St. Louis Blues 2010 Regular Season Thread

[thrill]

Stewart scored 28 in his first full season last year and Shattenkirk is a more efficient offensive defenseman than EJ right now. EJ still has the highest upside, but whether he'll hit it remains to be seen. This isn't as crazy as first glance. I kind of like it.

A top 6 forward and a top 4 forward (both very young) for a top 4 forward and a grindy guy.

EJ makes his return to St. Louis on Tuesday, no?

Wow...super risky trade. I don't blame the blues for trying though. Even if ej turns into pronger I.don't think they have the time to let him develop. My great is this trade will light a fire under ej's ass and cause him to fill his potential.

Also if this doesn't prove that management sees the same thing fans du regarding on I've performance I don't know what does.

The Blues are giving up a future 1st and Colorado is giving up a future 2nd.

EDIT: Condition for the 1st rounder. If the Blues pick is in the top 10, it's protected this year and we give them the 2012 1st. That should be a good deal. I don't think they'd be top 10 again in 2012, but I also thought this year would be better. Good trade though. Stewart might be our best forward, at the worst, 2nd best behind Backes.

Oh man, I woke up vaguely remembering something about this, thought it was a just a drunken hallucination. I hate the chance that EJ turns into Pronger, but Pietro has filled his role as a top 2 defensemen, add Shattenkirk and Nikitin and we're still strong back there. Stewart, if this hand thing hasn't [expletive] him immediately goes to our top line and adds another Backes. The fact that both fan bases are skeptical of the trade makes me feel better.

What are the chances that Stewart turns into a top flight power forward in the league...along the lines of a Tkachuk? If he and EJ both pan out, who comes out ahead?

If Stewart turns into Walt and EJ turns into Pronger, Colorado wins. If the same happens, and Shattenkirk is a top 3 Dman with a scoring touch, then both teams win.

Chris Stewart will play with David Backes and Andy McDonald...Shattenkirk to play with Colaiacovo #Bles #Avs

Holy [expletive] what's happening?

The Blues just got one of the best young forwards in the game, IMO. I love Stewart.
