I am going to say it. I honestly think the St.Louis Blues would be a better team without Justin Faulk. His presence has disrupted the defense pairings. His style of defending doesn't mesh with the Blues system. His contract, (which inexplicably has an NTC
), increases our cap hit and could even be a factor in our re-signing of Alex Pietrangelo. Pietro-Parayko-Bortuzzo was just fine as a RD group, and oh yeah ...
we won a cup with that!!! There seems to be a sub-set that takes any Faulk criticism as an attack on his personal character, and I assure you this is not the case. I am at my wit's end as to why Armstrong made this move. I just don't see any benefit for the Blues. I welcome arguments as to how he helps us, and remember ...
this is not a personal attack!
