I'm guessing Mailloux's NHL time is about to come to an end and Kessel is pressbox bound. I liked Rosen when he was here better than some of that garbage they used (Leddy, Scandella, Bortz, etc)...he was a +19 on a really horrid Blues team. I'm guessing he's not going to be long in the AHL.
Yes it would be incredibly smart to place LM on waivers right now. Good lord
I'm pretty sure he's waiver exempt due to lack of games required.
Phew ok then. That makes sense. Apologies to smilinjoe.
Still wouldn't go that route though. Keep him here and playing.

They just played against Rosen this weekend. Three losing games btw. Tbirds announcer was like "hey Calle Rosen is out there at 31 and can still skate" - they are looking for something to replace what they lost in the puck carrying with Leddy.
They had Scheneman playing with Johannesson. (When he played with Loof it was very six-seven.)
Lindstein they have paired a couple times with 5'10" Wisconsin undraftee Anthony Kehrer who has looked ok, Buchinger and Skinner were together this weekend, though the Lindstein-Skinner pairing is their best one,
Rosen can move the puck, but both he and Schueneman are just guys
Lindstein and Skinner sounds sweet. Skinner is mean and pretty good. A good compliment for the Petro-esque Lindstein, it appears.

Instead, let’s trade for a borderline minor leaguer and block prospects from playing here. It’s so Army
Army and Bluesfan still believe this team is a playoff team, If they are a playoff team they can't keep playing basically 4 D a night with Tucker and Kessel/Mailloux playing under 10min a game.
Mailloux just isn't good for whatever reason and if the Blues are throwing in the towel then yeah play him and see what he's got, but this Rosen trade smells like Army wanting a #5 Dman to play minutes believing this D is just overworked instead of being overrated and just not good.

It feels like touching a third rail to say it.
but yeah, I am getting Petro-lite vibes left and right with what just unfolded over three straight games this weekend. There are those observers who could appreciate Petro being the best player in a game where he didn't make the scoresheet. Not only was that possible, we saw it numerous times. There were just all these little moments he used to snuff out before they started, little plays in tight with the puck to out battle a forward for possession of the puck and quickly and cleanly exit the zone.
I'm trying to say, I know what made me feel warm and safe with Petro defending. So when I see Lindstein step up with nobody behind him and it's consistently the right choice at the times he chooses to do it, and he not only maybe makes a defensive interruption but even holds the line or keeps offense going, it's verrrrry Petro-ish. It's defense first but he's got offensive instincts that we will come to appreciate. He has always been the top defender on the depth chart since he was drafted.
I don't think he's going to have the same career Petro had but he is the closest defender we have to that mold

Yeah just the comfort when Pronger or Petro were on the ice. It’s lovely and I miss it

He makes a good pairing with Skinner because Skinner uses his skating to jump up the way Broberg does. I wish Lindstein and Broberg could be a pair with their styles but they are both natural lefties. I've watched a ton of Lindstein shifts now from SHL to NA. He will occasionally be over on the right side. I have seen glimpses, but not enough to be certain it could be a home for him.
Lindstein was actually out there on a PP unit with Stenberg and Pekarcik, it was the second unit behind the Alexandrov Luff Peca unit. He was holding the line against professional PK pressure and he and Pekarcik played skilled catch with the puck. Anyone else who was watching this weekend's games saw him demonstrate that, it was eye catching. Konawalchuk trusts him. He is not a giant but he's 6'1 and will fill in some more muscle as he ages, so he's average size for an NHL defenseman. Again, it's his ability to skate powerfully and fluidly in all points of direction that makes him seem so stable. He's smart so he understands the offensive play unfolding against him and he can get himself into position with efficient skating.
The knock on Lindstein (and from my observations this resonated when he was in SHL) is that he's not as offensively assertive. Sure, boring, poised, responsible, but not an attacker, not someone who will pressure a defense who you have to account for as a major factor in the attack. But I am starting to think this kid might have more offensive upside than we think.

Thanks a lot for all that. Hope to see it for myself one day. Hoping Broberg can still elevate, but I’m keeping my expectations/hopes tempered

You're going to see Lindstein this season in some Blues games IMO. If what I am watching keeps up, they will have to call him up. At a minimum to get him a reward and a taste and also to open the door to an opportunity (just a first one).

Yup and if Mails isn’t ready or worse…injuries etc, then you need to look at pairings/options … both. Can’t get caught with your pants down. An injury or 2 back there could really mess things up right now. We don’t have a Suter who could step up.

Mailloux, via Bolduc
