Thank you, Sir!

When was the last time anyone saw Kyrou actually use his "All-Star Game Fastest Skater" speed?
Almost makes you wonder if he still fricken has it....
That’s my biggest issue with him. I honestly can’t remember when I saw him use his speed. It’s a huge asset yet he refuses to use it, which means he is either lazy or stupid.

By comparison, watch MacKinnon tonight. He uses his speed on EVERY, single shift. That’s why MacKinnon is great and why Kyrou isn’t.

Yea that’s very frustrating. And he’s trending less noticeable as he ages

Look at the goal Caufield scored last night. Why can’t Kyrou do that ever?

Because he has difficulty handling the puck, which is also a very important skill to protect the puck.

we aren't trading him to Colorado. There's absolutely no way he's traded in division. I'd say New York is a possibility, definitely not Pitt they have nothing of value to trade, Ottawa doesn't have much, and Edmonton we've beaten to death about their lack of trade fodder.

If he's traded it has to be someone of equal value with term on his contract and there just aren't many of those other there.
I think they will trade him to whoever gives the best package and he’s willing to go there. Not every team will be interested in trading for him.

I think the fan base has seen enough of Kyrou. Three coaches, including a SC winner and a Jack Adsams winner, have thrown up their hands.
The outcry will not be as great as it would have been before his attitude became obvious to any fans who pay attention.
How many times can he keep getting a second, or third, or fourth chance?

Unfortunately, the entire league knows what Kyrou is. The Blues won't get anywhere close to what the experts on this board believe it to be. Army and Steen know what his value is across the league. Why do you think Montreal and Buffalo turned the Blues down when he was dangled in the Mailloux and Dobson deals? At this point, I think the Blues are just hoping that he figures it out. But I would have to think that his leash is getting shorter and shorter ... and another healthy scratch is looming.

Its so complex. How do you even trade a Kyrou or Buch?
They have a big say.
Hypothetical--If Kyrou would go to Ottawa---
How would that even work?
We eat salary and take back Zetterlund or Greig and their salaries.
What else would we get Logan Henseler and Zetterlund for Kyrou and a 3rd Rounder with us picking up salary?
Would they even do that? Do we need to throw in a draft pick?

Hes almost untradeable imo.

Buchnevich--guy isnt that good. He cant finish--who would want that?

He's still scored 25+ including 3 seasons of 30 goals 3 out of the last 4 years with 6 years left on a below market contract. Experts or not that kind of player isn't going to just return a prospect or pick. He will get value in return.

Honest question: If Kyrou has all of this game breaking talent ... why doesn't his talent take over a game when it counts? I don't recall witnessing a game where his speed and talent has made a difference for a full sixty minutes. A game where his speed backs off the D. A game where every shift finds him to be a scoring threat. Correct me if I'm wrong.

It happens about 6 times per year. I think after the last time he was scratched he had a really strong game. Either way the team needs to move him and or Buch. Can’t have 16 million tied up in those two and not have them be counted on in most games.

No player is a scoring threat every shift … that’s not to take away your point. Kyrou is more of a game breaker when on, than a dominant player.

But Thomas is a ghost this year too. Something in the water

First of all, that’s your opinion, not a fact. It’s an $8 mil cap hit, not the talent issue. Yes they’ll take a loss on return because the fan base and media have destroyed his reputation. It just doesn’t fit here. You’re also going to have issues going forward with skill players wanting to play here because of the “culture”. IMO
