So many people counted this team out. Now, they have a franchise-record 12 game winning streak. The Blues continue to prove bitches wrong. #STLBlues

“Our franchise pays Justin Faulk $6.5 million a year, but we were unwilling to throw up 2% of that to keep a fan-favorite, legendary broadcaster for at least one more season” #STLBlues.
Zimmerman on whether Kelly's departure was a @StLouisBlues decision or a @FanDuelSN_MW decision: "Well, it is a joint decision. Our broadcasters have always been employees of the regional network. The decision is a joint decision." #stlblues.

If it was time for a change, I’m okay moving on. New voices are great. Maybe Kerber is the truth. But give your legendary announcer the send-off he deserves. Not a statement by your CEO praising the “visionaries” at Fanduel. The lack of respect is astounding.

Last thing on John Kelly:. Even if you didn’t like his voice. Or thought he was “declining”. Or think Kerber is the better option. Announcers have always been mostly about legacy & tradition. The way this ended is a terrible look for the Blues organization. #STLBlues.

The greatest broadcast duo of all-time. #STLBlues
I’ve got no “Holy Jumpins” with this decision to remove @Jkellyhockey from the @StLouisBlues and @FanDuelSN_NOR broadcasts. He is an icon. He is a total pro. He treats people with respect , like his Dad did before him. I am very disappointed and sad for the great fans of StL.

One of the many great calls of John Kelly’s career in St. Louis. No script, just pure emotion. Thank you, John. Thank you, thank you, thank you. #STLBlues

So is this the Blues going cheap or the broadcast company? Absolute disgrace to get rid of John Kelly. And a “simulcast” on radio and TV? What a joke. Kerbs and Vitale are great, but to leave JK for the wolves is pathetic. #STLBlues.
Chris Kerber and Joey Vitale will simulcast games on @FanDuelSN_MW and @101espn; John Kelly departs amid strategic realignment and expanded pre and postgame coverage. #stlblues . DETAILS ➡️

Just more nonsense from Frank. Kyrou’s contract is great for a guy you can count on for a consistent 30-70 every year. You only move him for a long-term foundational center or defenseman (which he’d now have to approve). #STLBlues.

Really hope Carbonneau decides to go to BC over playing another year in the Q. The NCAA competition is much better and they seem to have a higher success-rate of developing elite talent. Plus, he could see some ice-time playing with a great center (Hagens if he stays). #STLBlues.

Please nothing stupid… #STLBlues.
Loads of industry chatter around Byram and the Blues out there.

The Blues could offer anywhere from $4.68M to $7.02M for Byram. Anything more and they don’t have the draft pick capital. I like the idea, but I think Buffalo matches anything in that range. Not sure Byram is worth giving up valuable assets in a trade either. #STLBlues.
The Blues have been “trying hard” to get Bowen Byram from Buffalo, according to a league source. There’s still a possibility that Byram gets an offer sheet. #stlblues.

San Jose claims Nick Leddy off waivers from St. Louis.

Last July the Blues extended Buch (still dont love that) and my vibes were low. Since then, they acquired Holloway, Broberg and Fowler for cheap, traded from a position of strength to get a young RHD, and added stopgap Cs til Dvorsky is ready. Now my vibes are high.

I’m pumped. Doug, Steen and Co. have been absolutely cooking for the last 11 months. Clear vision + execution. Still probably 1-2 years away from being “legit contenders”, but there’s a lot to be excited about. Playoff team now and hope your young guys develop. LFGB. #STLBlues.

Waive Leddy ✅.Acquire young Dman with high upside ✅.Help your weak center depth ✅. Nothing super flashy, but I’m very pleased with the offseason. And there’s still around $6M in cap space available IF Leddy leaves. #STLBlues.

And it also leaves open the opportunity to trade Schenn if you can still get a nice haul for him. Don’t think there’s a rush to do that, but now the Blues have the replacement if they want more cap space / future assets.

The Blues only had to commit 2x$4M for a 29 y/o C who scored 25 last year with strong defensive numbers. The perfect fit for the roster while we wait for Dvorsky. Suter, Schenn, Bjugstad are your 2-4Cs. Nothing crazy, but with where STL is at, it gets the job done. #STLBlues.

BANGGGGGG.
#stlblues have placed D Nick Leddy on regular waivers. The 34-year-old has one year left at $4m - Leddy and the Blues had been working together to find a trade partner where he’d get more opportunity. Trade hasn’t materialized so taking a swing on waivers. Effortless skater.
