Parayko going to Buffalo if approves

[The Average Gatsby]

And he doesn't play on the PP

Samuelsson-Dahlin
Byram-Parayko
Power-Kesselring

Am I underestimating another team in the East, or is it possible that might be the best top 6 in the conference now?

The other team in the conversation would have to be Tampa, but I agree with you because of the age and miles on Hedman and McD.
I still think the Bolts may add a RHD to round that veteran group out.
Detroit will also look to add a RHD

If CP55 approves, does Army keep Faulk to play big minutes on the right side and hold the hands of the youngsters next year?

Faulk isn't nearly good enough anymore to handle those minutes. I don't understand this one at all.

You don't understand this potential trade? Are you in loser denial?

Yes i don't understand this potential trade because we don't have anyone good enough to take his place. Faulk certainly isn't, the cost to get a 1st line RHD is extremely expensive as displayed by this potential trade. Mailloux, Jiricek, and Mrtka certainly aren't it at this point in their careers, so yes I don't understand this trade.

A trade that might make us better in 5 years is not a great trade.

Would you rather be a middling team for 5 years or be bad for a few and then be a contender?

Are those the only two options?

Pretty much. Rebuilding isn’t a guarantee it will work but continuing to stay just in or just out of the playoffs forever is a definitely won’t.

So those aren't the only two options then. Got it.

What’s your big plan?

I'm not a GM, why would I need a plan?

I thought you had opinions about this hockey team that you might want to discuss on this hockey forum. Clearly I was mistaken.

Ahhh I see now, because I don't believe the only two options available to the Blues is be a middling team for 5 years, or blow it up and guarantee contention means I should have a plan. I get it we are trying to be snarky. No problem.

I’m asking what you think this team should do. I think the other poster was spot on. We haven’t won a playoff round since 2022. Before the season I thought we had turned a corner and were building something but that didn’t happen. We are bad. We are bad if we choose to rebuild and we are bad if we choose not to. If we rebuild it’s a least giving us a chance to be good in a few years.
