Backes to Blues


7>4

Recommended Posts

Not sure if this was posted on another thread but see where St. Louis signed David Backes. Big loss for UM-Mankato. Wondering how this will affect Oshie's decision at the end of the year?

Wow kinda surprised me to see him go, but the Blues need something. Personally, I think that Oshie is developed physically enough to sign, but not mentally, therefore I do not believe the Blues will sign him. Yes the Blues suck, but Backes was a junior/senior (more experience), no need to sign Oshie, let him develop a little bit more, and don't have to worry about paying him. If they want to make a huge move for a forward prospect there going to go for the Junior MacMurchy from Wisconsin before Oshie, he doesn't have the numbers like Oshie, but he's an extra body that they can pay less. If they look outside of college they have Aaltonen in Europe who can put up some good numbers. This is all personal opinion thought and don't hold me too this

It's very unlike Larry Pleau to rush a player along the development path. Unless Oshie badly wants to leave, I don't think you guys have anything to worry about.

And even though the Blues suck this year, they've really got enough young forwards on the team and they'll be looking at free agency to make the team better.

They may want to look at Bantams, Midgets, and Pee Wees to make the team better! :huh:
