And then we have our St Louis Blues....

With each passing day, the value of the NHL draft to the Blues future decreases. At this point, BluesTalkers have been trained by Blues Management to NOT EVEN CARE what value we get from the NHL Draft.

Instead..... The Blues are building the future from the other team's discard piles. McTavish, McMichael, Broberg, Holloway were all NOT GOOD ENOUGH to crack and stay on the roster, but on the BLUES they will be our CORE.

Congrat's Sport's Fans. Welcome to long-term mediocrity--UNLESS OF COURSE--you believe that the Blues will be SUCCESSFUL in a way that NO OTHER FRANCHISE IN HISTORY HAS.
Maybe you should enjoy your life instead of tormenting Die Hard blues fans with this nonsense.#1 picks do not win championships. Teams do. Blues are a well run franchise. Everyone else sees it. Go follow San Jose, Chicago and Toronto they have draft picks and will be drafting near the bottom. Sorry, just tired of seeing this B.S.
And I'm tired of seeing every NHL city get NHL draft excitement--while St Louis gets nothing. I've been waiting for nearly 20 years. Let's strategize again when you have been seeing my B.S. for 20 years. At that point, we'll be somewhat tied in frustration.
Why is it that you seem to think that you are the only Blues fan? I've been a Blues fan since the early 70's when a neighbor took me to my 1st Blues game. I'm been excited EVERY season since for the chance to see the Blues win the Cup, but when they don't my world doesn't come to an end and I don't whine to the world how mean they were for not winning it MY WAY. You continue to cry that no one takes your posts serious, but refuse to realize that no one takes a moron serious that continues to post useless nonsense each and every day reminding everyone how the Blues don't follow YOUR rules of engagement.

Everyone here knows that you are the biggest troll here since Bleeder left so I realize that none of this really means anything to you and you'll just continue with your daily garbage posts anyways. Knowing this I will now put you on ignore like an actual true Blues fan should.

We don't seem to have independent sportswriters/podcasters in this town. We have groupies. With me, you get unfiltered. unpolished, unbiased access to common sense opinion. Ignore me, but I have a great track record of predicting team results.

Cheers.
