Good on Armstrong for not holding on to Tarasenko and O’Reilly and loosing them for nothing. Let’s get this rebuild going in high gear so we can get through it quickly!
3 first rounders so far this coming draft !! I think it's the best move in a very deep draft this year Unless some of these picks are used for other acquisitions coming before the deadline (Meier) (Chychrun)
@@craigharrison5406 you're only getting one crack at Bedard and that's 1st overall , I believe only the top 5 (bottom in the standings) will have a chance in the draft lottery
The right answer is and always will be the latter. Forget even going back to the year 2018, even in hindsight, you make that trade all day everyday. Sobotka, a first, Berglund and the 2017-2018 version of Tage Thompson for an immediate impact player who wins the Con Smythe, Selke and Stanley cup? Easy decision.
OK, first of all as a Leaf fan, thanks for giving us ROR and Acciari. They were impressive in their first game as Leafs a while ago against MTL and we expect the same in every game moving forward. Also, you guys get a good prospect in Mikhail Abramov. Adam Gaudette was good in the AHL this season but was never called up to the big club, since we also focused on other prospects like Pontus Holmberg. I think Gaudette would get called up to STL and could be useful in the bottom 6 (3rd-4th line). Also think B. Schenn could be your next captain, as well.
Acciari is built for the playoffs and ROR always steps up in big games. Toronto gave up a lot as both guys could very well be gone in 4-5 months, but in the short term, you’ve got two absolute WARRIORS.
Im not the biggest Armstrong fan, but he did good with this press conference. I liked how he owned it, and even made corrections to his previous statements about players quitting. This looks like more of a rebuild around Thomas and Kyrou, rather then a re-tool. The Blues roster is predominately made from acquisitions, rather then drafted and developed players. Alot of pressure is gonna be on the scouting and those in charge of development. The Blues track record isnt exactly shining. Waldman has become a solid with Seider in Detroit. Klostin has also turned a page in Edmonton. Of course we wont talk about Thompson in Buffalo, and his development. Armstrong has handled money very wrong also. Thomas and Kyrou both make more then Jason Robertson and Tage Thompson, and lets not discuss trade clauses as well.
This draft is supposed to be super deep, obviously everyone wants Bedard but michkov is a great 2nd or fantilli, comparisons to Crosby, ovi etc. It's a year to def go for picks, I wld love michkov, tarasenko 2.0 or better
The blueline is key. Young defensemen coming in take longer to develop to become regulars in the league. The Blues need a stud d man and probably two to compete with the better teams in our conference. Tonight's game against the Avs showed our weakness and left Binner out to lunch again.
I think Doug Armstrong shouldn’t of traded Ryan O’Reilly he wanted to stay and he was happy Playing For St. Louis Blues but Trading Vladimir Tarasenko he wasn’t happy playing for The St. Louis Blues so I can see why he traded Vladimir Tarasenko but Ryan O’Reilly he shouldn’t of traded I met Ryan O’Reilly before plus he was are captain we miss Ryan O’Reilly
@Dj_Blue15 I wld rather move Krug, parayko is not the top pairing defenseman he was years ago, he had his d liability covered by playing w bouw. That being said parayko isn't getting top pairing d money imo. He is getting a slightly higher than he is worth salary but 6.5 for a 2nd pairing guy isn't horrible.
I’m not happy with what army did but if your going to trade out good player then get something good out of it. Also I think you should go after Jack Hughes like just imagine Jack Hughes, Jordan Kyrou, Thomas, Brayden Schenn, Sammy Blais on a team we will be scoring back-and-forth. Just a thought if you want a chance to win a cup.
I’m not saying they want to or not I’m saying that he’s a really good player and fast too and with kyrou and Thomas we could win more games in my opinion
You don't seem to understand how the game works in the cap era. This is sell mode, not cup mode. Lol. And why in holy hell would NJ trade their best forward when they are winning?
Armstrong the poor defense play is the problem for this team. Not our talented forwards you keep trading for draft picks. Draft picks are a gamble. You failed to make our team better. You fail to understand that are defense is probably one of the worst in the league. Armstrong your the one that needs to go. Hard to be a blues fan these days.
Who would you suggest he should have signed? He had very little cap space available. The problem Is the guys didn’t play up to expectations. The defense top four have been horrendous especially Parayko. The problem people fail to understand is the Blues had a lot of guys who had career years last year but still lost to Colorado. This team was going nonwhere so instead of losing guys Armstrong is making the best of a difficult situation. Tarasenko was a problem child. He was big man on campus until ror showed up and he got butt hurt and jealous. He should have gone last year but his numbers were too good. Unfortunately it was time. I hope ror returns but if not so be it. I’m excited for the new look blues for next season
@@tomjudge7920 unfortunately I do. Defense has allowed 196 goals already. Trading for draft picks is a gamble. But since you know everything what's your solution smart guy.
@@jeffgerst3619 it all started with the Leddy trade Armstrong made. Horrible trade. All our defensemen are bad. That's Armstrong fault. He signed them.
@@williamlauman8126 the players he’s signed hand a history of playing well so I don’t know how he’ll supposed to know they’ll start playing so poorly. I think the leddy trade was just a coincidence. Krug has never impressed me defensively and Parayko is simply lazy. He’s huge yet he hits No one. Has a tremendous shot yet he rarely shoots. He only checks using his stick. On line changes he’s rarely inna hurry to get to the bench; the players have a huge accountability for this. Armstrong’s proven he’s an exceptional GM. He did what many others in St. Louis couldn’t but he doesn’t put on the skates
This is a wholesale sellout of the team. “overachievers” don’t grow on trees. Amazes me we can build a dynasty, but it will never happen with only home grown players. Its almost as if the won the cup and that’s enough for the next 20 years. Smh.
That’s not right at all. This team has under achieved at a horrendous level this year. This isn’t on Armstrong or berube at all. The players like Tara’s po asking a trade and Parayko playing lazy is solely on the players. With winning comes lower picks so you can’t expect over night home grown talent. This team has under achieved and it was past time for a retooling. I hate to see ror leave but it’s time. Armstrong has a ton of picks and lots of cap space so he can retool This roster this summer
This team was way underachieving. Getting older too. Had to get something for guys that we’re leaving. Probably weren’t making playoffs and even if we did we’re not going anywhere. Team is just not good this year. We’re not in a position to just make the playoffs with all these aging vets and expiring contracts. It’s not a wholesale sellout either. Yes we’re selling but it’s all guys that wanted out or have expiring contracts.
Well, the 3 game win streak ended quite abruptly and this team has QUIT since the leadership has quit on this season. The players brought it upon themselves but it sure looks like this will be a very very long and brutal end to this season with few wins

