Come on Top 3 pick!
Pierre LeBrun: Re Blues: I've been told by other teams that [GM Armstrong] has said, I don't care if we make the playoffs or not, we're not beating Colorado in the first round, so I'm still listening on all these guys - OverDrive (1/8)

This signals the right approach hopefully..

Re: Come on Top 3 pick!
Whoever gets the second wild card spot gets destroyed in Round 1, so you have to shoot for the first wild card. That makes the hill to climb even steeper. Or would that be "more steep"?
I hope LeBrun is right and that is Armstrong's mindset.

If that is his mindset then why not just tank?

This is the tank. He has to actively shop what we're selling. Nobody is lining up for what's left of Kyrou...

I don't care if we can make the playoffs or not.
This friggin guy has a lot of faith in the stack of cacca he assembled - that's ballsy of him to say less than a year after claiming the re-whatever is over.

Re: Come on Top 3 pick!
This such a strange season with so many teams still bunched up, and really no terrible teams.
Blues are a win streak away from wild card spot contention, a losing streak from the #1 pick.
If there ever was a fortunate time to have a setback season, it would be one where you can land a top 5 pick.

Re: Come on Top 3 pick!
I never want to root against the Blues but I'm going to do so until the end of this season. There is nothing that gives me a sliver of hope that this group can turn it around.
We have two games in hand on both WPG and VAN. WPG's goal differential is -8 while ours is like -3247423. Seems to me a team with that record with that small a differential is running into a sheet ton of bad luck. Let's root for that luck to turn around. There are also four bottom dwellers in the East but right now all are a bit ahead of us in points.
The schedule up to the winter break is brutal and I like that. CAR, TB, EDM, WPG, DAL x3, LA, FLA, CBJ, NSH. 6 home 5 road. A nice little 2-8-1 kind of stretch there would be ideal.
Then after the break schedule the Blues auction. Break up the band and get as much as we can.

Re: Come on Top 3 pick!
Winnepeg has their goalie back they will win more games than the Blues. Blues had the 9th toughest SOS left and no doubt the Blues are at least trading two veterans soon so i dont imagine the Blues are falling too far away from the Top 5 this year .
My guess is if Ivar Stenberg is available the Blues are taking him whethers its #1 or #3

Re: Come on Top 3 pick!
That’s my worry. Whoever starts typically goes the distance, so hoping it’s not Binnington. Most people say it shouldn’t be from what I’ve heard. He’s actually been pretty ooor for Canada outside of the one gamePierre McGuire wrote: ↑12 Jan 2026 12:34 pmNext to Army, nobody has more confidence in Binner than Coopertheograce wrote: ↑12 Jan 2026 12:31 pmHoping Cooper doesn’t choose himPierre McGuire wrote: ↑12 Jan 2026 12:29 pmArmy rolling the dice that Binner brings home gold for Team Canada and then we see what we can getJeff Goldblum wrote: ↑12 Jan 2026 12:03 pmIm just saying its not a tank until kyrou, schenn, Faulk, binnington, etc are gone.
