I bumped the other thread, but here is the tweet. Really need to probably start looking at contingency plans both in the immediate and long-term.
It certainly doesn't look good. f***ing sucks.I fear his days as impact player are done.
We're the Blues. We can probably extend Pietrangelo and then have him on LTIR by the time Tarasenko is healthy.Wow, that really complicates things long-term with 91.
Beyond that, I don't even think LTIR is going to help us with Pietrangelo, since 5-months puts Tarasenko back to be re-evalutated sometime in January. The current plan is for next season to start in December, isn't it? Even assuming next season is shortened to put us back on track for following seasons, that doesn't give enough time to alleviate the cap issues with Pietrangelo.
Any precedent for a hockey player coming back from three shoulder surgeries?
Sounds like he's done. What a shame.
This is true, but it's a lot easier to recover when you're 19 and not 28.Alexander Barkov.......3 Shoulder surgeries, 3 knee surgeries and a surgery on his hip.
The difference is Fabbri had 1 year left on a contract under $1M. Tarasenko comes with a ton of risk.Wow, I feel so bad for Vladi. This is a huge loss for our roster going forward both short and long term, and if he comes back he's likely never the player he was.
If anything this likely a repeat of the Fabbri situation where I could us trading him to some team willing to take a flyer on hoping they can reignite some of his offense.
Army in his comments specifically mentioned Kyrou in the context of internal options such as him needing to step up to fill the void.I think this eliminates them considering moving someone like Schwartz. Time for one of the young forwards to actually produce.
The St Louis Blues won the Stanley cup in 2019What on earth is going on?
Sometimes I just want some good news.. man...
