Just missing the playoffs does less for the future then finishing near the bottom of the standings. So all I'm saying is if we are going to miss, which is likely, then let's MISS.BalotelliMassive wrote: ↑30 Oct 2025 09:53 amSpending to the cap limit and missing the playoffs is a failure.sdaltons wrote: ↑30 Oct 2025 09:31 amLmao no. It means they would have gotten a rebuild-level draft pick without ever truly rebuilding. Would very much speed up the turn around.BalotelliMassive wrote: ↑28 Oct 2025 07:59 am If this team picks top ten then this season is a complete disaster....one of their worst on record.
Unfortunately it isn't going to happen though. This team isn't good but they aren't *this* bad. At some point things will even out.

Im not sure if you are saying tynan is big in stature or skill but he is listed 6ft 185. I agree he has big skill if thats what you mean. Only high ranked true center i believe.
Ethan belchetz 6ft5. 230ish lbs winger.
Ryan roobroeck 6ft4 215ish. Listed c/w.

Re: It's Official...Blues Select Ivar Stenberg
I dont think the Blues reach that far with the #3 pick. There is a less than zero chance that Verhoeff goes at least Top 3 if not higher when the dust settlesTruBlueFan_1970 wrote: ↑16 Dec 2025 11:28 amNeither.

Re: It's Official...Blues Select Ivar Stenberg
The Blues have a pretty decent chance of being out of the playoff picture and being dead last by the end of the calendar year. They could easily lose their next 5 games, and only Buffalo & maybe the Rangers are winnable games.
They have a great chance at a top 5 pick and probably a 20-25% chance at the 1st overall pick. I wish I was wrong, just being honest and realistic.
The injuries are no excuse for their record. They sucked when they were healthy too. And their "veterans" continue to make mistakes that our rookies get called out for on the broadcasts.....

We have one terrible year and its the WORST ON RECORD
Also who gives a [shirt] if it is, we cant control it, might as well be excited over a top pick to go with our stable of young guys.

This team was horrid from the beginning with little to no cap space left. That's inexcusable no matter how you slice it.Snuggyfresh wrote: ↑16 Dec 2025 12:09 pmAre you jelly that blues have high end talented ypu players then may get a top 3 stud as well.BalotelliMassive wrote: ↑28 Oct 2025 07:59 aml·l

Look at where the Hawks and Blues were predicted to end up compared to where they are today.

Re: It's Official...Blues Select Ivar Stenberg
Since Army was appointed June, 2010 the Blues are still the 5th best NHL franchise in Points and Wins. As a Blues fan you would take the Doug Armstrong appointment every single day regardless. But yep this season has gone very very wrong. In fact everything that could have gone wrong has gone wrong when Army needed virtually everything to go well.son_of_foolsgold wrote: ↑16 Dec 2025 12:21 pmAgreed Army is a FAILUREBalotelliMassive wrote: ↑30 Oct 2025 09:53 amSpending to the cap limit and missing the playoffs is a failure.sdaltons wrote: ↑30 Oct 2025 09:31 amLmao no.

However somehow due to parity the Blues are 4pts back of a WC spot.

Seattle is one point behind and have played four less games.
I just don't see the Blues making a run and I think the Hawks drop will drop to the bottom of the division.
