NHL network crap. No scouting rumors just hunches I guess.From where?
Hmm. Worth keeping an eye out I suppose. Wonder why he would be a targetNHL network crap. No scouting rumors just hunches I guess.
We dont hear much connected to stl, so I found it odd
UFA. From the little bit I've watched, he's pretty skilled, quick as hell and plays either both wings or all 3. I dont have alot of experience with him.Hmm. Worth keeping an eye out I suppose. Wonder why he would be a target
Would love a small addition. I have a feeling Winnipeg and Nash are gonna load up. If we can add a 2nd or 3rd liner for anything not including a 1st or a top prospect, i would pull the trigger. More scoring and injury depth could help facilitate a deep run.UFA. From the little bit I've watched, he's pretty skilled, quick as hell and plays either both wings or all 3.

That's what I've been looking at. Johansen, Zuccarello, Dzingel....Would love a small addition. I have a feeling Winnipeg and Nash are gonna load up.

Zucc I could go for.That's what I've been looking at. Johansen, Zuccarello, Dzingel....
These are middle 6 guys and hopefully slip through the cracks while everyone is chasing the big fish
Any of the 3 would be a good add.Zucc I could go for.
I think he’ll bust completely. I don’t want to get involved with that. It would only be worthwhile if you can get a difference maker out of it. If he’s just a 3rd liner, what’s the point?Any interest in PoolParty? I'm not expecting a huge renaissance, but i think he could still develop into a high end 3rd liner. With our trade history with EDM im not counting DA out of the bidding. I know i recently brought him up in an offer to ANA but what about Fabbri for him? Both teams take risk, but have upside as well.
Wouldn't mind next years 3rd line being:
Barbashev-Sunny-Poolparty
It looks like Duchene will be moved soon. I'm terrified that he'll go to the Jets or Preds. If we traded for him that would give us two very good scoring lines especially when Perron comes back. I really think we could win the cup with that balanced attack. I know we don't have the cap room to sign him long term but rolling out two scoring lines with our already strong 3rd and 4th lines...just think about that parade down Market Street.
I’m more concerned with the D personally. Eddy and Petro just can be scary. I may move Eddy now for a more stable piece for a cup run for a guy with termIt looks like Duchene will be moved soon.

We have a game in hand on Montreal though, and we would hold the tiebreaker over them. With as hot as this team is, at the end of the season they would make the playoffs no matter what conference they're in IMO. So that argument soon won't be able to be made.This trade deadline seems really dead. There's the Sens players and the Jackets duo of Panarin and Bobrovsky(who might not even get traded with the Jackets in a playoff spot currently). Not much else really with so many teams still so close to a playoff spot.
Blues are lucky to be in the West this year. Even with 11 wins in a row we wouldn't be in a playoff spot. We trail Columbus in ROW. There have been plenty of years in the past where the opposite was true though. Like in 15-16 where our 3rd best record in the entire NHL had to face the Hawks in the first round of the playoffs, and they had the 5th best record in the entire NHL. It all evens out eventually.
Excellent point but if they could find that chemistry then think about how dominant this team could beRemember how long it took our guys to find chemistry? A good two months. This is why many UFAs fall flat.
I am good with a second line guy, but it depends on Perron and his injury.
Saw your post on the main boards. I'd be interested in Dzingel but where would he slot into our lineup? LW is pretty crowded already. It's nice to have so much depth and roster flexibility. If Schenn moved back to center, there is an immediate need at LW. However, I'm not sure that line should be broken up. I guess we will have clarity in a few more days.I'm not buying the chemistry argument anymore. When was the last time we've brought in an impact forward? Well I mean Orielly and Schenn in the offseason....chemistry wasnt an issue. A real top 6 talent will add to this team
I think chemistry is a problem when there is a weak team culture. But Berube has seen to it that the Blues have a strong culture now. They have a solid work ethic on the ice, and the players are playing for each other. You can add a good player to that mix and improve the team.I'm not buying the chemistry argument anymore.
