    Your "article" (in quotes because half of it is twitter comments), doesn't give evidence that they will be a better team after losing such a solid player in Sobotka. It just says that they might still be okay despite that.

    Agreed.

    My favourite part was "Ott truly does play the Blues style of hockey..." follow by "If he can... fix his back checking/defensive zone coverage"

    Losing Sobotka hurts big time and Ott is not a replacement by any means.

    I'm not sure the Blues are better off for losing Sobotka, even though they signed Stastny and re-signed Ott.

    He was just so feisty and amazingly suffocating to the opponents better lines even though he was physically small

    It doesn't look like this guy ever responds to these posts anyways. Might as well be a robot.

    STL should be a better team than they were a year ago, but losing Sobotka hurts... A LITTLE. He was one of my favorite players, but he was a third liner and some of the comments in his an Ott's threads make it sound like the Blues lost Backes.
