Before and After lineups

[DawgDad]

Probably not better but definitely not worse. Probably very similar.

+1. Suter and Bjudstad are nothing burgers.

This is either a really dumb troll job, or you don’t actually watch much hockey. Which of these guys do you want to be?

+1 to which guy are you?

Wild stuff. Bjudstad was a, just in case Suter fell through, signing. He is a nothing burger (big, but not physical, and slow). Suter was on a real sh#tty (dysfunctional) team and somebody had to get the points (with the quality ice time he got). He's on his 4th team in five yrs and will be back to his 30pts yrs here. Vancouver was thinking $2.5- 3m for the guy and aren't crying about losing him. And I'm not a fan of the trade. Some have Mailloux as the next Pronger; he was their 6th rated prospect and is known for the brainfarts on D (but hey, he's big). I just don't see us much better than last yr; when everyone was guishing over the Joseph's and Texier.

Again JMO

And if he's dum dum enough to move out Jake for Bryam that would be a cherry on top (in a bad way).

....and now we're strong down the middle.

I see Suter as a 3C/RW who can play up when needed. Schenn is 50 point guy -- until he isn't. Suter offsets the offense they got from Bolduc last season and he's more versatile as a C/PK. Bolduc clearly has more offensive upside.

It would be interesting to see a Kaskimaki/Stenberg-Dvorsky-Charbonneau line in Springfield. Interesting, not necessary. At some point, if not right out of camp, the Blues will be begging for more offense on wing. Dvorsky would seem to have the inside track.
