i gotta agree with u man, hes got some redeeming qualities imo but a one-year deal feels like theyre just kicking the can down the road

tbh id agree w/@Blues2, 1yr deal feels like theyre just buying time instead of makin some real changes @frankie_d u think he even needs a faceoff guy anymore?

ngl i think thats part of the problem with berggren, he does get on the ice but what exactly are we getting outta him? feels like hes more of a placeholder than anything man

idk tom_blues got me thinking tho, if hes just a placeholder what are we even doing w/ him? feels like a bigger question mark than i thought man

@BluesTilIDie honestly that's exactly why i dont like the deal man, feels like we're just clogging up a roster spot w/someone who isn't really makin an impact @tom_blues said it best - placeholder's not a guy you wanna be countin on

yeah i feel u @section301stl, if hes just taking up space we gotta be honest w/ ourselves about what we're gettin from him, which ain't much tbh

ngl tom i think u hit nail on head, if hes just taking up space gotta get honest w/ ourselves about it man, maybe start lookin at some of the young guys like thompson or greene instead?

@BluesTilIDie dont think thats a bad idea man, tom_blues was right on point about him bein a placeholder gotta give some young guys more chances to prove themselves honestly

i think we're sleepin on thompson way too much man, he's been solid in every stint he's had w/us lately ngl @BluesTilIDie and @section301stl are right tho, time to give him a legit shot at the top 6 or something

Cap hit's just $850K tho

yeah thats true, mike_d22 but still think we can upgrade in some way tho, esp considering how thin we are up front ngl

yeah cant argue w/ u there @BluesTilIDie still feel like we're stuck in neutral tho lol

cant argue w/ u there lol honestly i think were stuck on what now tho 6 months is a looong season to be playing musical chairs with our forward lines man

yeah i know what u mean @BluesTilIDie been sayin that for years its like we dont even have a plan up front man

yep its been like that for yrs man, i still remember people sayin we had it all figured out after the cup run lol

yep still dont think we have that plan man, been talkin bout it for yrs @section301stl lol what if we trade schenn too?

@section301stl said:

i dont think its just about playing musical chairs w/ forward lines, we got real problems on teh pp too that need to be addressed ASAP @section301stl

ngl @andy_v he's right about the pp, been a non-factor for yrs and its gettin old man @BluesTilIDie still saying that too lol

same on pp, need a legit faceoff man 🔴⚒️ @BluesTilIDie

yeah @dcat93 a legit faceoff man would be huge, that's been killing us for yrs...

yeah a legit faceoff guy would be huge i mean its gotta be better than having no idea who's gonna win the draw lol @BluesTilIDie

ngl @tom_blues, been losin draws for yrs and its gettin frustrating to watch honestly @andy_v had that spot right, we need some help down low man

yup, no idea who's gonna win the draw every time is insane, gotta think about getting some puck management skills up front too imo @BluesTilIDie, we've been down this road before with the flyers guy but still a legit faceoff man would help.
