Interesting first line. Hopefully, Stewart starts getting more ice-time consistently, he's been their best forward this year.
and Allen is starting ..... **** me Halak is really annoying to own.
Jeremy Rutherford @jprutherford
Confirmation from Hitch that Allen will start tonight. Hitch says #stlblues will wait to see how Steen feels before deciding if he plays.

I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.
Allen likely starting again

Jake Allen first off the ice. Looks like he's getting the call again. #stlblues

Tell me about Chris Stewart and what he could fetch in a trade
Chris Stewart is as inconsistent as they come... for about 80% of the year he will be invisisble and have absolutely no positive impact on the game, in any shape or form - the other 20% he will be a complete difference maker. When he is "on" he uses his size and is physically dominant, he uses his speed to drive to the net and he is relentless on the boards and the puck... He has a very low hockey IQ and doesn't seem to understand where he should be on the ice - not sure if this is a result of him picking up the game so late in his life or not... Most importantly is that in the past two playoffs, he has been invisible every game. I think he will be traded this off-season in some kind of package to bring in a bigger impact player. He is a RFA, so that clouds his value a little but I think he will be the one the Blues would like to inlcude in any package they put together. Halak, Perron, Bergeron (and maybe Shattenkirk if they can get a lesser valued PMD back in this or any other deal). I think the Blues would deal Stewart on his own if they could get a PMD in return, otherwise he will need to be part of a package for a reliable goal scorer.
just read this...cant recall what his spot was on teh depth chart, but what does this do for guys like Oshie, Tara, Schwatrz, Bergie?-truehockey.com
Longtime NHL forward Andy McDonald is calling it quits citing ongoing post-concussion concerns as the reason.
The 35 year-old Stanley Cup winner enjoyed a solid career that included close to 700 regular season games and nearly 500 points, but a much smaller number is ending his career.
McDonald had five documented concussions over the course of an 11-year NHL career, including two with the St. Louis Blues. The threat of another head injury not only ending his career but also the potential long-term effects began consuming the former All-Star.
“The last few years too much of the focus became worrying about the next hit. I was always thinking about it.” Said McDonald.

What are the chances that Jaden Schwartz is a full time top 6 forward on the Blues next season? I think this off-season will be the last time to acquire him for a reasonable price in my 30 team dynasty league but I am wondering what a fair offer for him would be.
My team:
C: P Bergeron, Carter, Hanzal, Desjardins
LW: Couture, Grabner, Burmistrov, Mueller
RW: Williams, Hemsky, Dorsett, Kaleta, McDonald
D: Burns, Brodin, Boychuk, Leddy, N Schultz, Stoner, Braun, Tanev
G: Niemi, Bobrovsky
Stats: G, A, +/-, Hits, Takeaways, Blocked Shots, PP TOI/G, SH TOI/G, W, GAA, SV%, SO; 4 lines and 6 dmen and 1 goalie with weekly lineups (back up goalies must play at least 15% of the weeks)
Jaden Schwartz was on the top line for the final part of the regular season and all through the playoffs. He was one of the most dangerous forwards throughout that time, despite his lack of production. I don't see any way that he isn't on a top line and PP next year. MacDonald leaving helps, but Schwartz would have gotten his time no matter what.
Do you think Jaskin will be good enough to bump Schwartz off that line? Or will he take another spot in the line-up?
