That looks right to me.

That looks right to me.

No. That will never look right without Ryan Reaves listed in there somewhere. At least not to me and not for awhile. I've had awhile to grasp the fact that he's gone and it's taking time.

If Klim Kostin reaches even half of his potential we won't miss Ryan Reaves.

My not liking the lineup has nothing to do with the actual hockey. I trust the front office to make those decisions WAAAY better than me. It just doesn't seem quite right after so many years of Reaves on the fourth line and following his growth as a player. I'll miss that guy no matter what his replacement does.

I believe he's a UFA next year, so he might be back

Sweet. He won't ever be back but I would be pretty happy if he came back as long as it wasn't just for nostalgia purposes. If the team is better overall without him then I'll be happier. In the end, I just want the Blues to compete in the finals and then finally win a cup while I'm able to enjoy it.

We signed his replacement to a 2 year deal, so it's unlikely he'll be back.

so i guess the lines will look something like this to start out?

Schwartz-Schenn-Steen
Tarasenko-Stastny-Sobotka
Barbashev/Jaskin-Fabbri-Berglund
Sanford/Paajarvi-Brodziak-Bennett

Why is Tank on the left side? Did I miss a major article or something?

And Geddy, I'm not saying he has to have played it, but I don't know anything about the guy. How well does he know the sport? How long has he been a fan? Does he know systems, styles and all that? What makes a good player who isn't on the scoresheet or a bad player who is on the scoresheet? Can he tell if a goal is the fault of the goalie, the D, the forwards for not back checking, or a combo, etc etc.

no sorry, wasn't even paying attention to left/right side...was just putting them on the lines that i'm assuming they'll be on based on what we've heard with the C in the middle.

of course there will be shuffling between left and right (but not screwing with tank i hope lol)

32 days until the season opens for the Blues according to the email I got this morning.
