If they had one fewer point they would not have made the playoffs. They would still have drafted a player that not only I told you specifically about IN APRIL who they should draft and eventually did draft, but also you said you went to the prospect camp and thought it was an outstanding pick.
You're a sham all the way down
I love Carbonneau and still do. However, the only problem is that we need a C and a RHD, and the elite ones were gone.
Remember about a month ago when you heard that the Blues have a "glut of wingers", and therefore we can try to trade for a position of need?
Well, guess what. The GLUT existed before the 2025 draft --- SO WHY TAKE ANOTHER WINGER at the draft? Why do you think that happened?
You take Carbonneau because he is a special player and was the best player available. You don't draft for need in round 1 certainly. That is why that happened.
Part of the reason it happened is because you have correctly noticed that there tends to be a run on centers and it displaces wingers. Notice that Victor Eklund fell too. But that is other orgs feeling tension about the position. Had Carbonneau been taken the pick prior, the Blues would/should have drafted Reschny next because he was BPA and you can never have too many, But the same person who told you that Carbonneau would be an excellent pick is telling you that the Blues have Dvorsky who is going to be a center. Looks like they want Stancl to be a center too, based on early returns in Springfield. So why do you belligerently choose to ignore what you want to ignore in order to serve this daily grind of new threads saying the same thing and agitating the same 100 people over and over as if you are preaching to a choir of thousands. Look at the thread reads, man. You're telling the same people the same thing. Every day. You know that is antisocial. You reply with all the game playing and all this fanciful blather of third personry, whatever. You're deliberately being antisocial and you know it. Just, choose to stop. Ok? Take a break at the very minimum. Jesus dude
I see that my influence is spreading beyond the 100.
Swaying minds requires exposing facts relentlessly. I wish I didn't have to be on here either, but I'm not going to sit back and watch Army destroy the Blues franchise.

There will be no "break" from Smelly! He lives to antagonize. It's like oxygen for him. Same groundhog day over and over with this "SPECIAL" poster!
Nearly every day I see lists of the top players in the NHL. I had grand hopes for the re-whatever, and then Army called it over.
Take solace. You are not any more aggravated and annoyed than I.
Blues in the 2018-19 Cup season lost 4 of their first 5 home games, in one game allowing seven goals to the Blue Jackets. In a Nov 24 home game they lost 8-4 to the Jets.

If you had a romantic partner and you explained to them what you were doing and you told them "swaying minds requires exposing facts relentlessly" and they said "what facts" and you said "my opinion that I hate the GM and everyone should rage alongside me and because they choose not to I refuse to allow it so I have successfully united an entire group of people who have their own grudges in a singular and complete, total disrespect for me."
You would be less attractive to them afterward.
So you don't have one, and you certainly have to hide what you do if you do.

So we should have abandoned the playoffs so that we could get a better draft pick? The goal is to win the Cup. You can’t win the Cup if you don’t make the playoffs.
This guy has to be a schtick right? No way he really thinks like that is there?
Of course "we" [Blues] should have. No sports team that doesn't have depth of top-5 draft picks should ever aspire to win games, set winning streak records, or make the playoffs and give a President's Trophy team a hard time, going over 16 minutes in 2OT in game 7.
I reject these bloggers and their opinions outright, it's either immaturity or they are playing mind games (being dishonest). Since the beginning in 1967 I have never attended or tuned in to a Blues game wanting them to lose, or being satisfied that they did lose [except for a brief period when I was trying to be a hometown Thrashers fan and the Blues were down]. What fan would?
I encourage everyone to give an ear to outside opinion on what an NHL team needs to win.
ONLY ARMSTRONG AND THE BLUES will tell you that top-tier elite talent is NOT NEEDED on the roster! They are the only team in the NHL to say this.
Instead, the Blues focus on "staying compettive". That is their highest priority, and that is how they spell success.
Do you know who wins when the Blues "stay competitive"? The wallet, and I'm not talking about yours.
Do you know what happens when the wallet is not served? I do, so do many other posters. It's not pretty.
Do you know what happens when the wallet is not served the same way in 1 CITY, compared to all others?
Answer: Stan Kroenke moves the Rams to LA.
If St Louis can't play on the same field, on the same terms as every other franchise, they I say MOVE MOVE MOVE. I don't care to watch cash registers ring.
did this Bot just compare the Lambs to the Blues. The same Lambs that drafted multiple times in the top 5 and Number 1-2 picks over a 10 year period and had the biggest losing record in a 10 year run?
Looks like the Blues are safe. They are doing all the opposite things that the Lambs did in STL. Buffalo should be worried I guess according to Goblin Goo Bot

You're very divorced dad energy
He only chose his position because its a very easy opinion to have. The only reason hes still doing this is because he only needs one person to interact with him. He wont go away till hes bored because someone will feel the need to tell him he is wrong. Its a easy position to sit and say “we want a generational player or 2”

ASOGG, if high draft picks fascinate you so much, go away and be a fan of Sabres, Islanders or Sharks.
Nah. I just want my St Louis Blues to be on the same level as EVERY OTHER TEAM in the NHL.
Every NHL team has at least 1 TOP5 pick (that they selected). Florida and Edmonton each have 2.
That's all that I'm asking.
Every??
Florida has 2.
Edmonton has 2.
The Blues have had 1 #10 pick since Army has been here, and that player is not in the NHL yet.
We need a high pick, and we need a GM that knows what to do with it.
It’s impossible for you to know whether the GM doesn’t know what to do with a top5 pick if the GM has never had a top5 pick.
I still find it amusing that smelly thinks you have to have a top 5 pick to win the cup, 32 teams don't win the cup every year so that means he has like a 97% chance of being right on any given year. So we have to endure this non-sense forever.
Truly a transformational thinker on this board.
Edit: To add the competitive teams right now in most cases are just blatant uses of cap shenanigans, it has almost nothing to with drafting once you have an established core. Between the Dodgers in MLB, the Golden State/Miami fiasco in the NBA, and the LTIR shenanigans in the NHL I'd make the argument that far too often over the last 15 years the front office has made far more impact than drafting could have. I would also make the statement that I don't think any of those situations were intended by the spirit of the respective rules, teams just spent more money than others could. Super lame way to get pushed out of contention.

2 teams is far from every. You said EVERY.
Every playoff team had at least 1, except the Blues.
We all know that Buffalo and the other recent bad clubs have at least 1.
Do the math, grasshopper.
The late wn streak meant NOTHING for the going forward. The Blues were playing while the others were resting and sleeping.
ASOGG and his sock puppet Army warned you.
Oh, the Blues are on National TV often again in March. Isnt that convenient? Look for another win streak from the mediocre team in March. You heard it from ASOGG first.
