Hell they'll be in camp before we know it.
This might be the last year before the "new" Blues can take hold.
I do believe they can make a play off spot with a team held back waiting on some prospects to come up.
Going to be an interesting year.

DA making waves in the NHL, with the offer sheets. No doubt he made the team better. Not sure they'll win the Cup, but these are a few solid guys that will improve the team. These guys fill a few holes at reasonable costs. No doubt this team will be a little faster than last year's team. I like the moves...
If you want some good reading, go read the rantings of the Edmonton fans. They are close to storming the Oilers front office with torches and pitchforks.

What he pulled off is nothing short of brilliant.
These 2 players will likely alter this team roster immediately. The risk is imo low and the reward could be quite high.
All in all looking like 7-10 new players for the coming season. Younger, faster, stronger front and back. #2 Center remains the missing link.
And the pipeline has, I think literally, never looked better.
Will miss Chief but I'm very impressed with Bannister and what he did last season to finish up.
Can't wait for all of this to start up!

6 of 10 points/5 games to start not too shabby.
Boys are still gelling with all the new players. I think they have room to get better.
Broberg looks like a steal so far.
Great having hockey back!

Big test tonight the Jets are as hot as it gets and the Blues are not of the same "talent" level.
Will be watching how the boys fare up on this one.

Not sure why, but I watched the Blues on TV 4 of 5 times over their last 6-7 games. It is painful to watch. Early on, this looked like a team that might come together. The games I watched looked like a team falling apart. If I had to put my finger on one or two key issues, it would be defensive zone turnovers and an anemic power play. Of course, the lack of consistency with regard to intensity is probably right up there as well. To lose 8-1 twice in a week is nothing but a team quitting.

The Blues organization is lost. Armstrong MUST go. This is nothing but junk they are putting on the ice. It gets worse every season. Enough already.
