I moved to Charlotte so I saw Game3 the other day and I can tell you first hand Hofer is gonna be lethal. He plays the puck really well and made some massive saves. I think he got an assist too. Kostin looks good too, like a step ahead of everyone else. Alexandrov is pretty quick out there, but probably needs to fill out more. Kessel is pretty good too and Brady Lyle is sick on the PP. most excited about Hofer tho and Neighbours. Bolduc should play for Springfield next year then join the team in 2023-24 along with Hofer hopefully.

Hopefully Kostin is a hit becuase he’s shown promise a lot but jsut can’t make the jump to the nhl. I have a feeling we may trade him as an add on for a dman but we’ll see

I think so too. Idk what the Blues will do this off-season. I think Neighbours jumps up, which means you gotta move out 1/9, which seems to look like Barbashev. Idk what a package of Barbashev, Kostin, and Mikkola looks like for a return. Maybe acquire someone younger, 25-under would be my goal.

Agreed but losing Barbashev will suck

I’ve been thinking of ways to replace him and honestly it seems we are losing Tarasenko too. I’d even do a trade of Barbashev for Comtois since he fits the Blues style of game. Maybe use Tarasenko to acquire a young LD like Provorov from Philly. That’s my best guess.

I don’t think so on Vladi. Early reports hinting at him staying. Would love to see an extension but based on 32 thoughts ROR might be the priority.

I think ROR should be the priority over Tarasenko, but Thomas and Kyrou should be even more important than both of the

I’m thinking Kyrou and Thomas sign $6.75M for 6 years like how Johnny Gaudreau did with Calgary. Then ROR signs for 4 years around $5.5M. Tarasenko walks most likely.

I hope we can trade Tarasenko instead of just letting him walk, but we will see what happens. I trust whatever Army does

Yeah I want Tarasenko for Provorov or some 25-under LD that has size. Krug and Scotty P are on the smaller side so having a bigger guy on the backend would be sweet
