lol, how is getting rid of a 3rd liner who can't find the back of the net anymore an admission of failure? Get rid of Oshie, Perron, Berglund, etc., and we'll have an admission.Nyghtewynd wrote:That didn't take long. The administration is admitting, essentially, that the rebuild is a complete bust. I don't expect him to be the last body thrown out of here.

Possibly, but I doubt it happens tomorrow. If we package something, we'd probably want to get somebody in the ballpark of Steen's talent (not necessarily a forward, just his level of quality). If we can't get something that good, I think we're better off trying our luck in the draft, especially w/ as well as JD, et al, have drafted thus far. I doubt we pick up anybody that's on par with Steen tomorrow, so it seems more like an offseason (maybe draft day) trade, if we make it.dmiles2186 wrote:You think they could use that pick and pair it up with another pick and/or player to spin it off for more assets?
Puzzle? Really....he was traded here 4 years ago. He lost his scoring touch. Blues need scorers.Nyghtewynd wrote:That's funny...I thought that he was one of the last pieces of the puzzle.
Gotta get new players for their new owner.northwest dave wrote:Wow...thought there would be a player coming back, but I'll take a 2nd rounder. What is Buffalo thinking?

yeah. Not once, ever, have I thought of Boyes as the last piece of the puzzle. Hell, if you look at most pre-season predictions, most people put the Blues still at least a year away back in September. So, it seems silly to be so upset that they aren't there yet. They're not supposed to be there yet.northwest dave wrote:Puzzle? Really....he was traded here 4 years ago. He lost his scoring touch.

Dollar Dave thanks you. If you never have to get there, you're always getting there. Great tickets still on sale!cardsfan04 wrote:yeah.
