Let me know your expectations for the Blues this off-season
LGB!!!
Covid hurt team after cup.
Then we traded Petro
Parry is staying a Blue till he sets that games played as a Blue it means a lot to him to set that record
Albert Smitts looks like a really interesting choice.
its the good ole boys club .. hitch is still "consulting" .. bloated making tickets higher
Buchnevich could go with all the left wingers that they have.
I think Binner stays put unless the deal is too good. Im comfortable with him as the 40 man on a 60/40 split with Hofer.
Lol. The Blues aren’t trading Thomas so let’s just forget about that.
U can call this ole Blues fan crazy, but I have a gut feeling we end up with #2. and getting the brothers together. I can see them sending all both #1’s and top prospect and Kyrou. Or more. They want Stenberg and it has been the plan.
Binnington for a 1st (Florida?)
Kyrou for a 1st (Washington?)
Stenberg for a 1st (whoever drafts his bro)
Jiricek for a 1st (Philly has his brother)
Buchnevich will be hard to get rid of though.
I do t see Parayko going anywhere. He has a ntc and he’s in love with the heir to the IMO’s pizza franchises. I just don’t think he’s going to approve a trade to anyone and this is Armstrong’s one habit I find very troubling. He gives everyone a ntc. It’s got to stop. Concerning Thomas he only gets traded if he decides he wants to get traded. That’s what Strickland reported when all this started he said Thomas was unhappy with his team mates since they weren’t converting his passes so he wanted out. It was no coincidence kyrou was moved down from the top line immediately after these runners started. Kyrou is the one that’s virtually a lock to be traded unless someone low balls Armstrong. Army wins virtually every trade he makes and he won’t sell low on anyone.
I heard. Rumor Stenburg adamantly stated he wants to play with his brother. Would the blues package 11 and 15 for 2 or 3? It’s rumored San Jose is set to take a defenseman so that would leave stenburg for Vancouver who need a lot of help. Adding two for one could be appealing, I guess we’ll see personally I’d ship 11 and 15 out for Stenburg
My prediction is only Kryou gets moved in offseason.
Maybe Kyrou and 15 and 11 for Wright and 7th?
The future looks very bright for the Blues but they really need to improve on the PP and PK. Extending Holloway was a great move and Broberg should be extended soon as well. New GM Alex Steen has a lot of options in building this team, a lot of good prospects in Carbonneau, Jiricek and others coming down the pipeline .I don't see the Blues retaining any of the RFAs or UFAs, as they need those roster spots for the new, younger guys. I don't really want Binnington to leave STL but I could see them trading him for more draft capital and/or other prospects. I believe they will improve from this season and contend for a playoff spot.
Parayko has to go. Even if its waivers. He KILLED us this year. Look up the stats if you dont believe it.
They will still be paying parayko for one. They way over valued their players at trade deadline
I expect that they will do nothing and pick #11, #15 and #31.
This guy is out of his mind.
Never had a trade rumour come through.
The playoffs are on and there's no trades anytime soon.
Is Edmonton desperate enough for a goalie to take Binner and Kyrou for Bouchard?
Parayko says the West coast thing was made up. He never said it.
Edmonton fans…. We will trade you all three of our first round draft picks and Jordan Bennington for McDavid. As long as McDavid signs a 7-year extension… What do you say to that?
Bringing up Thomas makes your channel a joke. He's not going anywhere and anyone that has any knowledge of hockey knows that. It's more Likely McDavid gets traded.
Thomas isn't going anywhere and in my opinion they don't need to trade Parayko
I don't expect Binner to go (yet) and Parayko is staying put because there will be A LOT of young defencemen. I also don't think they are ready to give up on Kyrou yet…but it will probably depend on how Carbonneau plays in the AHL playoffs for the Thunderbirds. I really want them to keep Berggren, but I don't know if there is a spot in the roster.
Unless Binner requests out I expect him to stick around. Both Army and Monty were very complimentary and emphasized on having a legit 1-2 tandem as a key to success so I think he’s likely sticking around unless he requests out.
