This team does not need to be blown up. But it does need changes and they are going to be difficult to make because of the handcuffs the GM has put on the Blues. The Stasny contract has not panned out. 1 year remains. The Lehtera contract is a mess. 3 years remaining? Then the Berglund contract is NOT in the Blues long term interest and ties up money that would have been better spent RIGHT NOW. How long has he been at this? How long does he get to close this deal?? I'd rather see Barbashev out there than Berglund, any day. Why the hell not?

I'm going to agree that Armstrong is not going anywhere for now. We are stuck with him. On the threshold and holding. And holding. But he needs to be told about status quo, about the opportunity right in front of him.

If DA is truly a good GM, time to actually prove it. The Blues need a couple of big moves for scoring power. The right moves. And yeah, he's got to get it right. That's what good GM's do.
