Bill Armstrong proved himself to be a decent talent evaluator with the rather limited resources that he had this year.
How has be proven that? He made one good move in the Stepan trade then signed a bunch of in effective 3/4th liners that had limited impact, meanwhile sat on his hands during the TDL.
As a blues fan, feel freeSomeone send a memo to Armstrong to offer sheet Barbashev.
If Bunting’s agent is smart he would let him get to UFA to get a better gauge on his value, as there shouldn’t be any shortage of suiters for Bunting’s services since he made a good account of himself during the latter part of he 20-21 season with 10 goals in only 21 games played.Bill Armstrong proved himself to be a decent talent evaluator with the rather limited resources that he had this year. I would trust his evaluation here. Locking up Bunting, a Group VI UFA, is probably the next thing on their bucket list.

Nah, we need Barbashev.As a blues fan, feel free
Jaskin is a good player. No idea why he left.
Jaskin has lit up the KHL in the last 2 years, but I don't exactly get why teams will assume that he at 28 will somehow be vastly different than him at 25. He went from a fringe NHLer/depth guy immediately to a PPG player in the KHL, and was that for 2 years. Has he actually gotten that much better over those 2 years?
I always liked Jaskin when he was in the NHL and thought he deserved more chances than what he got here, but that seems pricey for him.
We’ll send you Zach Sanford instead…trust me he’s much betterSomeone send a memo to Armstrong to offer sheet Barbashev.
