....and if the Blues find themselves sellers at the trade deadline, would ya'll mind giving us back O'Reilly for a few months?:-)
NEVER!!!
jk, I don't know. i haven't had the time to follow anything Blues related during the off-season or preseason, so i have no idea what they're up to.
Towards the end of last season i started to feel like the Blues might be getting a little long in the tooth, but what do i know? I hope they stay healthy which was a huge problem last season and make a deep run, but i have no idea how they'll do this year. [Reply]

I'd tear it down to the studs.
If they have to attach some of these 1st round picks to guys like Krug or Binnington to get them moved, they should consider it.
You can't be this old, this shallow and this tight against the cap. There may not be a franchise in worse shape for the next 4 years in the entire NHL. [Reply]

Why?
Krug’s contract is compounded by Parayko’s and Scandella’s. Krug is actually performing at the level he’s getting paid at.
Binnington’s contract is one I’d do all over again and it won’t hurt as the cap continues to go up.
The firsts shouldn’t be moved unless it’s to bring a player similar to how Buchnevich was brought in.
The team might be 2-3 years away from contention again as opposed
to 5+. [Reply]