I hate army
I agree
Finally someone agrees with me
WTH Where's the rest? Why cut off
Let’s go Blues. Good deal. Thank you Captain, thank you Army
3 first rounders so far this coming draft !!
I think it's the best move in a very deep draft this year
Unless some of these picks are used for other acquisitions coming before the deadline (Meier) (Chychrun)
3 cracks at Bedard is pretty good
@@craigharrison5406 you're only getting one crack at Bedard and that's 1st overall , I believe only the top 5 (bottom in the standings) will have a chance in the draft lottery
It’s been nothing but chaos since this all went down.
Tage Thompson or O'reilly and Lord Stanley. I don't know the right answer, but 2019 was absolutely F'n amazing. Thank you Blues

Out of respect for oreilly I don't think the Blues should name a captain for the duration of the season
Acciari is built for the playoffs and ROR always steps up in big games. Toronto gave up a lot as both guys could very well be gone in 4-5 months, but in the short term, you’ve got two absolute WARRIORS.
@@Comanche93-alpha Fair. Probably you need more time.
Welcome to Toronto Ryan O'Reilly

Agree with the blues going back to its roots of bringing up players but damn.

Dynasty building? Let's do this. I want back to back cups.

Could Parako be traded next please? If he interferes with Binny again I’m going to go crazy!!
How does Colt55 interfere with binny
Read an article on that said edm is looking into parayko as a back up plan for Karlsson
Blues won’t do it
@Dj_Blue15 I wld rather move Krug, parayko is not the top pairing defenseman he was years ago, he had his d liability covered by playing w bouw. That being said parayko isn't getting top pairing d money imo. He is getting a slightly higher than he is worth salary but 6.5 for a 2nd pairing guy isn't horrible.
Then we should go after Jack Hughes and trade colt55 for him
😢
