Otto Stenberg rookie scoring

[Harry S Deals]

Otto has been a very nice revelation for frustrated Blues fans, a glimpse of good things to come fo sho

Otto made his debut on 12/17 has played in 13 GP

1 goal 6 assists ranks him tied for 7th in NHL rookie scoring over this span
Tied for 5th with +5
Tied for 1st short hand assists...1

Doing this with only 13:36 per game which is around 36th in NHL Rookie ATOI over this span.

Great performance so far for this

[The Average Gatsby]

Blues are going to have to make some decisions soon. Otto deserves to stay just based on his play so far.

Stenberg isn't going anywhere.

someone has to go somewhere. it's clear Fabbri will be the odd man out. But Holloway Suter and Thomas are 100 percent in the lineup unless they find a trade partner for Suter which I hope they don't because it just creates more problems for next year's center position. Players like that almost always play better in year 2.

There might be a mini trade deadline before the Olympics, I just don't see any buyers for Bjug, Sunny, Joseph. And it would be reckless to cut them for no value when you definitely can get something closer to the trade deadline. It Appears Berg is doing enough to show some ability. Seen him check a few which was his apparent flaw. And he looks more noticeable at times with his speed up the wing then just about anyone of the wingers atm.

It will be

Joseph
Fabbri

the first to go if the Blues get Holloway and or Suter back. I could see Suter being dealt, perhaps a Bjugstad as well at some point. of course we discussed Schenn, perhaps Kyrou. But yea i dont see a scenario where Stenberg, nor Dvorsky or Snuggerud are going anywhere

[MiamiLaw]

He’s been very good and getting some responsibility too! He was out there for Bjug’s shorty and got an assist on it!

Dvorsky has been pretty good too on the whole though a bit more up and down. Playing center though.

Overall, both have been as advertised and obvious NHL talent.

Right now Joseph and Suter are shown as IR. I could definitely see a 2nd or 3rd pick for Nick Bjugstad at the TDL it would suck because he is a useful guy but the team probably needs the pick more than NB

If Stenberg grows into a better offensive game he's really a replacement for Buchnevich, not that it would hurt to have both playing well. I'm sure Steen appreciates his potential.

[DawgDad]

As for Dvorsky, that was one of his better games last night, if not the best. He was engaged and getting it done all over the ice.

The knock on him as a center seems to be he's more of a finisher than a playmaker. Stenberg is the opposite. Dvorsky makes some mistakes still but he plays the game responsibly from his goal out and his breakout/transition skills are very good.

[dtkblueshockey]

I would like to see more Fabbri playing. I don’t get why he’s sitting. Walker is OK but he doesn’t have much offensive talent. If the issue is with goal production I’d rather have Fabbri in there.

[rangergiff]

Posted this in on another thread a week or so ago but Stenberg, while deserving to be here, can be sent down without clearing waivers. Proper asset management says that will factor in. That leaves Fabbri and Joseph as the ones to get moved in my opinion. I honestly can't see Suter being traded till the deadline, but I for one hope he stays. I like what he brings. A great 3rd line center and a decent option even as a 2nd in a pinch. Last night's win was great but I don't see it in the cards for this team and believe that changes to the core have to be made. The core is Schenn, Bennie, Parayko, Thomas and Kyrou. I can't see Schenn being the problem but I feel he is gone either way. I'm a Bennie apologist but I'm not sure he can be traded as bad as he has been most of this year. If he goes to Milan and shines then someone might pick him up for a decent return. Otherwise he is a solid backup until he plays better. Thomas and Parayko pose a problem in a different way. In my opinion, either would bring a significant return but would leave a massive hole in the lineup. The moment they are traded, we are searching for their replacement. In the current marketplace that will be difficult. At the rising salary structure it will be impossible. That leaves Kyrou. I'm sure there will be takers. He is a past 35+ goal scorer on a reasonable cap hit that will look great as time goes by. I just don't think we will get a great return for him. Deadline deals are coming. The offseason will likely bring bigger change though. Just my opinion.

i think next year we part ways with kyrou, schenn, faulk.

take our top 5 pick and then let the kids play. i rather watch them then this group.

Carbonneau is a stud, =Jircik stud, lindsten making steps

Walker is 100% a different player than Fabbri, Walker is face first hits everybody, will fight, heart and soul guy. They love him he aint going anywhere. We all love the Fabbri story but he is a fringe JAG he wont be around long

There are a lot of variables coming the safe money right now says Faulk, Schenn and Binnington are gone before next training camp. I think Joseph and Fabbri are gone too in the short term. I think Bjugstad and Sunny will remain but nothing would surprise me upcoming. I dont think Steen will be able to deal Kyrou or Buch. I am not 100% sure on Berggren he is an RFA he could be retained cheaply he has hustled in STL he has skilll i dont know if there is an internal replacement forthcoming from the AHL but Holloway is still here too so I am not sure what they do with Berggren it kinda comes down to Berggren vs Bjugstad and I think NB sticks

Neighbours Thomas Snuggerud
Stenberg Dvorsky Holloway
Buchnevich Suter Kyrou
Walker Sunny Torop/Bjugstad/Top 4 pick?

Broberg Parayko
Fowler Jiricek
Tucker/* Mailloux

Hofer
Zherenko

Need to move Kyrou and Buch. Carbonneau should make it next season.

Agree. Not to get OT on Stenberg, but Dvorksy’s time has shown just how much he needs to work on his skating (like Backes did). He’s flat out slow. It’s a good sign that he’s playing well even with that flaw, but it needs to get better.

Stenberg just looks like a solid and smart player. In another thread, I commented that he reminded me of a young Steen, but without as good of a shot. Hope he stays all season, or if sent down prior to trade deadline, hope he’s brought right back up.
