd say a move to Baltimore (the city that actually put in a bid and was to be awarded the franchise until the Wirtz family threw them under the bus) might undo this madness.
