Broberg Extension

[DawgDad]

The Blues are moving toward new and younger players. It's going to take time for them to realize their full potential. I tend, I believe, to look at the bigger picture. Where and how were the Blues going to come up with a better prospect than Broberg? A player today with his projected potential? How does he compare to other young defensemen? Well? He's clearly got more potential than any young defenseman in the system other than Jiricek. He's getting good reviews around the league. He passes the eye test on everything but Bortuzzo style toughness (even Pietrangelo didn't register there). That's all. He's a good player who I hope will not be held back by concussion issues.

NHL players have spoken about how dirty/nasty pietrangelo was to play against. He was a fierce competitor and warrior. He’s a Blues legend. For a guy who says he sees he sees the big picture … I guess you whiffed on that

Can it. No sale.

Per Monty:

-- Broberg (concussion protocol), day to day, making progress.

-- Thomas (lower body), questionable for Tuesday.

-- Joseph (elbow infection), day to day.

I'm glad the Joseph thing isn't because of just deemed not good enough to be in the lineup. He's been an even player for the Blues this year. He has had a couple bad games. But for the most part he has been a spark plug out there.

For sure. When he wasn’t in for either of the back to backs it felt like something had to be going on health wise. It appears they’re afraid to scratch Devo, thinking it will hurt his confidence? I guess with Suter + Bugj out they are short on center options.
