RE: Free Agents

I’d like to see the Blues acquire Ruuttu if they could.

For one, I’ve always liked him.

For two, he can still find the back of the net without a map.

For three, having a veteran Finn on the roster (assuming the Blues re-sign him) could help entice Jori Lehtera, Jani Hakanpaa and Teemu Eronen to cross the pond next season. Even if all three of the new guys end up in Peoria (as is likely), there’s still a point of contact in The STL for them, one with a good deal of experience on both sides of the Atlantic.

Plus, Doug Armstrong’s record in Dallas seems to indicate that he has a good rapport with Finns, and an understanding of the Finnish game and how it translates to North America.

I have a hard time seeing Lehtera coming over...

If he doesn’t have a strong assurance he stays in St. Louis. Dude was about a point per game producer in the KHL, I can’t see him willingly turning down a big money contract extension to come play in Peoria.

Is willing to go to the mattresses with the lot of yous.

Who says he's going to get a ''big money contract extension?''

He and his broken leg may be damaged goods to the KHL and their medical staffs that often rise just about to the level of quackery. The Blues can fix him if he’s broken.

Dan O'Neill piece on Backes

To his credit, I hadn’t noticed who wrote this until I hit this line:
“Backes has been a veritable Flying Wallenda of balance.”
Good Lord.

From Dan O'Neil's Backes article...
Last summer there was angst over who should replace Eric Brewer as the Blues’ captain.

Was there really? I pretty sure every single fan already recognized Backes as the captain. Any other suggestions were just there for purposes of debate.

I once shot a man just to see him die...then I got distracted and missed it.

I don't even have to read the USA today article

It clearly consists of “The central division is REALLY good” thanks for the breaking news USA today

Am I allowed to posit a differing opinion...

…or will my doing so get me whacked on the pee-pee for “politicking?”

What's there to to opine?

The gubmint steps in and shuts these sites down every couple months. They simply shift domains, change names and start up again. Nothing political about it, simple supply and demand. What’s there to politic? Why do you have to go down that road again? Give it a rest.

So it's OK for someone to claim the government sucks...

…but I can’t say that the government does not suck.

I see. Thanks for the clarification.

I guess it’s only bad if I make the first mention of anything political.
