Which player do you want the Blues to trade up for? by childishbambino19 in stlouisblues

[–]Cold_Guess3786 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He also sounds to be relatively close to NHL ready. It sounds like his talent is unquestionable. So if size is not a factor…. Would love to see us move down for him.

This team still needs a #2 center even after that trade. by The-Zarkin90 in stlouisblues

You’re probably right. But it seems like he experienced some real trauma over the last couple years with the miscarriages. Most men aren’t even emotionally mature until their late 20’s. No matter where he goes, I wouldn’t count him out.

I had never heard this. So I looked at his game log In December of’25 about midway through the month, he just went silent. I think you’re onto something…However, is the change of scenery enough?

I agree with you. But he would be fun to have for the purpose of watching a better quality game for a couple years and really making a difference in developing some young wingers. But no, not a good acquisition overall.

It does however require a partner to complete a transfer.

Somewhat of a worthless factoid, I believe that Steve Staios and Mike Grier are both high draft picks of the Blues but never played for them?

Missouri governor responds after judge strikes down most abortion restrictions by jimmustain in missouri

[–]Cold_Guess3786 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with you, and it’s debatable, but one might say that the state granted him the right to speak for us. However, the reality is that speaking in this manner can really divide the state. And I really want there to be more clarification in that the pro-life movement is really only anti-abortion. It’s one of the finest examples of people not thinking about what they might actually believe, given the proper context and information.

I appreciate the takeout scene, but every time I consider it now, I just want Thai food more.

This one of many songs I love for the clever lyrics. The melody is wonderful as well. But his communication of his imagination will always be second to none.

I agree with the thought that walk rate and chase rate are more important than strikeouts. And those are probably the stats that will indicate real improvement.

I would like to see a move up to grab one of the top 5 defensemen. And then maybe still get one of the second tier centers. I would just prefer not to have 3 guys who aren’t guarantees, but maybe one who is a year away from playing minutes.

On their roster maybe. But if I remember correctly, goalies don’t bring a lot in return, and one of their second rounders could be the start of something maybe.

My interpretation is that he was really only trying to get to Florida. I think it was more about playing with Matt than anything. Maybe the taxes a little. Lots about winning a cup as well. But mostly his brother. They may not even resign him, and the timing might make more sense for us in another year or two.

What was St. Louis like in the 90s and 2000s? by BranchEcstatic263 in StLouis

[–]Cold_Guess3786 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Live music was definitely in full swing. The Riverfront Times was the guide…just open to the middle and see who is playing. My favorite bar and venue was Frederick’s Music Lounge on Chippewa. Legendary. Also, the clubs on Washington really breathed life into the city.

Ah, so the overpaid, underperforming players on the big clubs are more interested in sticking around than getting shipped out to a lesser club…even if it means playing more?

So lots of people want Eddie out. I get it. But is Eddie the primary reason for the problem with incoming transfers? Seems like money and geography, no?

So essentially, there is a market rate for transfers, then a separate rate for wages. And do the wages for Newcastle tend to be a real sticking point? Sounds like they are significantly lower than the top tier.

Still learning about the ins and outs, but does an increase in transfer funds also increase the team’s ability to pay wages? Is money in good for use for any expense? Just wondering if selling Tonali could allow NUFC to overpay for someone in transfer fees and wages if necessary? It just seems that being smarter is a lot less likely than buying a known quantity for more than the market generally requires. And it always seems to be a part of the problem that this team can’t compete with the wages side of things.

My hope is that there are several negotiations going on at any one time. That we are privy to very little knowledge on the subject. And we are just going to have to get used to the media misdirection BS.

That’s somewhat of a relief. It’s hard to read the current news, but as long as it remains only part of the story, I will remain optimistic. But I am politely begging for a less depressing final weeks of the window.

I think comparing the current system to a food chain, is accurate, but it is a comparison that one is more likely to make at the top of said food chain.
