Dude....I know it's early and there's time for your boy yet....but he ain't top 5...for Petes sake....he's #4 defenseman +/- on his own team....AND HE'S ON THE PP!!

My bet is he ends up right there in the end....just before his disppearing act.

And did you just compare Pietrangeblow to Crosby as a C?

Dude, you are seriously butt-hurt... You are damaged...

I'm going to enjoy the ride. And when they slump, and they will slump some time this year, I'll be the first to criticize those deserving of criticism. But to pout like a 3rd grader that didn't get his way and miss out on the fun of what's going on right now is sort of insane!! Oh well, enjoy your Predators....

Oh, and let me explain to you what's happened in the NHL over the past 5-10 years. Fighting is waaaay down. Enforcers are few and far between. Players like Tarasenko are 6' 230 lbs. Most of them have learned to take care of themselves. They don't need their top defenseman and captain spending 5 mins in the box to show somebody like you how tough they are. And on the rare occasions when players need to step in to help, every player on the Blues this year has been right there, front and center. This might be the most cohesive team since I've been watching them.

If you think all but 3 or 4 GM's in the NHL wouldn't trade their top defenseman for Pietro, you are clueless. He has emerged as one of the top 5, without question. Watch the Norris Trophy voting at the end of the season. I'll bet you a set of Predators tickets for the 2018-2019 season that he finishes in the top 5, if he doesn't win it, barring injury (of course I buy you Preds tickets and you buy me Blues tickets). And in a few years Parayko will be right there too. Thanks to Doug Armstrong.

Still can't stop chuckling about the Seabrook comparison. You've posted some crazy stuff, to be sure but that one takes the cake... Seabrook ... Really? The -1 Seabrook (Pietro is +6)? The 5 point total Seabrook (Pietro has 15)? The 32 year-old Seabrook that Chicago wants to run out of town because he's not playing up to the level they expect? Yeah, go ahead and hang your hat on a defenseman that past his prime 2-3 years ago. Oh, and Karrlson is -1 as well...

Carry on Preds fan. Looking forward to the next kooky post...

Go Blues!!
