Sujet: Bye Buchnevich
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hammerwise</b></div><div>Considering he got suspended for a cross check to the face last year, hes looking at repeat offender.

And the head butt last night? thats a freaking embarrassment and the league has to whack him, deservedly so.

If the NHL is serious about headhits, concussions, etc...and requires helmets, you cant have a guy throwing headbutts with his helmet.</div></div>

Yupp. Just dumb, should have just punched the dude right in the chops... cheap shot even lol he did get cross checked in the face so something was definitely called for but the head butt is just so dumb because you know that's a suspension. Think the other guy faces suspension for the cross check to the face? With that being on the video, would that help Buchs case to maybe only getting one or two games? Or does that not matter?

Sujet: Focusing Kyrou and breaking up the band
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheEarthmaster</b></div><div>The Blues have a good problem in that they have five top six wingers and only four spots. I'd agree with you that Kyrou probably shouldn't be playing his off wing, and that if anyone is it should be Perron. But while I really like Kyrou, I don't love the idea of throwing him onto the top line just yet. If I was configuring the lineup this is how I would have done it:

Perron - O'Reilly - Buchnevich
Saad - Schenn - Tarasenko
Neal - Thomas - Kyrou

Buchnevich is a top line forward who performed extremely well with Kreider and Zibanejad, he should be playing a prominent role here on our top line. That Perron-O'Reilly-Buchnevich line could be extremely dangerous.

For me Kyrou's path to the top 6 is really through Tarasenko. Kyrou faded pretty hard last season, so there's no reason to force him into the top six, where for Tarasenko there absolutely is (he needs to get his trade value up). By stashing Thomas and Kyrou on the third line, they have the opportunity to use weaker-than-top-line competition to build chemistry with each other, which will be good to develop now because they'll hopefully be playing together for a long time yet. It also forces Tarasenko into the top six to have plenty of ice time to get re-acclimated and get his value up. Kyrou should also get plenty of power play time on the top unit. When Tarasenko gets moved, if there's an injury, or if he just flat out outperforms someone else, that's Kyrou's opportunity into the top six. Although, if Neal keeps it up, I might run those middle two lines about evenly. Schenn was way too overexposed last year, so moderately reduced ice time will probably help his game as much as increased ice time will help Thomas.</div></div>

I do also like Kyrou with Thomas. And I agree that Buch and Vladi probably should be given some extra ice time. Buch because he can flat out play and for reasons you already suggested with Vladi. Neal is fricken slow as **** though lol.

Sujet: How I think Id run it
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Off wing is a concept that means different things to different players. For shooters, which all three of those players are, their "off wing" is actually the one that provides them with better shooting angles. And in Tarasenko's case, playing the left would entirely negate his best and favorite skating maneuver, which is the hard swerve around a defender from the perimeter to the crease. He will not be playing left wing, my friend. Bank on that.</div></div>

I know what you're saying, like the other reply, I can picture him doing the move lol I'm just saying there's a balance here they got to find. If Perron and Vladi swapped here is the balance than I guess that's it. Not totally sold either way. What would your top 6 look like?
