Prospect Points - STL vs Other NHL Cities

[DawgDad]

And the only loss was a 3x3 overtime loss.

And only lost that one when they put in an undrafted 18 yr old goalie to see what he could do against this level.

Guys, there’s no point. You’re arguing with a cr@pping pigeon. Of course he arbitrarily didn’t include the drafts that would include Neighbours, Bolduc/Mailloux and Snuggerud lol.

I focused on the re-whatever results.

However, I would love to see the results of earlier drafts. That would be very insightful as well. If I have time, I will be very happy to do that. Better yet, I believe that it would be exceptionally revealing if you would do it. Show me what I am missing, man. Here's your great chance.

Feel free to track it if you want but you way overestimate my desire to “convince you.” You’re a lost cause. I shall not be wasting my time to do math just for you to ignore the obvious results and keep cr@pping all over the place like you always do anyway.

You say that I don't listen to reason. I ask you to show me the facts about prospects, and you have no interest in doing that.

Fine. I'll round up the data and present here when I have a moment.

My strong suspicion is that a look farther back will be be just as negative for Army's results as 2023 and later. We shall see.

Sorry that my posts bother you. Blues Management bothers me, so I guess it's unavoidable.

This isn't that hard. Based on projected opening day roster with lean to end of season roster, the Blues draft picks are:
Thomas
Snuggerud
Kyrou
Neighbours
Toropchenko
Parayko
Tucker
Binnington
Hofer

39%, 9/23.
The Blues famously did not hit on Kostin, but five of the nine were lower than second round picks. With this group they became a playoff team, a team on the rise that overcame injuries to two team leaders, Parayko and Holloway.

Like all top teams many of the Blues players were acquired through trades. P. Suter, Bjugstad, Sunny appear to be the most significant free agent signings.

It strikes me as patently obvious you are pushing your narrative so hard NOW because you know the impact of recent draftees is about to explode, starting with Snuggerud and soon Dvorsky, with several others lining up behind them.

Edit: If DD and Peterson make the team it will be 48%

This post does not disappoint...no surprise. You really have an extremely low IQ. Secondarily you are likely a frustrated, provocative disturber, whom has sought and failed to be socially accepted all of your life. But I digress...
Short answers for you: First, Because we successfully brought in our first pick prospects from 2020, 2021 and 2022, which you would expect to develop before our 2023 & 2024 picks.
Second, Many at the top of your list are on teams that have been at or near the bottom of the league for quite a long time and they continue to not get close to the playoffs. So, those teams are in a better position to both get your sole-theme Top 5 or whatever picks and have practically no choice nor reason but to not put them in the lineup, while also having zero chance to win a Stanley Cup. Oh yes, they'll get points for themselves, but they are now losers.
A team has a zero chance to win the Stanley Cup if they do not reach the playoffs. Try to understand that, maybe search the internet to understand why what I just stated is a true statistic. The nature of professional athletes that is required to be a professional athlete, is to NOT want to be a loser for whatever reason. "Tanking" so that his team can possibly draft a talented young amateur athlete is anathema to a professional athlete. You are obviously NOT a professional athlete. You really are intellectually and emotionally challenged.

Does anyone keep track of regional dishes of other cities that you can get that food in STL?

Where is the Best place to get Deep Dish or Italian Beef?
Where is the best place to get a cheesesteak?
Where is the best place to get some KBBQ?
Is there someone outside of maybe high point that is doing Oklahoma style burgers? I got theirs and it tasted just like pure mustard for some reason.

Anyone have any useful information to add to this thread, since the OP Bot didn't post anything of note?

Tell ya what, in my opinion the cheesesteak at The Post cant be beat

I'm not anti-social.

I'm speaking for the people of St Louis that want to see elite players play here, in our uniform. I'm social with them.

You're a VERY CASUAL hockey fan at best. You have made it quite clear that you place more importance on what name is on the back of a jersey than how successful the players who wear the team logo on the front do as a team.
If you were a hardcore hockey fan...you wouldn't care about who gets the good results...only that the results THAT THE TEAM gets are good ones.

Go Blues!

KPot in Overland has GREAT Korean BBQ. Their Hot Pot is top notch as well. We always get the combo. I've never been to Philly so I don't know what authentic tastes like, but i like the Philly Cheesesteak at Penn Station. I've never had a deep dish south of Bloomington/Normal that was worth a (bleep). I did just find out that Portillo's has a location in Springfield, IL. I will be making the 3 hour round trip for lunch sometime soon. Their Italian Beef's are not the best I've ever had, but since they tore down Munchie's in Elk Grove Village after the owner retired. It's the best I can get. Portillo's beef is very good.

Portillos combo is good. I've had a lot of the staples in Chicago and while Portillos isn't the best, it definitely scratches the itch. Luckily I travel to Orlando a couple times a year for work and they have 1 there. My opinion is without the italian sausage snap, the Beef is good for like 2 bites. The combo gives you the best of both worlds. Assuming you are ok with a little stomach acid.

Bumping terrible threads talking about food on a hockey forum.

You got me. Here is my full confession.

I am 3 things.

- I am Army's Sock Puppet,
- the 5th-cousin twice-removed of the Moderator's housekeeper, and
- I am always right.

A possible 2 out of three ain't bad.

I hear on BluesTalk often that Army excels at finding gems in the draft, etc.

Based on this, I'm guessing that everyone is more than happy to track the points of his high draft picks and compare those results with what other teams are getting. True? Or am I reading the room wrong? What are your objections with the additional sunlight?

You always complain (b**ch) people don't respond to you with facts. I did, and you passed it right by.

The Blues are doing very well by their draft picks. The NHL doesn't grade outcomes by your criterion, they use a W-L-OTL point system in the regular season, then play a tournament. Your laser-focus on high draft pedigree would be self-defeating for virtually all teams.
