need it bad. The football scene in NYC metro area... not good man. not good The future is now in NY, but the team might not be good for a bit. Kakko, Andersson, Fox, Kravtsov, Chytil. They'll have some learning curve, but it's a lot more exciting than Rangers hockey has been since you won the Eastern. yeah for sure. Not expecting to compete for the cup this year. Playoffs perhaps if things go right. But I wouldn't bet on that either.

Panarin signed. Lots of reason for optimism. If they squeak into the playoffs, great. I'd just write it off as a learning year in any other sport, but in the NHL parity is so dominant that the difference between a team who wins a playoff series and a team who picks top 10 is just a handful of points. Anything can happen.

St. Louis acquired Justin Faulk from Carolina in a sign & trade, with the Hurricanes getting two players. Faulk's deal likely means Petro is gone in FA or a deadline deal. Canes get Edmundson, a slow "tough" (will take a fight and lose) LD and one of our more touted prospects in Bokk, who had a rough year last year aftet being our 1st round pick. I don't even know how to feel about it. Weird season ahead.

I don't even know how to feel about it. Weird season ahead. I don't think Petro is going to move until FA IF he does. The Blues would have to be dead last at deadline for that to happen. I don't think it's the end for Petro since he has a lot of St. Louis connections that may factor in how much he is really going to cost compared to what people are guessing. We have seen Doug make some big moves before or sign players for less, see Gunnarssan and Bo. As crazy to think they would use a lot of cap on two defensive players, the Blues don't have the depth at Defensmen prospects compared to what they have at wing. Getting Faulk at the price is not a bad deal at all. When Edmundson who I did like a lot as a person. You know he an up and down player. Faulk, Petro, Dunn, and Colton is a hell of a top for this year and Bo keep his second half up, that will leave Bortz and Gunnar rotation which is a great look for this season. The cap could be still there. Faulk contract next season would be like taking what Joel makes or would made next year Plus Jay Bo's deal since I see him retiring. If they can move Allen who maybe easier to do if he had a great season as the backup and I could see him going to Seattle. That alone should be enough to give Petro the raise. Schenn likely gone because of Cap and the forward depth we have in the system. Dunn is going into his first year of RFA after this season. So they have room to push his big deal a year or two when guys like Steen come off the books and he likely retiring when his deal is up. We seen Doug do some mad Scientist stuff before. Lets hope he can again. Just a lot of moving parts which is something I said going into last season about the Blues can make a run to start a Dynasty potentially. Just it not always going to be the same top to bottom group. We will see next off season. Right now, looking forward to this season. where now we are going to have one of the best defenses in the league, if not the best. Blues already was one of the top but adding prime Faulk into this a hell of lineup. Doug clearly made this move to say we are going all in for another cup run this year.

Blues already was one of the top but adding prime Faulk into this a hell of lineup. Doug clearly made this move to say we are going all in for another cup run this year. Bouwmeester likes it here and is almost retiring. Petro seems to like it here, but I think he tests the waters in FA, as it will be his last significant deal. He's never gonna make a big money contract after this one, regardless of how well he plays. Also Eddy was a LD. We are stacked as all hell at RD with Petro. The deal is with Parayko and J-Bo are deployed as our shutdown unit, Petro gets a ton of ice time. So to end last year, our 3rd pairing was barely on the ice. Obviously, we aren't going to be playing Petro 29 minutes a night and Parayko 26, but that's not terribly far off. The 3rd pairing would get scraps when we split the first two near evenly. Faulk is a RD, so either someone is playing their off-hand at LD or Faulk gets less time. He may see 1st line PP, as it was very bad many times last year and they tried Petro, Parayko, and Dunn as the point man in the playoffs with verying degrees of success. It has also been mentioned that Faulk has a no-trade clause, not a no move clause. But it's hard to say for sure that Seattle would take him. He's definitely a strong candidate, but it's hard to say 10 months out what they're gonna do. Allen is still a negative asset in that teams who need goaltending know exactly how bad he is here, and wouldn't pay to see him between their pipes. If not, Calgary, Ottawa, Carolina pre-Mrazek, etc would have already come calling. He's an above average back-up behind our defense, he's gonna be a disaster in like Calgary. And teams who also have good defenses aren't going to pay starter money for a back-up. It's just a weird move. We returned almost everyone from our Cup run. We were in good position to make another run. I wanted Eddy out, so that is good, but we traded from a weakness in LD and should have gotten another LD coming back. Instead, we added another RD to easily our strongest position and extended him and traded a 1st round pick to do so. I was fully on board with the Schenn deal and the ROR deal. So I've got some faith in Army, but this is by far the most baffling move he has made in player personnel.

Faulk is locked in for 7 years so I know he not moving. I can see Seattle taking Allen because while his recent numbers don't look great, they will still see his playoff experience and all of that. I'm sure not a lot of teams are going to have a much better goalie for them to take that has the playoff experience and the overall win lost record. Allen value like I said can get better if in a backup role has good outings. Someone would be more likely give him a chance. We know what he is but we kept him because we need to be sure on Husso who coming off an injury off year compared to what he was the season prior.

I brought up Faulk going to Seattle because it has been brought up other places. If we re-sign Petro, we can expose Faulk and he could very well get picked up and our cap is sorted out. Allen is off our books by the 2021 expansion draft.
