not much man, just chillin, spending time on the twitters, working and studying for GREs this summer.

Sure every team passed on his 12 times, but it’s the Royals who get the most crap for passing on a kid in their backyard.

Oh, but you forget… he’s not wearing the ’Note right now, so the Blues are forever tainted with irredeemable draft failure.

And how do you know — I mean really know — how much the Blues “looked at him?”

Just because they didn’t draft him doesn’t mean they weren’t interested in doing so. Maybe they expected him to fall to the next round because of some correctable flaw, a skating deficiency or something.

For as good as Stastny has proven to be, he’s still not a point-per-game player in the NHL. One would expect that to be the minimum standard for assertation of legendary, “should-not-have-passed-on-him” status, would one not?

I’d love to see Paul Stastny in the ‘Note as much as anyone, but the world won’t stop turning if it never happens, nor will the Blues be doomed to eternal mediocrity if Stastny never ends up here. If he grew up in St. Petersburg instead of St. Louis, no one here would give two hoots in Hell beyond the natural interest in a decent player.
