Fabbri isn't going to make the roster in the bottom 6. He'll switch with Lindstrom.
I still think a trade with Paajarvi is coming, Mueller clearly outplayed him.
We don't really have a bottom 6. More like a top 9 and a 4th line.
As for Paajarvi - did Mueller "clearly" outplay him, if at all? I watched some of the practices and the games that were streamed and Mueller didn't look very impressive at all. I'm not saying Paajarvi was setting the world on fire but I don't think Mueller outplayed him.
Mueller readjusting to NA hockey in the AHL will be fine. He has hockey sense and scoring ability while MPS doesnt....sadly
All this says to me is Fabbri survived another round of cuts.
MPS for pitts 2ndI agree, I think Mueller showed he could keep up, but he was clearly rusty. He's on a two-way, so the Blues can send him down, MOST LIKELY CLEAR WAIVERS, and be called back up once he gets re-acclimated up to NA style of play again.
I do think the Blues will be trading someone, right now my money is on PRV, but wouldn't rule out Cole either.

From what I saw Paajarvi was the worst regular this camp/preseason. Mueller was okay, but he showed flashes that led me to believe he is rusty.
To me, they can both play on the 4th line as equal as each other.
I'm pretty sure he's played at least one game. Wasn't it The Blues' 2nd?Has Porter played at all this preseason? I don't remember his name being mentioned at all.
