Lmao no. It means they would have gotten a rebuild-level draft pick without ever truly rebuilding. Would very much speed up the turn around.

Unfortunately it isn't going to happen though. This team isn't good but they aren't *this* bad. At some point things will even out.
Spending to the cap limit and missing the playoffs is a failure.
Just missing the playoffs does less for the future then finishing near the bottom of the standings. So all I'm saying is if we are going to miss, which is likely, then let's MISS.

Im not sure if you are saying tynan is big in stature or skill but he is listed 6ft 185. I agree he has big skill if thats what you mean. Only high ranked true center i believe.

Ethan belchetz 6ft5. 230ish lbs winger.

Ryan roobroeck 6ft4 215ish. Listed c/w.

Neither. Belchetz is the guy.

I dont think the Blues reach that far with the #3 pick. There is a less than zero chance that Verhoeff goes at least Top 3 if not higher when the dust settles

The Blues have a pretty decent chance of being out of the playoff picture and being dead last by the end of the calendar year. They could easily lose their next 5 games, and only Buffalo & maybe the Rangers are winnable games.
They have a great chance at a top 5 pick and probably a 20-25% chance at the 1st overall pick. I wish I was wrong, just being honest and realistic.
The injuries are no excuse for their record. They sucked when they were healthy too. And their "veterans" continue to make mistakes that our rookies get called out for on the broadcasts.....

I was going to say the same, coming from a guy whos team has been a complete disaster for 10 years.

We have one terrible year and its the WORST ON RECORD

Also who gives a [shirt] if it is, we cant control it, might as well be excited over a top pick to go with our stable of young guys.

This team was horrid from the beginning with little to no cap space left. That's inexcusable no matter how you slice it.

Look at where the Hawks and Blues were predicted to end up compared to where they are today.

Since Army was appointed June, 2010 the Blues are still the 5th best NHL franchise in Points and Wins. As a Blues fan you would take the Doug Armstrong appointment every single day regardless. But yep this season has gone very very wrong. In fact everything that could have gone wrong has gone wrong when Army needed virtually everything to go well.
However somehow due to parity the Blues are 4pts back of a WC spot.

The Blues have played a couple more games than everybody they're chasing or being chased by...

Seattle is one point behind and have played four less games.

I just don't see the Blues making a run and I think the Hawks drop will drop to the bottom of the division.

Do you like playing the lottery?
