Quote: sptsman said: The catch 22 with Maroon is that his style of play is much more suited for the playoffs than for the regular season. I think the Blues feel they saw enough toughness out of some of the younger, faster and more skilled players on the roster. He became expendable. Hard to argue the point, when you remove emotion, from the equation.
I still hope they find a way to sign him. I'm just not optimistic they will. And if he goes elsewhere, I hope he succeeds, until he meets up with the Blues. At which time, I hope he gets his head knocked-off...
Sure.....by who exactly...Perron? LMAOOOOO
That's the problem.....you can either be a fearless hitting machine as a team, or a scoring machine. Not signing Maroon is a step back to when the Blues were neither. let's not forget, Andy, most of those guys were there when Maroon got there and wouldn't hit a fly....he was one of the leaders of the turnaround. It's not emotional for me....i don't give a fork where he came from.....but I know he is a leader in the room and on the ice. The Blues need that......they don't have many, remember??
I was really happy when he came here, and I wish they'd do the smart thing and bring him back. I don't give a rats arse about the regular season.
