GDT: Philly vs. Blues | 7pm CST ESPN+ & Hulu

[AjaxManifesto]

Just saw thew box score. Turned it off in the 2nd. This team got EVERYTHING it deserved.

Part of me would be happy if this team misses the playoffs so that everyone can see that excusing all the losses to inferior teams over the course of the season is costly.

The excuses have worn themselves out. We are who we are: a lazy and inconsistent team with much potential on paper. Selling the farm to get a top LHD would not have changed who this team is. DA made the smart move. He's planning for next season.

 

[BrokenFace]

I wish our tendency to be our worst selves during national broadcasts would have ended with the NBC contact. Oh well.

 

[Blueston]

This team is talented, but are we sure they are good?

 

[TheDizee]

I remember us having the same feeling about the Lehtera contract and he turned that into Brayden Schenn. I have a sneaking feeling he's going to turn Binner into Sanheim or Provorov

That took 2 1st round picks to dump. One to dump Lehtera's and one to get Schenn.

Binnington still has like 5 years left on this trainwreck. You will be dumping 2 1sts AT MINIMUM to get rid of this disaster.

It’s the full no trade that makes Binner’s so difficult to move. He has to agree to it, and he’s not going to go to a bottom feeder. Without the no trade he could package a pick or prospect to Arizona like so many teams have, but he’s definitely not waiving to play in a 4,500 seat arena. Toronto is the only chance, but they probably can’t afford to spend that much on a goalie. Maybe Edmonton.

Did Kyrou get hurt or benched?

The smart move would have been to not trade the 2nd round pick then so it could be used in a package to at the very minimum move Binnington and that joke contract.

 

[542365]

Did Kyrou get hurt or benched?

He was definitely on the bench. I was sitting right behind him. Don’t think he took a shift after drawing that slashing call, so it’s possible he was hurt, but he looked fine on the bench.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

I would have benched his ass.

He makes dumb decisions.

All I was saying is Army is a master at negotiating trades. I have no worry about him finding a way to weasel his way out of this one.

 

[TK 421]

Binny is our future tank commander, do you wanna draft top 10 during the suckage or not? You can't just trade off that kind of draft enhancing ability. Also Doug would have to pay too much to dump that contract.

 

[trostol]

i am disappointed in your Blues..you cant help put us Flyers out of our miseries? cmon man

 

[TheDizee]

I don't think that contract is moveable unless we are willing to spare multiple high end picks or prospects and I don't see Army willing to do that.

I just do not understand why this guy has not been sent to the minors to work on his game. Sitting up here and playing once every week or 10 days is not the answer. He is a total mess this season.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

7-6-2 in the last 15.

BAD
VERY BAD

The excuses are over. The sky might not be falling, but its cloudy and raining most days.

We suck
On paper we look great, but this team is lazy and mentally unfocused.

Because it has to be something that's agreed by both parties. Maybe the club wants to but he doesn't or the other way around.

 

[Puck Luck]

Oh no! We suck again!

 

[AjaxManifesto]

This team is talented, but are we sure they are good?

Tainted yes. Good? Only on paper, not on the ice. Less than 20 games left and we have ZERO momentum.

 

[Puck Luck]

Boy, the trolls and broken records come out in full force after a tough loss

I have faith that he could move it, I’m just not sure Binnington would agree to it. Maybe he wants a fresh start too? Who knows, but losing Husso for nothing this summer just isn’t an option, which likely means we’re going to lose a good skater to the cap because we have to spend 10M on goaltending. Florida is doing it just fine, but it typically doesn’t work out all that well.

We will spoil your chances of a lottery pick and you will like it.

The fact that it was released that Army was shopping him around says that Binner is at least open to being traded. Blues have about 10 mil to fill 5 spots. Perunovich, Kostin, and Mikkola are our only "big" RFAs and none of them should be too crazy to sign, I'll say 1.5Mil each at most. That leaves Husso and Perron. I wouldn't be surprised to see Husso sign for anything between 2.5-3mil. Perron is the wild card because everytime I hear anything about him I've heard as high at 4m and as low as 2.5m due to how he is as a person. I could see all of them resign for under 9mil. Then they still have Scandella to move as well.

he may have looked fine on the bench, but he looked awful on ice tonight. literally did nothing that registered a positive stat.

We need to re-sign Perron to serve as a mentor to Kyrou.

 

[oPlaiD]

This is one of those games where it feels like not only the fans but the players have lost confidence in Binnington and it's bleeding into their play on-ice.

You can argue that's on the team's coaching/leadership/mentality to correct and they should be ready to play no matter who is in net, but it's never that easy.
