My personal opinion is the Blues 1st priority is to find 55 a partner! My 1st option would be Sanheim, if not him maybe Graves..... to do this the Blues would need to move Scandella, maybe add Kostin and a pick to facilitate.

I think Barby has proven that he is ready for maybe 2nd line minutes (on another team) but at least 3rd line minutes on the Blues with our forward depth. Every other fan base will be skeptical but as Blues fans we know he has the tools to at least be a 50 pt guy consistently that plays a heavy game, he just needed the opportunity. The only reason I would want the Blues to move him would to make cap for a LHD upgrade and of course sent to the East.

If the Blues can move Barby and get the upgrade at LHD I would like them to try Brown at 3LW with 10 and 25. I don't think Brown is a 4th line player and putting him there is setting him up for failure. If he doesn't work out after a fair amount of games just bring up Neighbors and scratch him. This gives Jake a lil seasoning in the AHL too.

The 4C I would like to see the Blues target is Lazar! Love the way he plays and I think his game would fit the system like a glove. I'd also like Walker to get a shot with Lazar as you gotta love the way he plays too. Think a 4th line of Walker, Lazar and Torp would be fun to watch.

Last and not least I love me some Sideburns but am skeptical if he could carry the Blues if Binny went down. The goalie I would like the Blues to sign is Holtby. I think he would be the cheapest G that could carry a team if a starter went down, but when 50 stays healthy he could at least give him more rest as he is a very capable goalie. Only need to sign for 1 year as Hofer should be ready next year IMO. If the money doesn't work....in Sideburns we trust!!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rja40</b></div><div>Fozziebear6 I'm curious as to your opinion of Bellows. A lot of NYI people I see on here are willing to trade him. A year or two ago, I think he was a shiny prospect, but I think that shine has worn off. Perhaps it is prospect-fatigue, but I personally don't see him as more than a 3rd line player. Armstrong was once interested in Eberle, so that has wings. Like mokumboi said above, Wilde would be enticing due to his size and being a RHD, but I'd hope Blues scouts sign off on his defense. From the very little of him I've seen and by a lot of what I've read, he's sloppy on defense and gets burned sometimes while always looking to score. That won't go well under Berube. Your proposal is very solid though.</div></div>

<a href="/users/rja40" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@rja40</a> Kinda of a change of scenery thing. Hoping he would come in hungry and tap into that talent that made him that shiny prospect. I think we could give him 3rd line minutes and see if he can reclaim what everyone thought he would be.

Didn't do a lot of research on Wilde but did like that he is a big 21 yo RD.

My thinking was get Eberle to add a lil scoring on the 3rd line (this would give Kyrou 2nd line minutes) and 2 young assets. Maybe one of Wilde or Bellows turn into something plus save a lil cap.

Let's look at Army's history as a GM....He has 3 rules that are definitely set in stone. 1. NMC, don't happen, 2. He does NOT retain and 3. Buyouts are a no go.

If you think he will do any of those 3, you are definitely misguided.

If you want Tank, youre paying for the reason you want him...HE IS A GOAL SCORER. You don't want him cause you think he'll get hurt, you want him to put the biscuit in the basket. If you don't think he can, then stop trying to trade for him.

So sick of everyone saying he is damaged goods, if he was.... why do you want him so bad?

Army wasn't named Team Canada's GM by luck, he earned it as he knows his ****!!

In closing, if you want VT91 stop trying to treat him as a has been...buck up!!

Obviously you want him for a reason and the Blues should make you pay for that reason.

Cause that's how a good GM should run a team. We will gladly keep him and if you are all right that he is damaged then it is what it is.

You're not getting a lottery ticket from Army and that's why I love my GM!!
