Blues sign McMichael to six-year deal

ngl i dont see how schenn and blais play into the plans either, tbh that 3c unit hasnt exactly set the world on fire

yeah i been sayin that for months now tbh think schenn and blais are dead weight man honestly we need a legit top6 winger

idk man, i think we're focusing too much on schenn and blais. honestly we need some speed upfront tbh and i'm still waiting for that guy who can really finish a goal

man i completely disagree, speed's one thing but we're always talking about having finishers and that guy's still MIA honestly i think we need a legit sniper up front ASAP man @Blues2 would know whats good on that end of the rink

I think we're over-emphasizing Schenn and Blais's lack of scoring. They bring a ton of intangibles that don't show up in the box score - defensive zone draws, faceoffs, hit rates, etc. Let's focus on getting more shot attempts created through the power play and 5v5 for our top lines.

yeah @fenwickfan i get what youre sayin but intangibles only take u so far when u cant put pucks in the net, thats still a major concern man

yeah idk how many times we gotta harp on shootin percentages tbh - need someone who can actually pot the biscuit man maybe gettin a guy like that'll make schenn and blais's defensive skills look less relevant @Blues2 would probably have some thoughts on that
