@STLBluesViews Also, I have utmost faith in our scouting department, and I’m sure that Coach Cronin has put in his two cents on what he thinks McTavish projects to be. If they all think it’s a good move, I have to trust that they’ve done their homework.
@STLBluesViews If you’re either taking a risk on a draft pick that may or may not pan out in 3-5 years, or taking a 23 yr old who’s been in the league for 4 yrs who still has some developing to do… if you look at it that way, then I think the choice is obvious
@frank_seravalli@CraigJButton I think if you demand a trade, yiur NMC/NTC should immediately be null and void. These were created as protection for the players and their families, but the way they are abusing them is not in the spirit of that at all. At the very least make it change to a 10-15 team list.
@rickrowley3 I just think the league needs to rule if you demand a trade it immediately makes your NMC/NTC null and void, or it automatically moves to a 10-15 team. These were created to give players protection for themselves and their families, and that’s not how they’re being used.
@Damien84492837@NugeIsGOAT93@LockedOnBlues I’m just putting out there what was reported by Elliotte Friedemann from the lips of Army. Facts are he’s been a 35+ goal scorer and 4 out of the last 5 seasons. The entire Blues team had a down year. Rousy had Buchnevich centering him more than half a year too.
@NugeIsGOAT93@LockedOnBlues The rumored asking price is 3 top 15 1st round picks or the equivalent. Army is not going to budge for anything Edmonton has to offer, because they don’t have that to offer.
@lkorac10 Trade 2 of the 3 plus a mid prospect to Vancouver for Elias Petterson. He needs a change of scenery, Kyrou needs a 2C, and Vancouver needs picks because they are in full rebuild and got screwed out of 1OA
@BizNasty2point0@spittinchiclets@Bob_Stauffer Not a bad take at all. I’ve been saying the same thing all year. The cupboard is bare in Edmonton, and they have zero depth and poor goaltending. They’re in the downswing. I personally think McDavid only signed for two years to give Bowman a chance to get his ish together.
@soIoucity I feel like the easy solution is you lose percentage points for the 10A for every pick you’ve had in the top 10 for the past predetermined number of years (say 5), more percentage points if you’ve drafted top 5 than if you’ve drafted 5-10. If that makes sense
@jimmathesonnhl Blues are looking for 25 and younger Left side D and Center prospects, or 1st round draft picks. No chance that Emberson gets it done, because he doesn’t check either box, unless he plays the left side.
@jdpowerawards1@Jessemedscience This, except Robert Thomas is locked up for the next 5 years at a reasonable $8.1M (O’Reilly had one year left), and Robert Thomas is a better than PPG Center.
