Lines 2010-2011

Three rookies on defense?

Let’s roll these lines for a couple of seasons and stockpile us some #1 draft picks!!!

No Brewer? Where is our return on that trade?

Blues won’t put 2 RH and 2 LH shots on one pairing, especially when 3 of the 4 woudl be rookies.

King is your #13 with Sonne in Peoia. Blues need to get some type of return if you are cutting out Brewer. As in a top 6 or top 9 winger.

I’m assuming we traded Eric Brewer for that “young goalie that Conklin can back up.”

And maybe threw in a first rounder or something. I’m sure that’d get us someone.

But, honestly, he’s a better option then Cole at this point. Junland and Stratchan are both solid options, and I’d like to give Jonas a serious shot next year, but I think Brewer IS a solid guy to have around, and wouldn’t get that big of a score of a trade anyway.

As for our forwards, I think what you’ve got down is basically what we’re going to use. Eller will get top 3 line minutes, and Steen has locked himself up in that role as well. I could see us trying to work an upgrade over McClement and keeping him on a pure defensive minded line however. If Tkachuk does retire, I could see adding another Top 9 forward to be our 2nd objective outside of signing a goalie if we don’t bring Mase back.
