Blues are so frustrating. No heart. No emotion
the blues biggest problem is purely that they dont have a "star" player. the blues, as they are right now, are a great support team. but when a support team doesn't have a star forward or whatever to support, it just comes across as disjointed.
Do this type of video for the Bruins too pls!
I kind of wish you would have gone a little more in depth with the rest of their roster, the recent movement of Perunovich, and even current players on LTIR. I did not realize that the team doesn't have any 2nd round picks.
Decent team on paper but for whatever reason its not working. I don't mind there depth on paper but they cant score, there defense looks fine but they play poorly at times. I'm not sure if this is fixable for this season or not.
Shannon says the Blues need a star player, we'll see if mangement agrees and maybe looks at Miller or Pettersson(not saying i would neccasarily agree with that). Personally, I think a 3rd line center similar to what they had with Berglund or Bozak would help there depth alot, but i would reccomend throwing it in the towel for this year and wait till the offseason for that.
Kinda feels like they are being forced into a retool and if they try to fight it, things could fall apart. But they main question is do they want playoffs? Or a legit shot at the cup.
Huge Blues fan here , and im not worried. Frustrated yes , because i beleave the teams better then what they've been playing .
We're in a 2 – 3 year re-tool currently . Selling would be idiotic at this point. give bolduc some 2nd line mintues with kyrou and holloway and move schenn to 3rd line center . Allow tucker to play with sutter and learn the leauge from a 22 year vet . Next year bring theo up and pair him with tucker and let them grow as a pair and learn the leauge together. Snugg and dvorsiky are in the nhl by next year . Put them on 3rd line with schenn . And keep bolduc as 2nd line or swap bolduc and the 2 new guys around depending on whos playing better . But keep the 2 young guys with schenn on 3rd line ideally and allow the team to grow. Alot of young to middle age talent our playoff windows wide open for the next 3-5 years . Only way they correct this thing by tomorrow is getting a 1st line forward , either a star sniper or a legit power forward to put on the opposite wing of neighbors and allow the pf wings to push the net and have thomas dish them the puck ….. Just my couch gm opinion
Saad to NJ since thats what everyone wants on Puckgm over the offseason/ bringing of the season. Couldnt hurt but idk if FItzy is smart enough to give him a deal.
Dumpster fire. And get what we can get. And bring prospects up. Sorry Army but you failed and we need some fresh legs in the lineup. This team ain’t doing it. So it won’t hurt to at least try bringing a couple of them up.
Experience Blues Hockey
I actually think they will be the ones to acquire JT Miller.
Once the roster began transitioning into a more finesse/skill game, they started struggling. Giving bad contracts out didnt help and they're paying the price this season. This won't change, until those bad contracts cycle out…still tho…LGB!
Being a mid team all season, It seems like after the Vegas trip their play has gotten worse.
I believe it is a player issue imho and not a coach issue. They went through 3 coaches in as many years it seems. Defense needs retooling for sure.
Rangers fan here who isn't as familiar with the Blues. From the looks of it, the Blues have some great young talent in Thomas and Kyrou at 25 and 26 respectively, and Buchnevich can be good for 30 goal-seasons. They also have promising young players in Holloway and Neighbors, who could potentially be real scoring threats for years. I think the Blues biggest issue is an aging defense group and lack of good draft picks in recent years. The Blues will benefit from offloading some older players to stockpile draft picks for defensive prospects, and if they can inject some young defensive talent into the roster (maybe bring up players like Dvorsky for more scoring too), they could be a consistent playoff team.
This miserable home stretch they are currently on should be clear evidence. They need to sell.
Give back the players they poached from the Oilers….start from there.
Can the Blues just terminate a contract like it's been stated for Saad? Was it mutual agreement? Is there something else to the story? Can they make a case that's he's not fulfilling his part of the contract? If not, what's the point of signing a contract in the first place?
man they had a RIDICULOUS amount of prospects at the world juniors, keep up this rebuild they could be the next OKC thunder and their war stash
Sell.
Wanted to say as a sidenote that damn that Blues logo still goes hard and the jersey looks fantastic Shannon. And I’m a Flyers fan !
They have the depth, but obviously lack a superstar goal scorer. I'd love to see them trade for Pettersson.
this blues mess is all on armstrong-ever since he let pietrangelo walk….
blues logo is a beauty
Buchnevich for petterssen?
