Drury should be fired if he pays more for an injured Tarasenko than he received for Buchnevich...

Rags pass, and Chytil isn;t needed in STL anyway. I doubt Seattle goes for that, but I'd probably do it.

If Panarin is saying, I want to play with Tarasenko, Rangers would probably oblige him. Maybe the package above is a little much, but a healthy and motivated Tarasenko which I would bet he is this year, will put up a point a game with Panarin. Don't think Chytil will ever be that. And yes when Tarasenko does finally get traded, it's going to be for more than a second and Sammy Blais...

Your whole player isn't needed thing that you say on every post is getting kind of old. Good young players are needed on every team and the Blues could definitely use some upgrades at LW...

1- Wah. If it's correct, then I'm not the problem for saying so.

2- Chytil is more a center than a winger (and if you don;t know that, then why are you even talking about him?). We don't need any top 6 centers, let alone super expensive ones to acquire. Good young players are great, but a squad needs balance, not 43 good players at the same position. And again, the Rags are not giving all that up for Vova, so it's superflous in every way.

1. Wrong.
2. Half right. Chytil is more adept at the wing.

Doesn't hurt to have too many centers. Thomas hasn't proven he can be a top 6 center yet either just like Chytil hasn't. They can also both play wing or Schenn can move to wing. Armstrong even said when they traded for ROR that he imagined a line some day with ROR at LW, Thomas at center, and DP at RW. All this being said - lines can be fluid and options never hurt. No team in the league has ever said, we don't need top 6 centers...

1- Yes, it definitely does if you're ignoring actual holes to spend resources on a position already well covered. Obviously. The Blues have other areas that require attention right now, so it does no good to bother with one that does not.

And this entire discussion is pointless because the Rangers are not dealing him over. Period.

2- So you want to hamper Thomas' ability to make the spot his own by bringing in another question mark to take C ice time away? That's some Wile E. Coyote-level super genius right there.

3- I DEFY you to produce a quote where Army says he wants to use Dad on the wing (which would be the dumbest thing ever). Good grief.

4- See #1.

Armstrong said that in a perfect world, the #stlblues could get to Christmas and you could have Robert Thomas centering a line with maybe Tarasenko on the right and O'Reilly on the left. Then you have Bozak with Steen & Perron with Schenn/Schwartz. Wrap your head around those.

Blues flop centers and wingers all the time...Bozak and Thomas frequently swapped last three year...you must watch a different team...

I do not see a quote there. What I see is likely a misunderstanding or misinterpretation of what was said. Regardless, O'Reilly (who has not played one single second on the wing in STL) is not in any, way, shape or form a winger and playing him there would negate everything good about him as a player. And none of that changes the facts that 1) you don't pile up on something you already have covered while other needs exist & 2) the Rangers are not doing that.

It was a direct quote from DA reported by multiple Blues’ writers. You then excuse is just dumb. ROR has played wing plenty of times in his career. Good natural centers play on the same line all the time hence one of them plays wing: Crosby/Malkin; McDavid/Draisaital; Mackinnon/Landeskog; Bozak and Thomas if you want to go closer to home. For you to imply that the Blues are just too deep at center to trade for a center is downright laughable.

I didn't ask for a second hand description. I asked for a quote, a direct quotation of the exact words said attached to the name of the speaker in a journalistic story - or even better, a video of him saying it.

Here's your video. 2:20 mark of the second interview with Blues announcer Chris Kerber straight from Doug Armstrong's mouth himself. (Maybe be a little more humble next time in that you don't know everything.)

Thank you. Was that so hard?

As for the comment, it was dumber than a wet sack of hammers. Not only does he not pick line combos, but playing Dad on the wing would be plumb idiotic. Obviously.

Yup - Doug Armstrong (the guy that constructed an actual NHL Stanley Cup winning roster) is the dumb one and totally not mokumboi (the guy on Capfriendly who thinks he knows everything)…

Again, O'Reilly has not played one second on the wing for the Blues, nor should he ever. And I'd imagine his "perfect world" results in said Stanley Cup, which was won with O'Reilly winning the Conn Smythe as a full-time center. Sooooooo, in this particular, specific case, yeah. Demonstrably. The guy is not infallible, he makes mistakes and says dumb things like any other human.

But again, congrats on putting one over on me with the obviously dumb quote. I can admit when I was wrong, so soak it in.
