"busy day here"?????

Not trying to be an ass, but I just presumed that you worked from home, and didn't have an office location. Am I Incorrect?

i was thinking more along the lines of if its such a busy day we should be given more than 4-5 sentences, with a more to come that will never come

This just in! Dion Phaneuf traded for Paul Stastny..this will be completed this evening

That's an excellent deal. Steen is a good 2nd line, fringe 1st liner. He got slightly more than Clarkson and with the cap going up he could have cashed in. Props to St. Louis

Fringe 1st liner? Steen would be on the first line of almost every team in the league.

Steen is def a scary player to sign long term for big dollar. I think its a good deal for STL. Gives them options when theyre kids are gonna need to be resigned. But it is a little crazy that they got him to sign a 3 year deal. Open market he woulda racked in the years and dollars. Most def a sign of commitment.

Yes the Steen we saw for the 1st quarter of the year. Hes normally a 2nd liner guy. Heck even a 3rd liner. But yes. Steen of right now would be a 1st liner for almost every team.

Busy day? Then why just report on one yawner of a topic (signing). What a joke!

Yeah. The guy who's managed to hit 50 points once, and 20 goals twice, in 8 seasons prior to this one is a first liner on every team in the league.

This just in.. If Tyler bozak manages to put up this seasons steen numbers for one fluke campaign, it doesn't make him a first line center on every team in the league.

hope schenn is doing alright.

Steen is Selke winner right now if he plays on big market team. Take points out of it. Best defensive forward in the league.

Our best D man for a guy who is nothing more than a 50-55 point player at this point, and who makes 6.6 million?

NAH

based on this years hot streak (already 2 goals away from career high) Yes.

based on the fact he has only cracked 50 points once, and his career high is only 51, NO

Guy is a 2nd liner on most teams

over paid current salary yes based on the last couple season, but will sign around 5.5-6 on the next contract bc he actually is a defensively sound 2 way center, 60pt guy constantly playing against other teams top lines in a shut down roll and is strong on the draw,

Need to look at more than just points when you are comparing 2 way centers worth

cheechoo = one dimensional player who gave no effort to stay at the top of his game.

steen = all around beast, phenomenal work ethic, makes the guys around him better

He meant busy day holiday shopping guys. Its crunch time for last minute shoppers.

On a side note.. what's the point in becming a season ticket holder on here? Do you get more rumors?

If it allowed you to block eks opinion/fluff pieces I'd be all over it!

And you have to pay Dion $7.5 + for 7 years.

I have to admit, outside of his drop dead sexy wife I really know nothing of how he performs on the ice.

Big hits from time to time and a face I want to beat in. Is he decent in all zones?

I think Pavel Datsyuk and Jonathan Toews might have something to say about being the best defensive forward in the league...

think he gets moved if the leafs keep on sliding?

That's a great contract for the Blues. Steen is almost a lock for 30+ goals per season over the course of that deal.
