Hi. I’m “Gio Palermo”, also known as “legorocks99” (“legorocks99Gaming”, “LR99Gaming”, or “LR99”). I post video game commentaries on YouTube revolving around “hockey”, with a primary focus on “Vancouver Canucks”, “Montreal Canadiens”, “Detroit Red Wings”, and top “NHL prospects” topics. These videos are uploaded with “NHL 26” gameplay in the background. I enjoy making these videos and I hope that you enjoy watching them!

As a red wings fan im jealous of all the trades so far.
Blues fan, I'm ok with this trade. His potential is very high, and I trust our pro scouts (there's a reason we didn't get pettersson.)
Mason makes $7 million per year and looked absolutely lost in the defensive zone this year. Crazy slow foot speed led to being almost completely out of the play on the offensive end. I'm a diehard Ducks fan who watched just about every game. The tape is awful. It sucks he didn't pan out and it's amazing Pat Verbeek got off the hook for that contract. You can't be paying a 3C $7 million per year.
As soon as we see him in a Blues jersey… we'll love him
Ducks got a 15th and 29th for a guy struggling to be a third line forward. How is that not enough lol
Its a whatever trade for me. Not excited, not mad. Blues not trading Thomas and Parayko says theyre not interested in rebuilding, so picks 15+29 are expendable. They kept 11 and selected 16 still. Apparently 11 wasnt on the table like the insiders speculated. Blues have been doing their homework on McTavish for weeks now. They have his former coach. Besides Brady Tkachuk, McTavish was their guy. I'll just have to trust the pro scouts on this one. It mirrors the Schenn trade years ago.
Instead of saying…for 2 first round pics, you should say…
The Blues traded Justin Faulk & Braden Schenn for…
Mason Mctavish
Justin Holl
(who played well enough, that after the Olympics, the Blues went on a 17-5-3 run, with him)
Brandon Carlo
(Acquired with the two, 3rd round pics of Faulk, Schenn)
Dmitry Buchelnikov
Johnathan Drouin
