I like the skillset of Dean and Dube vs Sunny and Finley.

[Jeremy Rutherford @jprutherford]

The Blues have placed Sundqvist, Walker and Finley on waivers. #stlblues

@MLB He's a showboat.

@DoorDash @DoorDash_Help You have to do better with Dasher pay. Especially with rising gas prices. Example: you sent an order of less than $5 for a 7 mile drive. Not worth our time. Do better!

I think Twins RHP Joe Ryan makes a lot of sense for #stlcards. He's a stable presence in a rotation and would be under contract next season.

[Open Ice Notes @OpenIceNotes]

@lamar_ochs @twelcher15 Suter's not a 4th line player. It will be sorted in camp. If Stenberg plays his way onto the roster, he'll play a lot. Suter must show he wants a top 9 spot.

[Open Ice Notes @OpenIceNotes]

I think Holloway and Snuggerud - one of those guys can get to 40 goals next season.

#stlblues really need that to happen. They tried to get a 40G guy in Robertson. They have a bunch of 15-25G guys right now.

[Open Ice Notes @OpenIceNotes]

Holloway - Thomas - Snugs
McMichael - McTavish - Buchy
Neighbours - Stenberg - Dvorsky
Torpo - Finley - Johnston
ex: Berggren, Suter

@STL_Stats_Facts How is Fat Rowdy still playing baseball.

[Open Ice Notes @OpenIceNotes]

Glad to see it. He enhances the middle six forwards; he can play up and down the lines.

[Emily Kaplan @emilymkaplan]

Even though St Louis didn't give a qualifying offer to Jonatan Berggren, sounds like he'll re-sign with the Blues. One year, $2 million.

[Open Ice Notes @OpenIceNotes]

Perhaps the Blues have their sights on a middle six piece in Free Agency. Maybe they're in negotiations with Berggren. We'll see. #stlblues

[Open Ice Notes @OpenIceNotes]

The Blues have a lot of middle 6 depth, so I guess it's understandable that they pass on QO-ing Jonatan Berggren. But depth is always needed. Maybe he comes back as UFA.

#stlblues

Middle six:
McTavish, McMichael, Neighbours, Drouin, Dvorsky, Suter, Stenberg

[Open Ice Notes @OpenIceNotes]

@Johnny_Replies @Badhombre They could be free and some people would still steal them. It's just who they are.

[Open Ice Notes @OpenIceNotes]

@twelcher15 He didn't run after it because the RF was already closing on it. He would (and did) reach it long before Pete could.

[Open Ice Notes @OpenIceNotes]

@BNightengale Time for replacement players!

[Open Ice Notes @OpenIceNotes]

VGK vs CAR - Whoever wins, the fans lose. The two most unlikeable teams in the NHL.

[Open Ice Notes @OpenIceNotes]

Cut Pallante now.

[Open Ice Notes @OpenIceNotes]

The 2026 Cardinals are doing so well because His Awfulness (Mo) is gone finally. It's so clear!

#stlcards

[Open Ice Notes @OpenIceNotes]

The Blues finish with four 20-goal scorers in 25/26:
Thomas, Holloway, Snuggerud, and Buchnevich.

Kyrou missed by 2 goals, Neighbours by 5.

@AaronMSTL He was godawful in the last 2-3 seasons. Couldn't get a hit to save his life. It marred his career in my opinion. I dislike him for collecting millions while turning in such a poor performance. Should give a lot of that money back to the Cardinals.
