Let's Go Blues

I'm conflicted. I'd love to see them make the playoffs but my brain says they'll go nowhere fast when they get there. It's a crappy looking draft but there's one particular RHD I think they'd have a shot at drafting who would be really good down the line and it would be nice to get a ball in the lot...

Lindstein signed his ELC

Zach Dean is up, I guess it’s time for those “we’re not making the playoffs anyway” late season looks.

May as well pack it in for the season and climb as high as possible on the draft board. There’s one particular RHD I have my eye on I hope they can nab. Get into the top 10 and it could happen.

What about Arsemi Koromyslov? I know he’s not over on this side of the ocean yet and probably (definitely) needs some AHL time first but he should also be on the 3 year radar.

Blockbuster trade alert!

Subban to Columbus for future considerations

My Devils fan cousin was very pleased to finally get some good goaltending. Me, not so much.

Hopefully the crap start to this game motivates Armstrong to do something. I've had it with mediocrity and it's time to clear space for the kids. Bannister, thanks for holding down the fort but it's also time to get a fresh start with maybe a HC on the younger end with more of an eye towards an offe...

Given that no one's sitting out tonight as a matter of precaution I'm going to assume there won't be any trades by Army before the deadline. Big mistake, IMO to not at least try to get picks for a couple of guys and I guess the goal with Buch is to re-sign him after July 1st.

Full NTC he held all the cards and I'd imagine the only place he wanted to go was Florida so Ottawa's hands were tied and they got whatever they could rather than get nothing at all.

A ton of moves today, none involving the Blues but… our old friend Tarasenko was moved to the Panthers. As Florida’s been my eastern conference team since their inception I approve wholeheartedly and look forward to their impending championship in June.

I’d be looking to move Scandella and Kapanen for sure, neither of which will really net more than a mid round draft pick. I’d be ok moving Sunny, I’d even be ok moving Buchnevich knowing the haul he’d bring in would be pretty damn good. I don’t have a problem with punting the season, this team ain’t...

That’s not right sending Kessel back. I know they had to make a move but that’s a tough one.

I mercifully didn't watch the game but I did watch the Bolduc goal. Great set up, great positioning and wide the hell open. I'll take more of those, please.

Well this is an abortion of a start to the game.

Bolduc now, Snuggerud probably in about a month or so. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Buchnevich traded and possibly a d-man, punt this season and do a very thorough search for a new coach.

Bolduc is en route. Kind of surprised, I don’t really think he’s earned it but ok.

I never would have pegged Neighbours as a guy who would pot 19 goals... so far. Dude hangs out in the right spots, he reminds me of Maroon to some extent.

It was only a matter of time before Perunovich got hurt.

To Flyingnote’s point, I’m torn on Buch but I do think they could score a big haul so I’d be fine with them trading him basically anywhere. I wouldn’t be shocked if the Rags wanted him back. Also regarding Zherenko backing up Hofer, hard pass right now. He’s nowhere near ready. I’d call up Subban an...
