Who is going to eat crow when the Buium jersey's start showing up in numbers?
The real question is how much crow are you gonna get when the Blues win another cup without drafting in the top 5 like you insist is the only way to get top talent (ignoring your own point that they traded for top 5 picks in Bouwmeester and Schenn and could presumably do so again)?
How much crow are you gonna get when Jiricek jerseys start showing up in numbers?
Or, more likely, how predictable will your deflections be at the time?
Most teams have at least 1 marquis player, 1 player drafted TOP 5, and they have that anchor in that city for years.
Are you saying that the Blues and the city don't ever need that? Are you saying that Army can win Cups without ever having that kind of a player on the team? Don't talk to me about 2019, because they had Pietrangelo on that team.