Doug Armstrong is near retiring and will not go with the Blues worse off than when he took over as GM. Alex Steen will inherit whatever happens but look for Dvorsky and Snugeruud to get some starts after the 4 Nation break.
You are spot on with the protection given to JB50. Winning the Cup gave him carte blanche and he finds himself out of position a lot of times and is very susceptible to back door plays. StL fans LOVE to place the blame on CP55 and his play the past several years. Before that it was AP27's fault and JBow19 who were the scape goats on the D-line. After the winning the Cup, their core d-men have only gotten smaller – up until this season. Faulk, Krug and now traded Perunovich are all undersized, offensive minded d-men and they got out muscled the past couple of years. Suter has been surprisingly good? decent? Better than advertised we'll say. And it's hard to believe that Fowler was a throw in for the Trouba trade and NYR said "no thanks". The Central is tough and winning a WC2 slot to wind up against Vegas isn't going to work out well for any team that makes it.
Blues sound like avg nhl team today. Not bad but not good enough. Plenty like them in this league
I've said the same stuff all season long that he put in this video.
THG is a secret insider confirmed !
Saad did the Blues a huge favor by asking for his release. His money comes off the cap for the rest of this year and next. Could be very helpful.👍🏿
Thomas and kyrou are borderline stars but definitely not superstars. But those contracts i think over time will be fair
I think the Blues are gonna sign an elite scoring winger during the next offseason. Utilizing the cap space they just freed up from terminating the Saad contract, the salary cap increasing next year, and finding a way to trade Leddy would help make room for a much needed punch on the Thomas line.
Come on Blues, go on a spree! I want a Blues – Oilers first round in the playoffs.
If you watch the games every night they play then you know this season is over when they lost to Dallas
JT Miller to the Blues? …. he would be a great fit.
Broooo/ I’ve been saying it for years!!! We need Snuggerud more than he needs us!!!
no need to hurry, have the basis for developing playoff contender the next few years?
They are in wait mode. Waiting on prospects to come up and contracts to end. No one wants the bad contracts on this team, so they are kinda forced to just wait. They have been trying to move Perunovich and Saad for two seasons. At some point they are going to have to make a move for a top player, but thats easier said than done.
The Blues visually look terrible. They're in a bad spot retool/rebuild wise. Their current core isnt good enough to rely on and the future peices also dont project to be superstar level players. Just good, but not great. I think the path would be to go in on the current rosters. Move prospects for players in their mid 20s.
Armstrong has stated that we aren't moving prospects in any trades. We are waiting on our farm system to come up. Armstrong has spoken very highly about dvorsky. Lindstein is doing well on the ahl in the 6 games hes played in. Snuggerud has been killing it in the ncaa. We knew this year wasn't going to be our playoff push. Were looking at 2025-26 and beyond. Would it be nice to make the playoffs? Of course, but if we don't i at least understand it's a transition year still.
As a Blues fan I agree we don't really have that guy if you will. And my gut tells me that's really all we're short on. Kyrou, Thomas, Holloway, Buch, Neighbors are great Forwards don't get me wrong. But we don't have the fear/attack guy up front. And haven't since Tarasenko left. While yes Vlady hasn't been great since leaving and he wasn't elite when he left. He still drew the attention on the power play opening up shooting lanes. One guy whom is starting to figure it and could be that guy is Bolduc. He just has to start shooting the puck more!
I am a Blues Fan but they are not performing up to standards and many players on expensive and long contracts… SELL
There was a lot of hope – almost an expectation- a few years ago that the Blues would land Matthew Tkachuk in few agency, given how he grew up in St. Louis. While there’d necessarily be a lot different about the roster if that had happened, I also think we’d be in a better spot today.
Then again, that would almost definitely meant the Tkachuk family would still be Cup-less 🤷♂️
It’s time to deal at least 2 of the top 6 forwards. Depth players are not the issue, nor would be much impactful on this team now. Things need shook up.
As a blues fan. Sell. Simple. GM needs to send a message and deal a foundation piece.
its been scoring by commitee for the Blues the last several years
Really enjoyed this coverage! 🥅🏒🌟🌟🌟✅
For my whole adult life as a blues fan we haven’t had a true superstar and I think we need one. The closest to one I can remember was tarasenko. It’d be exciting and could give us a boost.
