Blues select Berggren

[TruBlueFan_1970]

Right now my lines would be

Neighbors, Thomas, Buch
Fabbri, Devo, Bergrenn
Stenberg, Schenn, Suter
Joseph, Sunny, Torpo

I would swap Dvo and Suter, but put Schenn on the wing. Thought I read where Suter, Fabbri and Berggren were on a line at one time in Detroit.

JN-Thomas-Buch
Fabbri-Suter-Berggren
Schenn-Suter-Joseph/Stenberg
Toro-Sunny-Joseph/Stenberg

[TruBlueFan_1970]

I hopefully that the Fabbri and Berggren pick ups work out better than say Vrana. It definitely always us to move Schenn and another forward.

Say when everyone is healthy

Buch, Thomas, Snuggy
Neighbors, Devo, Kyrou
Fabrri, Suter, Berggren
Torpo, BJUSTAD, Joseph
Sunny, Walker

What about Holloway?

Was gonna say the same thing. Gonna have some trimming to do if they ever get healthy. I’d go:

Neighbours - Thomas - Buch
Holloway - Schenn - Kyrou
Berggren - Suter/Dvo - Fabbri
Toro - Sunny/Bjug - Joseph
Walker

Guessing one of Berggren/Fabbri would get sent down, cuz Monty loves him some Sunny.

Army has used Offer Sheets to bring in young prospects better than we have. (Holloway, Broberg)

Army has used Trades to find a young defensive prospect better than we have. (Mailloux)

Isn't it amazing how good GM moves can can look when your roster sucks? Army finds talent because he must. He can't find any on his own via the NHL draft.

Now with Berggren, will Army do it a 3rd way? Will he find one of the team's best player off waivers?

Before you applaud Army, please consider that the players may be be the best on our team, but they were all NON-STARTERS on other rosters. With each move, Army is covering up his mistakes, not building a Stanley Cup roster.

Are you saying Mailloux is better than the defensive prospects we have?

If so, then we are in much bigger trouble than I thought.

You’re such a redundant transparent frown clown. I bet it chafes your Vajazzle that Mailloux has started showing promise and has been playin well for weeks now. AMIRITE, or AMIRITE.

Mailloux playing well?

Love the signing. Low risk.

Hmm, i guess why not hes immediately better than McGing or Luff

IDK, McGing has played pretty decently.

IDK, McGing has played pretty decently.

He was, for a bottom 6 guy. Better some moments than others, but as good as could be expected.

But Berggren has as many NHL points this season as McGing has AHL points, and Hugh hasn't scored more than 39 points at any level since USHL 10 years ago, whereas Jonatan scored 64 and was basically a PPG player in the AHL regular season and playoffs with a great rookie NHL season.

There is a clear difference in talent level, but it's anybody's guess why Berggren has regressed into his age 25 season.

I'll wait to see what the energy level is.

McGing came in and played balls out and hard not to respect that and also recognize how the rest of the team needs to do the same dam thing if they want to win hockey games.

I don't really equate that to soft, Otto and Dvo don't look soft.

Eh, Berggren played pretty well last night, but 99.9% of the time you’re gonna get all out full effort from a player in the beginning of his tenure with a new team, just like the new coach spark that usually happens, so just ride it out and then release em or put em back on waivers when he starts sucking again. If he’s the .01% that sustains his good play once and for all and becomes consistent, then even better.
