I’m not arguing to not grab depth, but just adding that depth alone won’t be enough to get the job done consistently.I disagree with this. We have virtually no depth right now. Yeah, we've got 7 but Edmundson is playing mostly like crap and Bortuzzo is coming due for another injury. We're not that far away from Chris "I'll remind you all why I'm in the AHL yet again" Butler and Jordan "I still can't cut it in the NHL, but I'm glad there's suckers out there who still think I can" Schmaltz being in the lineup, and come playoff time that's going to be a disaster.
Get Perron back, upgrade the defense, maybe look for a 3rd-line guy who can throw in a few goals like Maroon can't, and go to war from there.

Spot Thomas in between now and the TDL. See if he can stick.Perron still isn’t enough. We’ve had our top-6 for most of the year and it’s just now waking up. We need another player that we can rely on - Schwartz, Schenn, and Perron aren’t enough. ROR and Tarasenko are reliable, but the elite teams have more than two guys that are guaranteed to carry the team night after night. We need that third scorer to guarantee we get a goal from the top-6.
Adding another dman given who is available isn’t going to improve our defense enough to be worth it.

Did we break them?Preds lose at home to the Wings. Maybe???
Devs fan? If so, just think of the draft....good game tonight Blues' fans, really close one that could have gone either way
we'll see you in the finals
I think Perron and Schwartz can be what you describe. But I’m not opposed to another impact forward if price is right. Don’t want Simmonds or someone of that ilk.Perron still isn’t enough.

The unfair puck drop didDid we break them?
I’d be down to grab Fowler, but I would bet that’s off-season only. Dzingle would be a good grab - as would Nyquist if we are going cheap.Spot Thomas in between now and the TDL. See if he can stick.
I'm still a fan of Ryan Dzingle. Shouldn't be some rediculous cost and the Blues can just bring him in without moving out salary.
I do agree though...
Defense needs some help. Bort sucks, eddy has been a meathead and Gunny cant stay healthy.
I'd sniff around Anaheim.....see what shakes loose. I'd entertain sending Edmundson their way. Cheap asses would be interested
That was too funny. He really whined about that. I'm surprised it didnt get more attentionThe unfair puck drop did
Wild blew 3-1 and 4-3 leads at home to lose in regulation.Flyers just took the lead with 4:30 left in the game.
They DID!Preds lose at home to the Wings. Maybe???
