That was Ebbett's mistake, being in the far corner on the PK allowing two wild players room to the net.

Ebbett wasn't the one outmuscled by Michael Granlund.

I'm not a prospect guy so I have no idea who would be available but i've read a few times about the Blues depth of quality prospects.

Maybe someone could shed some light for me...

Most of the Blues prospects are already on the team. It's a fairly young group. Schwartz and Tarasenko are already on the team and there's really only Rattie that hasn't made it yet.

Boinker has to be taken with a grain(actually load) of salt though. Fosco seems to know a lot about the unknown prospects and I'm usually not on the same page as Ian...


I do know that the Blues scouting is very strong, they do a ton of video scouting and I believe they are one of the NHL teams that uses advanced stats.

I like Schroeder, Jensen, Kassian, Gaunce, Corrado, Tanev, McNally and Lack...I've always been tooting their horns Not much you can say about the rest. Andersson has been impressive with the Wolves. Connauton has regressed a bit. .....I thought Rodin would break out in his second year in NA but he's been a wright off. I don't think he should get a contract, though, he probably will. Also, Sauve should be released. We need some contract slots to open up if we're going to go after those two NCAA free agents which has been rumored. Antoine Laganiere from Yale 6'4 with skill. I'm pretty sure he was at our prospects camp two years ago.

I was about to go on the columbus board and congratulate them on their hire, and wish them the best of luck in turning that franchise around, but not anymore. I hope all your picks this year are busts and your franchise moves to Seattle.

I just wanted to see how a comment like that from a CBJ fan would land. I'm bored today and not at all a CBJ fan. Glad the goalie drama in Vancouver has dried up. Hats of to Lu & Schnieder for being so good about it

Very informative post. Thank you for you contribution. It must've took you a long time to think it through and figure out how you were going to word all that to make it seem logical.

Parise is such a geek. "My dad might have been from Quebec but I'm from Minnesota, and it's pronounced Pariseee...... loser.

I figured so Columbus fans are just urban legend around here. Ya if one of them was playing bad it would be a little different.

Whoa. RT @News1130Sports: Young says he has not been told Manny Maholtra is Chicago bound. Says Maholtra would 1st have to clear waivers.

It sounds horrible too, like if he did it the other way around it would at least make some sense.

Who's Young? So he's not Chicago bound? I don't get the purpose of this Tweet. That's like reporting that Luongo has not been traded and would have to waive his NTC to be traded.
