We have been blessed with a winning team and a cup. This years team is looking very good.
Dvorsky is set for 40 pts imo. Should be great year.
Id be pretty happy with 15 g 25 assists from Dvorsky at 21 thats a positive growth step. The Blues roster certainly looks like a playoff team, finally two viable top lines two really good centers then Dvorsky maturing into a top 6 center as well.
Once again nothing would surprise me with next years team literally any outcome. If they can stay away from the injury bug there are a ton of positives coming

It will be an interesting year for sure. In addition to how all of the prospects continue to develop, all 3 new acquisitions come from down years. Do you get 2 years ago McMichael and McTavish or last year's versions. There is good reason to believe both are capable of 2 years ago production and possibly more. Carlo had a pretty bad ankle injury last year. If he's fully healthy, Carlo would be a big help on the back end. He's been around seemingly forever but is still only 29.

My guess is McTavish is a 60 pt center (25g 35a) for STL that may be the floor for this guy idk. No matter how fast he skates when he gains the zone he has elite skill level one of the big question marks is how well can the 2nd line wingers finish? Jake was on a tear before the New Year, Buch has kinda struggled to net 20 goals though it could be McMichael in this mix too this could determine how many point McTavish and Dvorsky for that matter can put up
At the very least this edition of the Blues are deeper more experienced, good D, good goaltending there is a lot to like here
