Everyone's picking apart the Toronto trade but what is this obsession, not just with the poster but across a lot of Blues fans, with getting players that "fit Berube's style"? We won a cup with these players, what more style is there to fit? I'm not saying keep everyone you won the cup with, obviously, but we don't need to make roster changes just for the sake of making roster changes, which is what is happening with that Columbus trade from my perspective. Not to mention it makes very little sense- both of the Columbus players are younger and (marginally) better than the two we'd be sending, why does Columbus add the pick? Why does Anderson take a paycut from his last contract when he's an RFA? There's little precedent for that, even if the player has regressed (look at the contract Ceci got this summer). I obviously don't hate the idea of picking up younger and better players in general but given our cap situation I'd rather just take Sanford for another year since he's already signed and replace Bozak's spot with someone internally- Kyrou, Kostin and Blais are all trying to consistently crack the lineup.
Good coaches fit the style to the players, not the other way around.
