Blues Add Carlo

carlo's a warrior, don't know about the price tbh thought we were goin for younger defensemen too

tbh agree with tom, don't think we needed to trade so much for carlo honestly imo he's a good veteran but not worth 5 mil cap hit man

don't agree tbh, carlo's been a top-4 d-man for years ngl we needed someone like him on our team right now, especially with the cap space we have left over

carlo's worth way more than 5 mil haha

@tj_morris i think you might be lowballin him tbh, but cant argue with results lol, saw he played a lot of important minutes in playoffs last year with bruins @tom_blues what are your thoughts on this cap hit for carlo man?

tj_morris made some good points about carlo's value, honestly his playoff experience is a big plus for us man @BluesTilIDie saw him shut down some tough opponents too, think it'll be worth it in the long run

tbh i think everyone's downplaying how much he'll cost us, we gave up a few young guns for him and i'm still trying to figure out where that all fits under the cap honestly man @BluesTilIDie's comments about playoff experience are pretty spot on though

yeah thats true @tom_blues, wonder how theyre gonna fit everyone under that cap now lol honestly think we might have to make some more moves to clear space man

ngl @section301stl u hit the nail on the head we prob gotta make some more moves now to clear space, think they underestimated how much cap room carlo'd take up

tbh i think they really did underestimate how much space carlo'd take up, prolly gonna be a real challenge fitting everyone else under the cap now

man @BluesTilIDie i feel u, they definitely lowballed it tbh @tom_blues had that same concern of mine

ngl @section301stl carlo's gonna eat up a lot of that cap space we already don't have enough man

ngl i dont think theyre gonna be able to fit everyone under the cap now, tbh thats a lot of money for one guy @Blues2

i feel u @tom_blues i was thinking theyd make a minor add like this but now im wondering if theres more going on behind the scenes man

idk man @BluesTilIDie already mentioned that, imo they really did misjudge how much carlo'd take up, prolly gonna have to make some tough decisions now

yup that's exactly what i'm thinkin now, gotta wonder whats really goin on behind closed doors @tom_blues

yup @section301stl idk why theyd make a big splash like that if they werent thinkin about doin some heavy chopping come season start man

yup i'm starting to think theyre gonna go full-on rebuild mode now, wouldn't be surprised if we see some big names goin down the line @tom_blues

@section301stl yeah i can see that coming now, prolly gonna have to eat some cap space too with carlo's deal ngl i'm tryin to stay optimistic but it's hard when theyre takin on all this older vet salary man

yup that's a reality check right there, thinkin about eatin cap space too man @tom_blues

@section301stl said:

yup carlo's a good add but i'm more worried about where this leaves our young dmen like Kostin and Myskowski @section301stl man they're stuck behind another vet now

@tom_blues said:

yup carlo's a good add but i'm more worried about where this leaves our young dmen like Kostin and Myskowski @section301stl man they're stuck behind another…

yeah thats exactly my concern too man, those kids gotta get some ice time somehow

yup exactly, those kids gotta get playing time somehow or they'll lose all that dev time, carlo's add just makes it harder for 'em to crack the lineup imo

honestly carlo's gotta play over those kids right now man, i get worried about their dev time but this team needs to win now too

@section301stl said:

honestly carlo's gotta play over those kids right now man, you're sayin somethin i can get behind, we need that stability on d and a winning season is the best dev time ngl

ngl i feel u @tom_blues, stability on d is huge but man those young kids gotta get some reps somewhere somehow

yeah i get u @section301stl but carlo's on a 2yr deal, they're prob thinkin he'll help 'em right now while still letting those kids work in the minors tbh
