Not gonna lie, I'm kinda shocked at how well Blues prospects are doing at the WJC. I thought they'd fare pretty well overall, but they're killing it. Trying to think of any Blues WJC class that comes close. Best I can come up with is Petro, Snake Allen and Tarasenko all going ape in 2010. And Lindstein just might match Petro's best D award. Crazy.


Crazy....All played well. Gold to St Louis

Gold: STL: Snuggerud, Dvorsky, Lindstein, Stenberg, Stancl, Kaskimaki, Pekarcik
Silver: BUF: Ostlund, Kulich, Strbak, Wahlberg, Savoie

I love that Walhberg kid. Would love to finagle him somehow.

Dobson shoulda been picked. He has been good, better than Barzal for sure. Eating big minutes and racking up them points.

They are looking stacked; more likely to retool on the fly if they can have a decent defense in 2-3 years.

They need to get Parayko a real partner. Mission #1.

Is Perunovich the answer or will Buchinger surpass him soon?

Neither is the right type of player to partner Parayko. And Buchinger is more of a B prospect, though he is climbing. They keep trying to put a mobile guy with Parayko, but HE IS the mobile guy. He's not a bad cop, he's a smooth criminal who can barely be stopped when he moves the puck in transition. They seem to have figured this out finally.

Lindstein is the Blues top prospect in the D, but it remains to be seen if he'll be top 4 or top pairing level. They really need to grab another A prospect at LD in the 24 draft. And they definitely need to shed Krug or Leddy, and go get the most J-Bo type they can get. Like Forsling.

Morgan frost should demand a trade from PHI

The fact he gets HS over Laughton who has been statistically worse and playing worse this season makes 0 sense

This is really not good for TBL they need to hope he rebounds either in the second half of this season or next season. Otherwise that deal gonna get ugly fast

Does anyone want to watch them in 3v3 event?


It’s to « make up » for all the 20 game suspensions Wilson gets?
