    That contract would make him the joint 4th highest paid RW in the league (tied with Tarasenko) - I just don't buy that for a guy who's never hit 30 goals or 64 points in a season...

    I think he was over a point per game last season and is a stud two way player. It's okay to overpay for top talent.

    Love it man. You’d probably have to throw in that ARZ 2nd and swap Jaskin with Blais though. Hell maybe just take ARZs side and put that in for Jaskin. I do like Crouse though.

    I think he’d mesh with them better than Tarasenko did for sure and that was arguably the best line in the league early in the year. What a nightmare for defenses trying to make exit passes out of their zone.

    Turnover after turnover. I really can't wait to see Schwartz and Schenn with a right handed winger. It doesn't matter if it's Kyrou, Perron, or Stone, they're gonna tear sh*t up.

    I see what you did there with Stone. Joint highest paid RW...

    Maybe the first time in history a Blues and a Blackhawks fan liked the same thing, hey?!

    We are barely a rivalry anymore. The rivalry is dead without Backes, Reaves, Ott, Shaw and the decline of Seabrook/Keith/Toews.

    Agreed but a very small sample size due to injury/only so many games (like 50 or 60 maybe) and first time he's done that... It's a risk is my point with that kind of money

    Which like you said, Tarasenko did fine. I know a lot of people are acting like it didn't work out because of something Schenn supposedly said, but when you looked at those 3 out on the ice together, they dominated. Schenn should be thanking Tarasenko for helping set new career highs
