<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles10</b></div><div>As a Swede, I've always loved Sundqvist's game. In your SC playoffs, he was a beast. Hope he'll be back soon. Which player have you been most disappointed with so far?</div></div>

Sunny has a very complete game. Perfect 3rd-4th liner who can jump up the line up in a pinch and play well. We love him. Scandella by far has been the most noticeably frustrating player to watch for me. He has had some really solid games but he's been fairly inconsistent. Kostin is another, awesome player, who's done really good things and has a ton of potential but he's taken some really stupid penalties at tough times, on the wrong side of the ice. Bad penalties is probably the easiest way to get on my **** list lol I used to hate Perron for this reason.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles10</b></div><div>Yeah I get that. Hope it turns out great for both parties. Don't you guys play Perron 1LW and Saad 2LW? I know Perron is a righty, but hasn't he played LW all his career? Your forward depth this year is crazy imo.

Perron - O'Reilly - Tarasenko
Saad - Schenn - Buchnevich
Kyrou - Thomas - Kostin
Barbashev - Sundqvist - Bozak
(Neal - Brown - Neighbours)
(Clifford - Joshua - Anas)

Probably completely off on the lines, just put the names down. That's some serious depth imo.</div></div>

With the covid protocols, injury to Schenn last game, Buch suspension... the line have been pretty jumbled. Thomas W/ Vladi has been the one unchanged piece of the line up since start of training camp even lol. Tried Perron on the left with O'Reilly and Kyrou and vice versa... Not a fan haha. Forward depth is certainly awesome for the Blues right now, every line contributing. Think the full roster line up I like best is
Saad-O'Reilly-Perron
Kyrou-Schenn-Buch
Barbashev-Thomas-Tarasenko
Neighbours-Bozak-Kostin
Think we got one good game with this line up before suspension, Rona, Injury hit. Sundqvist will come back soon and likely be Kostin-Bozak-Sundqvist 4th line. Let it be noted the "3rd line" most nights had similar ice time as the 1st lol.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles10</b></div><div>Aha sorry haha. I would love Tarasenko, it just feels that we have to get rid of Bailey first and Blues probably don't want him. I would be willing to give up some solid prospect and picks for Tarasenko though, he's looked like his real self so far. Do you have any intel in regards to him still wanting to leave or has he changed his mind?</div></div>

No solid Intel anyways lol. Beau was just the only piece that was ever of any interest to me because I think he fills a hole on the 2nd line LW considering all the Russians we've got that like to play their off hand RW lol. I love the dude, id rather just keep him personally and I'm still holding out hopes he changes his mind and potentially even finish his career off here. Just like toying around with trades on here. He looks happy, he seems to have a really solid connection with teammates right now, playing really well and seems more passionate/motivated than I've seen him in a LONG time. A lot more determination to his game than he's even had in some of his better seasons, especially off the puck and defensively.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles10</b></div><div>Mayfield has been better than Bortuzzo so far this year, look at their overall impact. Weigh in their age, contracts, and roles and I don't see why Isles would swap them. A simple stat to summarize; Bortuzzo's average game score is 0.31and Mayfield's is 0.71. A solid LD more than Beau? So you suggest Isles would rather have Jake Walman than Anthony Beauvillier? That's something... Beauvillier has been really good for a couple of years, but now he seems to finally take the step to be an elite winger rather than a really good one. May come as a surprise, but as you said yourself, not many people bother to watch or keep up with the Isles.</div></div>


Think you just misread what I said because I kind of did it backwards lol. Bortuzzo&lt; Mayfield =Mayfield&gt;Bortuzzo. Then the rest of what I said makes more sense from the view point I had which may be wrong.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles10</b></div><div>Beauvillier has been elite this year, young and under a reasonable contract, he's pretty much untouchable if it's not in a package for a superstar. Mayfield's been much better than expected this season (probably due to playing much with Pelech, but still) and he's under 2 more years for 1.450 M, that's too good to even consider moving imo. Bortuzzo seems like a worse Mayfield in every aspect. Walman's surely better then Chára, but Beauviller for Tarasenko is a W every day for Blues considering their age and trajectories going forward. Imo there is no deal to be made here.</div></div>

Haven't kept up too much with how the Isles have been playing. Just constantly hearing Chara getting crucified and knew there was strong interest in Vladi. Also heard Isles may be having trouble potting goals. Bortz definitely &lt; Mayfield. Like I said, thought Bortz would be an adequate candidate to fill his absence and operating under the assumption Isles view Vladi scoring potential and getting a solid LD more than Beau. But if he's playing really well rn then yeah the value may be a bit off.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>A_K</b></div><div>Berube was spot on: didn't have the legs, chasing the whole game and took way too many penalties. It happens some nights. Avs had the jump, they usually do.

I thought walman was fine tonight. Had to take on tougher minutes since Faulk had to sit in the box for 17 minutes. Lost an edge a couple times but made some good defensive plays and breakups. He needs to be in the lineup when we play fast teams but I'd like to see Mikkola get some time here soon too. Perunovich wouldve been good to have tonight, the Avs were sitting back on the forecheck and our D weren't threatening enough with stretch passes or puck rushes, they could barely get it over the red and in.

Lines are always gonna be tough without ROR. Thomas got nearly 20 min tonight and that's the way it should be - his line barby and vladi should stay together and serve as the top line. I would also stick with kyrou-schenn-buch for a long enough time to gel. Hopefully Saad can come back and they could put him with bozak and Perron. That leaves neighbours-joshua-neal/klim</div></div>

Berube definitely hit all the nails. Hopefully they clean it up and I'm thinking bounce back Binner victory Saturday. Agree with your thinking here. Love Walmans game lately but it's strange to watch such a great skater lose an edge as often as he does. Happened in camp too. Scotty P is looking more and more appealing though and Mikkola definitely needs some game time. Really like the idea of Mikkola-Parayko, Scandella-Perunovich
