I actually wouldn't be surprised if Sobotka gets moved, he's raised his value -quite- a bit this season/postseason

i would hate to see him moved, hes so important in every aspect of the game



let andy mac walk, resign peitrangelo, and get a big time scorer

I agree, Sobotka is a bad motherfucker and has shown how good he really is
We will see, though

I disagree with Sobotka solely based on the numbers he's put up. 19 points in 48 games and -4

Tarasenko scored same number of points and +1 in 10 less games.

I haven't watched that many regular season Blues games though because they aren't aired on the East coast so..

I dont really follow the blues but I think Sobotka brings alot more to the table than Tarasenko, tho.

sobotka is the biggest pain in the ass there is on this team. he hits hard and rarely ever gets knocked down.

finishes all his checks, is a great passer, gets to the dirty areas, is a great backchecker and forechecker, and has played on all lines this season, along with being our best faceoff guy.

he can be put anywhere and at and anytime, including our top PK unit, and for a while he actually ran our PP and brought it out of the slump.

he makes a mark every game, whether he gets points or not, and is a major glue guy.

Sobotka is a -GREAT- player that cannot be described by stats at all
Such a hard forechecker and makes huge hits and plays constantly
Always puts his heart and soul into every shift
He'd be much better if he were just a bit bigger or with sweeter hands he could be a superstar

keep sobotka for sure...and schwartz both of these players fit well in the blues system

definetly need a finisher, tarasenko's softness worries me though

should go after lecavlier
