@BluePucks Assuming Sunny is gone, we’ve got Finley, Dean, and even Peterson or Walker who can center that 4th line
Id prefer to develop Finley or Dean than to give Dube the spot. Dube’s been good but I think Dean or Finley fit that spot better especially considering our timeline
I really need army and steen to make moves soon. Need to hear literally anything that moves us closer to contention
Even if it’s a future considerations trade I mean please
But I’m guessing it’ll be the first week of July where Steen makes a big move #stlblues
@FabbrisHair2 Welcome back and agreed
Does not fit the timeline. Especially since we were talking about whether or not Thomas fit the timeline, a guy 3 years older certainly wouldn’t fit
Personally I like the idea of Larkin only because we could throw out an all Dylan line:
Holloway - Larkin - Peterson
But he does not fit in this team or window right now. We were talking about how Thomas may not fit our timeline and we want to put him in? No thanks #stlblues
Dylan Peterson had re-signed
If we’re looking for more toughness, Peterson is our guy. He brings fight, checking, and relentless effort
Get him on the 4th line next year PLEASE
#stlblues
MY BOY ZACH DEAN IS RE-SIGNED
WOOOO
God I hope he makes the team next year. He’d be solid at 3C if we let Suter go.
Hes got speed and relentless skating with good passing and defensive IQ. Also just a great forecheck. He could switch in and out with Finley as the 4C #stlblues
@BluesProspects1 Devils, I’ve got a lot of trust in our scouting team and having Nemec would give us a lot of options on defense for both now and the future
@TalkeyHockey Aside from whether the package is enough, I think a tougher case would be trying to convince Thomas to waive NTC to be a Leaf
He wants to be competitive now, to the point he asked Blues office about their timeline. And IMO the Blue are closer than the Leafs to being competitive
@Prop_Joe_314 100%, a guy of his talent and just desire to play on this team can’t be traded. I understand what he could bring in but shutdown 3rd pair Parayko is my dream
What’s y’all’s thoughts on Parayko? Why do people want him to go?
Experience is a lot especially on defense. He’s a defensive defenseman. Imagine him in a few years on the third pair, him and say Ralph going out there, eating massive minutes and shutting down top lines #stlblues
Hear me out #stlblues :
Snuggy moves up to franchise player
Scoring forward: Carbo if he’s everything we think he is
Scoring defenseman: Maizy if he continues to improve
Defensive Defensman: Jiricek or even Ralph if he does well
Major props to the T-Birds, what an amazing run
The #stlblues are in need of another fighter outside Tucker, who often finds himself in fights he’s at a height and reach disadvantage
I’m wanting Peterson to make the roster next year and add some fight to the 4th line
The possible Stanley Cup Finals ranked IMO:
The best : Avs vs Habs
Very close second: Avs vs Canes
Please no: Knights vs Canes
HELL NO: Knights vs Habs
#stlblues
If Nemec is brought here (which I’m all for putting a package around Kyrou for), it’d signal the end of Fowler or Tucker in STL
Figure him / Maizy on top pair with Broberg then the other with Lindstein on 2nd
Which puts Parayko, Fowler, Tucker, or Jiricek on 3rd pair #stlblues
