1) Dump Allen,
2) Dump two of Sobotka, Berglund, Jbo, Steen
3) Big trade pieces Petro, Tarasenko, Parayko (I doubt it happens with any of them)
Schenn should wear the C, there's no question about that.
If 1 and 2 happens, it's a big step towards a turn around. Blues have a lot of nice pieces and some good young prospects in the wings. They need to get the cancer out and get more character in to move forward. A big trade could do this.
Beginning to wonder about Yeo. I'm now up in the air on him, hard not to be. But I put this on the players and DA first and foremost.
ls - the guy now waiting on DA to straighten out his own mess.
Go Blue!
All valid points. I myself would try to keep Parayko but wouldn't scream is they move him. But is there ANYTHING, I mean ANYTHING, that Armstrong has done in his career in management with the Blues to make you think he will do any of that??? And as far the 2) group... who would take them? You would have to eat a chit-ton of the contract and the Blues don't do that..
That's why I say 2 of 4 would be a miracle in itself.
Jbo might be done. He has a serious injury and to his credit he has been playing hurt. Bad. For the past month at least. If he can go on that IRTL list he could get paid for his last year but it would not go against our cap. Huge if it happens.
The other three, who ever of them, would have to be packaged with someone else or a prospect or a draft pick to get rid of them, like Lehtera/Schenn deal, which actually worked out not great but better than ok. Believe it or not teams would be interested in Berglund and probably Steen but yeah, it will cost us more than likely.
The whole thing as I see it is what can Army do but more importantly is what is he willing to do. He needs to go to confession and tell Father Tom all his sins and come clean and erase what he can of his mistakes.
That's not a warm and fuzzy for me.
