Blues Could Be Sellers Sooner Than Expected In 2025-26

1-American Thanksgiving is a good indicator of where yout team is at. For instacne, the percentage of making the playoffs is well south of 50% if your not in the top 9 at that point in the season. Not saying that its a lock but it's a consideration.

2-The Blues do have assets that will be on expiring contracts at the trade deadline. They would not need to be in a rebuild to sell off parts for extra picks. Let's say Sunny is having a solid year but getting outplayed by others and is just an extra piece. If the return is good enough then I would be fine.

Of course all bets are off it the Note is out of the playoffs at that time. I can't see why management would move to many yound pieces for rentals at this point though. I think Srmy sticks with the plan and they continue to build younger and get better for the long haul.

Reading a bit between the lines you're falling into the trap set by the agenda crowd, assuming a dysfunctional assessment triggers sell. What did Army do last season when the team was in an early season funk? He acquired Fowler.

Army and Steen need to do two things now: Keep the prospects playing in a competitive OJT environment in the NHL/AHL or elsewhere, and do right by the capable core veterans who (presumably) have no stomach for tanking. This team is no longer stripping down madly for future talent, they are fine-tuning what should be a playoff competitive team. They have horses and a driver. Lay on the expectations, these are all capable pros expected to produce. No excuses short of IR.

Sorry, I was posting from work yesterday. My typing is terrible when hurried and in the dark, LOL. I guess I was taking the long road just to say that I trust Blues management to assess the team needs and make moves for the long haul. I understand ownerships need to make the playoffs to break even. I also believe that they will make changes only if it builds for the long haul with winning a championship as the goal. They have a plan and they will not deviate from it at this time. When that championship seems attainable is when they push more chips into the middle and go for it. If I was a betting man all I see for the rest of this year is assessing what they have and minor changes. I do believe that the phone lines are always open and good GM's listen to every offer. The only difference is how quick they hang up the phone.

Only sellers because we have too many NHL ready players in the future. We sell what we cant use. This team is set up real nice. Not interested in this article. Silly.
