I am eager to hear Alex Steen’s first official comment on Kyrou’s situation. I don’t think I kane heard anything yet.
We don’t have a player in the organization more different in attitude.
You’ll be waiting a while. Whether Steen loves him or hates him, he’s not going to paint himself into a corner by making that view public.
and that is. the horrific situation Kyrou has put this Organization into.
They are stuck with a third line winger with no compete who is without admitting the failure he has become.
And taking the loss that entails.
Kyrou did that?!!?!?
Which Blues player has scored 149 goals past five season? That's horrific? Who else is close?
I'm fine with moving him for the right return, but blaming him unilaterally for a contract he and management agreed to and whatever that italics means is irrational.
That's Harry.
If you read what's said about all this apparently we will all find out what JK's value is when he is traded and the market speaks this summer.

Based on production since he got his clock cleaned a year and half ago, I don't think $8.125 mil x 4 is viewed as reasonable.
It's more than Pavel Buchnevich. Dylan Holloway at $7.75 mil x 4 is a reasonable deal.
If the Blues get lowballed on offers for Kyrou they can always wait until the next trade deadline.
Kyrou was streaky every year of his career. The other years though he was their best winger offensively and there wasn't a better RW option to score so the Blues did everything they could to get him going. Now they have Snuggy and Holloway taking some of those opportunities away and the team isn't forced into moving Kyrou everywhere to get him scoring.
They also didn't have a legit 2C to elevate Kyrou's game and lack the enforcer type player to protect a player like Kyrou. Especially after the trade deadline he couldn't have looked more disengaged. I know he had a knee issue but if it was something bad he wouldn't have played after they were eliminated. He will have value for some teams. Analytically his play is good, his two way play has improved, they need to have a strong 2 way centre for him to play with and he needs to go to a team that has players that can stand up to the Logan Stanleys.
I completely agree. Kyrou needs protection and the Blues don't have any players who fit that bill.
This upcoming draft has multiple players who could fill that role. But would it be in time to help Kyrou? Not sure. I hope the Blues use their bounty of draft picks on players in the mold of what they want this team to be in 2-3 years. They could pivot in any direction they wish. Exciting times!
I think they have been drafting the type of players that play a 200 ft game and play with some passion. Jake, Snuggy, Stenberg, Dvorsky, Lindstein, Carbo, Jiricek. 2023 draft almost every player drafted had the descriptive’s 200 foot players and passion or intensity. It seemed to be a commitment to a plan. Add in Burns, Pekarcik, Ralph, Fisher and follow that same path. I don’t see them drafting any more projects that they need to convince to play 2 way hockey in the early rounds.

Kyrou is going nowhere. He is attached by an umbilical cord to Armstrong. The franchise will fold before Armstrong allows his son to be traded. In his eyes, he’s a cross between Brett Hull and Maurice Richard.
Armstrong has tried to trade Kyrou numerous times previously. This is an uneducated statement or you just don’t pay attention
No he hasn’t. The asking price has been so absurd, it’s clear he wasn’t on the market. Monty will be fired long before Kyrou is traded.
Blues had a deal to send him to the Islanders for Dobson but Dobson preferred Montreal and could control it by the fact he needed an extension.
The Blues then almost traded Kyrou to Montreal but instead traded Bolduc because couldn’t agree on match for Kyrou.
Pay attention
It’s always something keeping Kyrou from being dealt, isn’t it?
