Re: Jordan Kyrou
I'll stand firm that Kyrou stays, improves in all the necessary areas and that he and Holloway each hit 40 goals in the 25-26 season.
Wishful thinking? Maybe, and maybe bleedr actually leaves the board. I think my statement is more likely than that happening.

It's a culture thing. You simply can't have one of your highest paid players decide when he wants to play. He proved that he can't get through one round. You need four. With a lot of young players coming into the fold, you simply can't have that guy in your room.
He plays when he wants. If you demote him down the lineup, he pouts.
Frankly, I'm surprised no one has gone Bortuzzo on him in practice.
But let's forget that.
But let’s forget that.
The playoffs will always have freight trains. Some can still play well, even though the threat is always there.
Is that heart of his the one that scores goals and assists? That makes his legs move fast?
I don't do much running around here pumping him up seems I just spend time responding to all the criticism he takes around here about his play and character.....and it's clear as day to anyone watching he's making effort and strides to improve is full ice play.
I'm happy to stand behind him moving forward. His progress will continue.
Funny that a Blues fan with such admirable passion for the team can …overlook the gigantic faults in a player who got the Chief fired because of lazy and thoughtless play, and who let his team down in such a shameful way
I never think of either of the above acts as “Bleeding Blue”.
The Stanley Cup Playoffs ARE a freight trains. That is why it is the hardest trophy to win I’m ALL sports.
A Champion doesn’t let one bad hit …. Make him quit giving 100%.
Of course he did.
The thousands who booed Kyrou at the Enterprise Center the first game after Chief was canned understood the equation.
Kyrou had been making early Brett Hull look like a Selke winner for a long time, but the straw that broke the camel’s back was this- they had been using Kyrou on the point on the PP and he could not keep a puck in. If keeping it in meant taking a hit, he let the other player walk away with it for a breakaway. Chief couldnt take it anymore and called his wimpy (donkey) out for it after a game where it cost the team a “W”. Kyrou was too much of a Prima Donna to accept this valid criticism and Thomas backed him up. That was 128 million dollars of boys who had never won a (buzz) thing against a Cup-Winning Coach who was, regrettably, easier to let go.
It was one of the darkest moments in the history of the franchise in my opinion.
My question would be, who thought it was a good idea to put him on the point in the first place? He should have been in the slot or at least half boards for the O and do you really want a (at the time) defensive liability as your last line of defense?
Darkest moment? Quite the hyperbole there, it doesn’t even crack the top 20
And his play has dramatically improved since that "incident".
We'll see who's right and wrong on JK going forward. Whether some people will admit to it or not remains in doubt.
When I saw how shallow all that progress turned out to be after one really hard hit, it was as if the old Kyrou never left.
No GM will give up anything decent for him, it appears.
Your bias is over the top and totally clouding your assessment with a bunch of unproven claims. It's hard to read your harping over and over and not countering it. And pretending this one guy ruined your dream of round 2 is just ridiculous.
You want him gone. Get that. Enough already. And if he turns into where I think he's STILL going you will be wrong for your position because this isn't some matter of fact that you claim.
You're a good fan Harry but your wrong slandering the guy the way you have.
I'm done, at least for now.
If the Blues move him, I hope it's a great value coming in, I will support that if it is for sake of the team.

In 48 hrs we will be talking about shipping Buch out and Kyrou is here for the long haul

At least he was down the ice and in position to do the “tap in” if you recall we stripped the d so it went the other way rather quickly.
22 other guys on the team couldn’t score at all, so it is something.
