I don't think we should try for Shattenkirk, we need a LHD D and he will cost a lot money wise.

He doesn't want to move him however, if the Blues called That may change............................. oh did I say that out loud

oh my

He is a strong slot player with a great shot. He will be murdered in the NHL if we bring him up before he gets bigger

Agreed. Hard to put on the weight during the season too, as we saw with Reinhart.

Unfortunately the Blues will end up letting Shatty go to free agency because they are to stupid to recognize a good deal when they get one. They are holding out for Crosby and a 1st I think

You and I have have talked about him but I think he's to old and I would rather go in another direction.

I feel like if they're good enough you can have 2 RHD together and be fine. Or, have Risto and Shat split up but now neither has to play forever as long as they have competent partners, like we hope Guhle and McCabe will be.

are they trying? Im 50/50 on him, blues are relying on him less this year which i find interesting especially even more given where they are in the standings (although thats gotta be goaltending). D-men are hard to come by, could put risto one one pair and shattenkirk on the other, reduces minutes and lets you roll 2 very good pairings.

I'm sure the Rangers will bite, 1 dummy loves another.

Justin Bailey has 17 goals in 35 games. Had 20 in 70 last year.

Little bit of talk but nothing more, doubt it happens.

He's got good speed. The issue is he's...umm...small


like 5'6 small

Don't have much to lose though right? Very low risk. If he doesn't work, he doesn't work.

BTW, I don't see Nylander as struggling in the AHL. He's 5-12-17 in 36 games with no great centers on that team. As a rookie who was already on the smaller side I think he's doing alright. Definitely needs to fill out, though.

Plus, he's by far the youngest kid in the league

So is Laine, Matthews oh wait they are huge sorry

Didn't someone rock Laine because he was inexperienced and coming through the neutral zone with his head down to receive a pass? And he is 6"4 200+

Aston-Reese was scoring a goal per game at last check, worth looking at.


Kelleher is extreme boom/bust. If he can make it work despite his size you're getting 1st round talent for free.

that sounds like this guy... other than we drafted him.. is he that short?
