Faulk name heating up?

[wiscrev]

The only reason to not trade faulk is if you believe in your heart that we are cup contenders this season. Not playoffs. Are we making a run for the cup THIS SEASON and do we have any more of a shot other than “anything can happen” if you do not believe whole heartedly then faulk goes to the highest bidder.

There are too many things going wrong this season and he is one of our only bright spots that we can capitalize on.

Hmmmm, 2019? "Always look on the bright side," Monty Python.

It would hilarious in a bad way if the Blues weren’t sellers this year. Even if they make the playoffs, they are gonna get smoked/destroyed.

I hear you my friend. I really do. Miracles happen and we are all better for them. But at some point it would be nice to come on this board and say “we got a decent return at a good time for a player we dont see in our future plans.” That is the difference between top gm’s and the ones afraid to make mistakes.

Vegas is missing Pietrangelo so very badly.

Could you imagine Faulk being traded for a second time, only to be asked to replace Pietrangelo again... At least this time there's no awkward overlap between the two.

Yeah kinda funny actually. They didn’t need a Marner. They need to replace Pietrangelo…which is not possible.

Pietrangelo is such a glue guy. Marner is not

Really? The glue guy?

Yes a glue guy. … and why Vegas put a letter on his chest on day 1 (which almost never happens)….

Day 1? Almost never happens?

Google search in 2 minutes:Golden Knights alternate captain: After signing with Vegas in 2020, he later wore an “A,” but this was in the normal course of establishing himself on a roster over multiple seasons — not an immediate leadership appointment upon joining. -

Great this puts him in a list of toffoli goodrow and Perry in past three years.

Doug Armstrong thinks about hockey legends and sees statues when he thinks about Toffili? A guy getting a letter on a Contending team is super rare after that time. When Vegas pitched their offer…they told him you’re in the leadership group. This is your backend.

Just destroying you. How stupid does one have to be?

Hahahaha

[Jeff Goldblum]

Who's toffili?

I think the concern with trading Faulk is next year not this year. If he was a UFA it would be a no brainer but I think we need to give all these young players at least a decent d next year.

I don't see how you trade Faulk to a team you're competing with for a playoff spot, when you don't have to trade him at all. Next season, sure. Thinking back to 2017 it would not be completely out of character for Army, but right now is too soon.

+1 DawgDad, I find myself agreeing with a lot of your posts. You are a welcome addition to the forum and a breath of fresh air.

I find the trade rumor stuff to always be funny on this board. Parayko has a huge season last year Trade Him! Faulk is having a good year, Trade Him! It's the same old song and dance. The trolls want the team to be bad, so they gravitate towards trying to trade the players that are playing well. They then say the other players are unhappy and want out or we should give them away for peanuts. See the patterns?

The Blues are always open for business. Army has made that clear, the question is whether they are sellers or buyers. The other day during the cast, he didn't sound very confident in this group. But he did make it a point to say Faulk and Broberg were the 2 guys that have been consistent all year.

The other thing to note, Army has already said a trade isn't happening for guys that are going to help 3-4-5 years down the road like draft picks. It has to be someone who can come in and help out now. So unless the package is something that can moved to replace Faulk with a younger player that can help, all you are doing is creating a hole where the team has a big hole in development at RHD. Jiricek looks like he could be that guy, but he's a 3-5 years away from being a mainstay guy.

Trading Faulk while exciting for people who hate watch the Blues, seems like a difficult thing to pull off giving what we would need to come back.

HOF post.

Players?getting traded or leaving one team and getting a letter when they join their no team is NOT that rare.
Off the top of my head without looking it up, I know Backes was given a letter when he joined Boston in 2016.
Scott Srevens was named Captain when he joined the Blues.
Mathew Tkachuk was given a letter when he joined Florida.
Not sure but does Quinn Hughes wear an A with the Wild?
Point is when veteran players who wore an A or a C with their previous team, join a new team, it is not uncommon to be given a letter.....

But what if you likely will still need him next season?

when he was acquired they had a televised press conference where Shayne Corson gave Wayne the "C" when the trade went down.

Yes a glue guy. That’s why Armstrong named him Captain … and Team Canada named him with McDavid and Crosby (first ever for any Blue) … and why Vegas put a letter on his chest on day 1 (which almost never happens)….and why Armstrong puts him up with hockey legends.

Blues fans not knowing this hilarious

I completely get why it's hilarious. It is. You wait and wait and wait and wait and wait until your eyeballs pop out, then a player arrives who literally proves it on the ice and anchors a franchise for a decade to the most conference wins and a Cup, and afterwards the people who waited don't even understand what happened. You and I each see how shameful this is.

[DutchBlue]

Of course it is not so rare.

Also Bleeder is unable to read and posted his made up dribberish. Pietro did not get a letter immediately. Full stop - end of story.

Just happy that on a Tueday morning he is 'laughing' whereas i would have thought he would still be glowing about Canada's glorious bronze medal.

You both see it because you are the same eyes...
