I think both have a fairly reasonable path there. But they have a lot of the same issues. Kyrou just doesn’t hit people and isn’t 6’4 which I get has a place, but not being a slow team is also extremely beneficial, especially when you have a lot of clear deficiencies.

Uhh no. They would not. And they cannot afford it as is anyway.

Uhh what now??? Where the hell are you getting this abject nonsense?

Speaking of exhausting…the guy who doesn’t objectively look at anything and apparently only reads Blues puff pieces…


Here he is compared to Mikael Backlund - career 40-50pt player…can’t trade that guy….Jesus

Trade the pending UFAs at the trade deadline but start dialogue on some of the bigger fish that can be dealt in the off season. Tkachuk leaving would be surprising but if you can get a haul you need to consider it. Build from the back end out.

I'm sorry, did you just accuse someone of only reading nonsense to form judgments and then refer to a Craig Button scouting report as some sort of evidence in the next breath?

1. Ok - provide 1 scouting report that projects Dvorsky as a top line center in the NHL. You won’t. I’ve also read similar things in the Athletic about being top 6 player potentially but not top line and might have to move to wing if doesn’t improve his skating.

2. You have a man crush on Kyrou - fine. Jeremy Rutherford stated this week chances they trade him before his NTC kicks in is >50%. Basically what I have been saying for over a year now. Try not to act like such a pompous arse all the time because you really are not that in touch with how the team thinks….

Ya know, if you're going to make a challenge, at least make one that takes longer than a nanosecond to pass.

2 - First of all, not irrationally bashing a player isn't the same as a man crush. There's literally miles and miles of space between those two things. All you ever have in reply is homer this and man crush that. Just like everyone who irrationally bashes our players and then pretends everyone else is being emotional and unrealistic.

More importantly, JR is an idiot. He knows nothing. He should stick to cute personal features, because that's all he's good for. He's terrible at every other part of his job. TERRIBLE. And what's more, he absolutely did not "state the chances they trade him" - he speculated a fence straddle because he's a little **** who yet again is stirring up trouble for a Blues player who has come to learn JR is a puerile idiot.

But it's cute you imagine he knows anything or works with a pinky nail full of professionalism. Congratulations, you've hitched your wagon to the hockey writer who's never right about anything.

Hey nano second maybe don't provide an article that proves me right-
Profile:
Dvorsky is quite dangerous inside the offensive zone. He has excellent puck skills in small areas and can make checkers miss routinely in open ice. He can make tough plays and find seams. He excels as a goal scorer, though, with a wrist shot and one-timer that he can often finish from range. Dvorsky’s compete is good, he wins puck battles and he isn’t shy from using his body. Like a lot of shooters, he can stay too much on the perimeter instead of taking it to the net, but I never watch his games and think he lacks effort. His footspeed is going to be an issue for higher levels. I think with his offensive talent, his work ethic and strong and consistent track record of scoring he finds a way to become a very important part of an NHL lineup, but I’m less sure of whether he sticks down the middle or has to be a winger due to his skating.

Yup everyone is an idiot and knows nothing except you...sounds right...for any faults JR has, he's pretty in touch with the organization. I think you know hockey but your opinions are becoming less and less relevant due to you biases.

My only untouchables:

1 Stutzle

2 Sanderson

3 Greig

4 Pinto

MAYBE: Brady (it has to be a great offer).

Hard to move Zub tho as well . We need him

Skipped right past the part that says "top of the lineup player" that begins the entire section. This is your notion of "proving you right".

(sigh)

Look. We're not going to solve world peace today. You think he's a cancer blah blah blah I think he's the pope so forth and so on. You throw one strawman after another me, ignore my corrections/evidence and scream homer bias blah blah blah. It's like Kyrou makes you forget what words mean. Fine. You enjoy all that. It's not worth going on about.
