Lots of trade rumors swirling. I can't imagine any team being dumb enough to take Berglund and his salary but I can keep hoping...

The word is they need to free up cap space to sign Tarasenko. He's going to cost $6-$7+ per year and they can't have some of the other salaries they have to make it work. I can't say I'd argue with doing whatever it takes to sign him. That is a once in 20-30 year player.

I think this team also misses the steady, solid play of guys like Polak and Sobotka. I was very disappointed to see both of them go. Polak was about a strong and steady on defense as they come. Sobotka was the best faceoff man I've seen in a Blues sweater in years, not to mention his great two-way play. Talk about a guy that played 200'.
