Kryou and Faulk for Powers and Krebs or something!


Powers, CP55
Broberg, Fowler
LEddy, Tucker
Kessel or FA vet
Kyrou+Broberg for Powers
I wouldn't trade Broberg straight up for Powers.
Ah yes…the great Broberg lol

I'd very much prefer we keep Broberg to but thats a little extreme

This is an internet forum! Only in the heads of armchair GMs does this thread "add" anything but entertainment. But while we're at it if posters don't get the player names right they just might get called out - on a point of fact no less.

Kyrou was at least dangerous last night, but I wouldn't mind seeing the Blues trade JK as the team looks set on wing for the foreseeable future. Nothing against JK, but the style of play from our Blues, JK loses the puck far to often along the boards and even while entering the zone. Yes he can score, but I can see him being replaced by Snuggerud, Stenberg and/or DD next year, let alone trading Kyrou would bring back an asset, which to me is an opportunity this team should take. I should mention JK has come a long way, which is also why this could be a good time to trade him.

Kyrou goes from -38 to -12 to +23 for a swing of +61.

Still not enough for some of you.

No, he didn’t, and that’s the problem. Players look like they are playing through injury when they try to play normally, but can’t. Kyrou looked like he was playing through fear. Yeah, that hit he got from Stanley (I think it was Stanley) was a bone crusher, but it did not take him out of the game anywhere except in his own head.
He was clearly injured...his skating was very off...he might have been maybe 60-a70% what he normally is. He wasn't close to being the player he is and that had nothing to do with any fear.
Passing up the opportunity to score multiple times when he has a wide open slot shot has nothing to do with injury and everything to do with being a gutless and weak player
Kyrou led the team last nights in shots on goal

And absolutely went back to his usually lazy lackadaisical self the entire series when the team needed him. He’s a cancer.

Not sure if he was injured or not, but he was charmin level soft along the boards multiple times.

Regular season is one thing. Playoff hockey is another. He’s just not built nor has the mindset for it.

I don’t hate him as much as some do. But I wouldn’t be sad to see him go. He’s very replaceable. And in the playoffs a liability

I only disagree with "very replaceable". Kyrou gets you into the playoffs as a near ppg player. Truly, he gets pushed around, pushed off pucks and losing board battles, and often caught between making a play or playing North. Those traits are amplified in the playoffs. He drew a LOT of ice time. Overall, he didn't cause the Blues to lose that series, he just didn't rise up and win it in the end. Neither did anyone else, for that matter.

He should have been gone after he mouthed off about Berube and then cried
Yep. Looks terrified every time he gets within a couple feet of possible contact.

In the biggest game of the year he had a very crucial goal, +1 played of 26 minutes.....

That’s where I’m at. You can’t perform in the playoffs until you get to the playoffs. Without Kyrou we don’t even get there this year.

I don't get the Kryou hate at all. The guy isn't a superstar but he also came a long way this year with his all around game. Lets just take a deep breath and prepare for the draft.
