Yeah, nobody wants Randall Ritchie back......

I would likely take him back over Chip and his interviews with Timofei Sishkanov

Looks like they broke ground on the new 4 rink facility that the Blues will have as their future practice facility. Next to Hollywood Casino in Maryland Heights. Expected completion is Sep 2019.

It sucks that no one wants to come here. Sounds like we are gonna have to overpay to get someone here unless they are acquired via trade and have multiple years left on their current deal.

That's good news. It's certainly needed. It's a shame they tore down the Hardees complex which was a pretty nice facility and put the crimps on all the other ice venues in the area that used it for youth, high school and club hockey. All they wanted was the property it was sitting on.

Been through the Chesterfield Valley lately and seen that behemoth golf world thingy they are building there? Holy mackrel is that place a sight.

Those golf nets look like they go 300 feet into the air. You can see that monster from miles away.

Yes but DA nees to hit on his trades too

Erat for Forsberg changed Nashville

Where is the blues trade like that?

Runblad for Tarasenko is close but Runblad wasn't established

I was sad to see the Hardees complex go, but I am excited about Top Golf going in there. I haven't been to one, but have heard nothing but great things from people who have been.

The rinks are badly needed, so I am happy that the plans to complete the project are just over a year away.

I would say that the Runblad for Tarasenko is a great comparison. The trade was for a prospect (Forsberg). Which Nashville obviously won big on that deal.

The Blues traded for a pick which they immediately took Tarasenko. Huge win for the Blues on that trade.

I would say trading two 1sts and Lehtera for Schenn is also a huge win for the Blues. HUGE.

Those two trades got the Blues their top 2 scorers. That is a big deal.

Two realy great trades

I think this offseason is much more difficult due to his own bad managing

Sobotka was a bad signing
Berglund was a bad signing
Allen looks like a bad signing

Need at5 least two top 6 players

Can you count on Fabbri?

Just tough sledding

Statsny is not the answer IMO

Rumored trade I saw last night

Parayko Sobotka and a first

for

ROR and McCabe

I personally do nto like this move if it is true

I don't think the Blues would pull the trigger on that deal, I still think they view Parayko as untouchable for the time being. Would prefer if a deal takes place to be built off of something like Dunn, picks/prospects, and Berglund/Sobotka.

I Agree

I would prefer a Kyrou or TT going

Actually I don't think they consider Parayko as untouchable. I think they would consider dealing him in the right scenario.

I tend to agree but I don't think ROR is that right scenario. They have to many other pieces they could use to land him IMO

I'll rephrase to say they blues will only consider trading Parayko if someone offers a massive overpayment for him

Do you guys know anything about Dan Buffa The Fan 590?

#STLBlues, keep your pants on, but I’m hearing from an anonymous source that Ryan O’Reilly is done in Buffalo.

Blues and Canadiens in play. O’Reilly’s locker is cleaned up and scrubbed. He’s gone.

Possible package going to BUFF: Thomas, Anderson, 2019 first round pick.

also goes on to say Parayko isn't in deal, Blues trying to get the Sabres to take Sobotka, Alex Nylander also potentially in the deal. Clarifies that "Anderson" is Anton Andersson

I don't think the blues have any Anderson on their roster

But my understanding is he is an idiot

I agree. Five years ago that move would be unthinkable but I think the game has changed. It's no longer about who has the best top 4 D, it's about who has the most scoring depth. Sure you'd hate to lose Parayko and it would create a hole but you can bring in a free agent D man or promote from within and be better off with a guy like ROR in the middle.

That thing is huge. Might have to dust off my clubs and go check it out when it's finished.

If it is parayko it better not be Thomas too

I think the blues would be idiotic to trade Parayko unless another team overpays
