3-0-0 without Kyrou. 8-12-7 With Kyrou

[Midnight Ryder]

The tide is high

[Harry York 37]

Kyrou has is deficits, as every player has. Dumping the team's problems on him, based on those stats, is a reach.

Conversely, Blues are 10-5-5 when Kessel plays, and 7-15-3 when he doesn't. Does that make him the savior?

When Kyrou is out, we can roll four relentless and hungry forward lines.
There is a great deal of pride and confidence that springs from that.

We lose it when 25 is dressed.

Kyrou is supposed to be our game breaker. Kessel is not.

He is? Says who? And what is a "game breaker"?

Harry York 37, you are a good poster, but there's nothing Kyrou could do that would appreciate or acknowledge.

[xweazel75]

Trash take.

Kyrou isnt the reason the Blues lost three in a row this road trip. Hes been good since returning to the top line. Maybe the coaches will let that line continue to develop chemistry.

Looking forward to Hollywood's return. Changes coming.

Says his $8M contract. I game breaker is a player who puts the team on his back when necessary, scores the important goal when the pressure is on, takes games over willfully, etc.

[Frivolousz50]

Jk reaction when Berube was fired made it obvious he is man baby.

It seems effort and sacrifice are not mutually exclusive with intelligence.

So even if Kyrou is dumb it can't explain why he is so pathetic.

I begged for the blues to terminate his contract back when it would have been a bit to big of a hit.

Now they need to trade for literally anything or terminate or try sending him down.

No matter what happens it will help us.

I'm sure 8M is a lot to you, it would be to me. But Kyrou is the 72nd highest paid player in the league. If you believe that there are 73 game breaking players in the NHL, then I can understand your point. Personally, I think there's about 15-20 game breaking players in the NHL. Kyrou is not one of them, nor is he paid like one (IMO).

Great post. What's more, as the cap (and salaries) rise, his 72nd ranking will continue to drop.

I don't go out on limbs like this for no reason.
I have swung back and forth on Kyrou twice since he's been a starter.
I give him props when he doesn't suck hard, even now. I have had very little reason to give him any props in ages.
I am starting to pity him., but he surely made his own 65 million dollar bed.

Him and Thomas were made the highest paid players with the longest term. They were clearly paid to be the stars of the team. The only skill kyrou had was scoring goals. So yes he was paid to be a game breaker.

If you want to roll the clock back, we can do that too. Kyrou's 8M salary took effect for the 22-23 season. His salary was 57th highest in the league that year. Again, if you believe there are 100 game breaking players in the league, then I can understand your assertion that his salary is commensurate with a game breaking player. I would disagree, since my contention is that there are only 20ish game breaking players in the league, and his salary doesn't compare with those 20 odd players even when he signed his deal.

Oddly enough - if you go back to that year, Kyrou was paid as the 57th highest salary in the league, but was 25th in the league in goals that year. One could make the statement he has outperformed his contract at times.

Every team has a game breaker. And ours is on pace for 40 points.

[BalotelliMassive]

On pace for 35 points for the year.

He's our highest paid player, game breaker or not. I would bet every other team has at least 1 player you'd rather have than Kyrou, period. Dude has the tools of an 8M player, but the head of a 2M player, and no heart to speak of. The tools alone mean other teams will have interest in him in a change of scenery deal, and he might well pop off elsewhere.

But he's not worth what he's paid here. Not when he's playing like he's played this whole year.

[blues2112]

the miracle hammers every nail.

Other "game breaker" responders consider Kyrou a failure unless he hits like Stevens AND passes like Gretzky AND shoots like Hull EVERY time in EVERY situation, regardless of line mates, how's he's played, etc.

Again, he's far from perfect, and I get the ease of (bleep), especially the team is in Funkville.

Put down the vape and the keyboard rage.
