I’ll take Lehterä for two years if it means getting two firsts. Moreover, I think Lehterä has been ok when he’s been used properly.

why do people hate flyer fans?

LOL, you can have the pick. Army bent Philly over a stump on that deal.

If they miss the playoffs this year, at least they can't use "We fought back hard this season" as an excuse for not moving worthless players.

Schenn was caught in a roster crunch with Nolan Patrick (slated to take over his 2C spot) and several of their youngsters coming up. He also fell a bit out of favor due to his lack of productivity at ES. I still like Brayden and wish him the best, but getting two firsts was a good haul. Hextall and the scouting staff have done well in the draft, so I thought it was a good deal for both sides.

GFY

Why are the Flyer fans here today?



Oh Blues, you are killing me.

So do people still think I have been too hard on Allen over the years?

We’re interested where StL finishes because it affects where your first rounder will be and we get your 2018 1st from the Schenn deal. That interest has only been heightened from the possibility that the pick may be a mid-teen pick in a fairly deep 1st round of this upcoming draft.

I'm just saying, don't go into another thread and open your mouth and not expect any pushback

He needs a fresh start on a team with no expectations

The team tightened up like a drum in the 3rd

This mess is on Armstrong as much as the players The blues are playing half AHL and half NHL players

After Tarasenko scored last ngiht Blues teams in the past have slammed the door this team is too immature and inconsistent to finish games

Chris Butler can move along any time too I would rather play Reinke

Because I am completely responsible for his current psyche state?

Fixed.


And Yes.

I hope to put up a blog that has some discussion of this later tonight but that is illustrative of a bigger issue that I see or at least am very concerned about.

For those newer to the site, here is the piece on Allen I did in May 2014 - http://my.hockeybuzz.com/...er_id=17431&post_id=16131

I'm the 1st to admit I can be tough on goalies, comes with the territory of being tough on yourself as a goalie and just the sheer reliance and pressure of the position but the red flags were all there.

The contract Allen was given, a year before hitting rfa, was a gamble, a bet on him ascending significantly in play and consistency. It was a bet that he would ascend and you would have him locked up at a cap hit that was a million or more under market value. It's a gamble I wouldn't have taken based on the red flags I saw and one that seems to be coming up craps.

Their Defense is depleted right now, but I would have gambled with someone else besides Butler who has clearly been overmatched in every NHL game this year.
