That's about all you can expect right now. Without their 3 best forwards this team is really about a .500 team.slide_into_first wrote:3 points in 6 games ain't gonna help

The Blues go 0-for-2 on the waiver process as the Sharks claim Wellwood.

the plus side to this [expletive] play is that all of a sudden family members have tickets to games they can't make it to, so they give them to me

Re: St. Louis Blues 2010 Regular Season Thread
The waiver system in the NHL is an absolute broken process. I understand the point of it; it wouldn't be right for a team to reach a gentleman's agreement with some player to stash him overseas, then bring him in to the U.S. for the playoffs...
but at the same time, the Blues have been the ones doing the legwork to get these guys signed, only to have them picked off. It'd make more sense for us to give a crappy draft pick to a team so they can sign him and we can pluck him off of waivers.
I guess we'll have to make an actual trade, but I doubt it happens.

WTF is up with the NHL waiver process?? You sign a player so that someone else can land him? What is the point of that?

Re: St. Louis Blues 2010 Regular Season Thread
It only applies if a player leaves from another league to go play in the NHL. If Wellwood never played in the KHL, anyone could've scooped him up at any time without waivers.lukethedrifter wrote:WTF is up with the NHL waiver process??

What they're trying to do is prevent the KHL or other similar leagues from becoming feeder stations for the NHL. Otherwise, in theory the Red Wings or someone could work out a gentleman's agreement with Jaromir Jagr where they effectively pay him to play in Russia, then bring him up to the playoffs when they need him most.
It's a good idea in theory, but the actual application needs a ton of work.
