It would be some sweet irony for Stewart to be on the team that runs St.Louis out of the playoffs in the first round.

That's another tough goal for JA to give up. And directly after Hitch said he didn't think about pulling him, he's outta there.

Potentially their third straight first round exit, gotta think they'll make moves beyond just firing coaches.

Sort of baffling. They seem to have a good mixture of vets and youth, toughness and talent. I'm not sure where I'd point the finger. Glad we're in the East though, the west is brutal.
Blues pull to 2-1 with less than 2 seconds left in the 2nd. There's life there yet.

He's not going to have many options other than trades. The FA market is pretty bare to begin with and players don't want to play in Edmonton even more than they don't want to play in Buffalo. He's going to need to try and find help on the blueline and he's going to have to do it by targeting good quality guys that don't have any type of NMC/NTC in their contract. It can be done, but more than likely he's going to have to part with one of their top forwards.

If he doesn't trade at least one of hit top forwards for a top pairing defensemen the people of Edmonton may strangle him before he finishes the off season.

chiarelli built a Stanley cup team with a good chunk of players acquired through trades and through free agency...if he can work at least some of that magic in Edmonton, three or four years from now, the oilers could be a scary good club

They will be scary good no matter what.

McDavid and RNH is the best center combo potentially in the league

Nurse is a very good prospect.

I'm going to love watching that fat pig Ken Hitchcock get fired YET AGAIN.

Man, looks like the jets may have gotten the better of the 2 1st picks we had if the Isles take care of business tomorrow. Who would have thought. A few days before the playoffs, some thought we may get an extra draft ball, now that pick might become a 20 something pick and the blues' a much higher pick

Roster moves for St. Louis ????

That's my top choice too. I'm glad Stastny decided to NOT come to Buffalo.

don't we automatically get the best of the 2 picks?

Hmm, I'm not sure exactly what the fine print was on the dea;. I hope that is the case though.

Pretty sure we give the Jets the worse pick of Stl and NYI.

Before they picked up Duby I thought Mike Yeo was a dead-man-walking.

Man what a turnaround.

So worse as in closer to 30th?

Can somebody please explain to me how the western conference matchups came about? In the east 1 played 8, 2 played 7, 3-6, and 4-5 just like how the match ups had always been. But in the west 3 played 4, 5 played 8, etc. Why were they matched this way?

Division winners play the two wildcard spots. The other two teams play the other team left in their division.

Thrice

The Blues thread is priceless.

Some think they were the better team but got jobbed by bad goaltending and missed calls.

Laughable.
