So, in 15 Games, RW LHS Chinakhov has 8 points playing next to Malkin.
In 19 Games, RW LHS Berggren also has 8 points

Chinakhov cost a 2nd round draft pick in 2026, a 3rd round draft pick in 2027 and Danton Heinen.

Berggren? He was acquired via waivers…

Broberg and Holloway were acquired from the Blues 2025 2nd round pick, not their 2026 Round 2.

No matter how you look at it...
Hayes cost the Blues the 2026 Round 2 pick.
The whole Hayes debacle was a mess.
One of Army's biggest blunders.
That said, he got us our Cup.

Moral of the Story...

Army tells fans that he doesn't need top picks.

Hayes tells us that Army needs top picks.

Hayes tells us that the Blues Scouting Dept can make bad and costly mistakes about player talent.

Hayes tells us that Army's men better be scouting very hard with the top pick that we have in 2026.

Wow. Chinakov gets an "A" on the recent report card.
game-wrecker; speed and shot are mesmerizing. His ceiling is high.

In Summary...
Army picks up Hayes, and then to get rid of Hayes one year later, he has to give away a 2nd-round choice to Pittsburgh who then parlays that pick into Chinakov.

Does Army know talent? Why does Army get so little value from the NHL draft--compared to other teams?

If you don’t like someone, that’s fine but can’t you just let it go at that. You give yourself way too much credit for what you think you are bringing to the table. You ruin most of the discussions you take part in daily. People have tried to tell you as much but you just ignore them to continue to ruin this forum.

Enjoy the day. Even in January there are lots of things to do.
Anyone that doesn't want to hear the truth can put me on ignore. It's that simple.

As far as what I bring. I fight for hockey in St Louis. I don't accept cheap answers from Blues management.

You mistake my hate for Army for love of hockey in St Louis.
Can one "Tell the truth" and be a liar?

Those who renege on proud promises should be humble and penitent.

You are neither.
