TrueBlueGED Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 Save a whopping 150k of salary cap space Well in that case.....YEA BABY GREAT TRADE!!!! I know you're joking. I just hate the world right now. Quote
Doohicksie Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 St. Louis's Daily Faceoff page looks bizarre. Quote
Rasmus_ Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 I don’t know that anyone has. Berglund and Sobotka make up two thirds of the third line. Thompson pushes for a spot with Jack or Casey. Depth chart looks something like...? Reinhart Eichel Sheary Okposo Mittelstadt Girgensons Pominville Berglund Sobotka Baptiste Larsson Wilson Here's hoping Berglund or Sobotka are elsewhere in less than a years time. Berglund is continually injured, and to be honest, he's not that great. Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 I would add that I know my reaction is wholly irrational. I said leading up to this that I expected to hate the return. That expectation should have made this an emotional nothingburger for me. But nope. EMOTIONS ARE RIDING HIGH BABY! Quote
North Buffalo Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 Perfect losing for Hughes front line.... Quote
Eleven Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 Gotta think this through before evaluating. The Sabres did get three roster players out of it. And a first-round pick. Quote
LGR4GM Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 Sheary, Berglund and ThompsonWhat's Thompson playing? 5th line rw? Quote
Doohicksie Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 By the way, the Sabres now have the forward line of the Blues' 2nd PP unit from last year.... all three of them. Quote
Weave Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 And if we finish in last place again? Or the Blues are great? Does the locker room nonsense go away? Besides, know who else marshaled the team to last place, if we want to frame it that way? Eichel, Reinhart, Risto, et al. Now you get my emotions the last 8 trade deadline days. Nothing quite like the realization that your team is choosing to get a little worse. I don’t know that anyone has. Berglund and Sobotka make up two thirds of the third line. Thompson pushes for a spot with Jack or Casey. Depth chart looks something like...? Reinhart Eichel Sheary Okposo Mittelstadt Girgensons Pominville Berglund Sobotka Baptiste Larsson Wilson That’s not fast... Jason, Jason... While not fast, for the first time in 5 years it looks like an NHL roster. Quote
Taro T Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 Too tired to be pissed. In the morning however ... :censored: Quote
WildCard Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 If we don't flip these 2 firsts for something I'm going to lose it Quote

ubkev Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 Now you get my emotions the last 8 trade deadline days. Nothing quite like the realization that your team is choosing to get a little worse. While not fast, for the first time in 5 years it looks like an NHL roster. That's just the way it goes. If you don't pick in the top 3 every single year until the end of time, you can't truly build a winner....or something Quote
bob_sauve28 Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 I think I'm ok with this. It's a long term thing, we got a lot of young players in return, namely the young center and first rd pick Thompson, the the first and second later on. That is great for the long term health of the organization. Quote
Brawndo Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 Blues Fans on HF Boards are rejoicing, that’s all I need to know.. Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) Gotta think this through before evaluating. The Sabres did get three roster players out of it. And a first-round pick. Not a single prime piece, though. We got volume. And much of it was short-term volume. Awful. Edited July 2, 2018 by TrueBlueGED Quote
Rasmus_ Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 What's Thompson playing? 5th line rw? He's better than an extra forward, but I hear your point. Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 Now you get my emotions the last 8 trade deadline days. Nothing quite like the realization that your team is choosing to get a little worse. While not fast, for the first time in 5 years it looks like an NHL roster. Oh, I always got your emotions, I just disagreed with your assessment of the situation as a whole. Anyway, I don't think we got a little worse with this, I think we got a good deal worse. Quote
LGR4GM Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 Ok. My hope, because it's been a year, is that Thompson worked on his quickness. Maybe he's better. He does have skill but his first 3 steps aren't great. Quote
Darryl Shannon's +/- Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 Blues Fans on HF Boards are rejoicing, that’s all I need to know.. The same way we were when we acquired a younger O'Reilly? In a league where center depth is so important, he's now on his third team. Quote
slugspirit Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 Love the deal. That's 5 legitimate pieces for O'Reilly, and they covered his tab. Awesome. I don't understand the depressing atmosphere here. That's a solid haul. Quote
Eleven Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 Not a single prime piece, though. We got volume. And much of it was short-term volume. Awful. That might be okay. Still thinking it through. Quote
LGR4GM Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 He's better than an extra forward, but I hear your point.He's a right wing, that means someone goes. Pominville or Okposo. Idc which. Guess tage could start in Rochester Quote
Brawndo Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 And there is this The 2019 first round pick St. Louis is sending to Buffalo in the O'Reilly trade is top 10 protected, Blues GM Doug Armstrong Quote
