How do you think they will place this year and what do you think of their moves in the offseason?

as a detroit fan i liked manny legace. i think he will help you. he can be great, but at times he can lapse but overall he is an upgrade. the addition of Martin Rucinskywill help alot. they should be closer to the playoffs than to the bottom of the standings and with a little luck? hey maybe but dont bet the house.

Place? Anyway, I think they will finish above dead last but not by much. Getting Guerin is just stupid. He's 103 y/o and doesn't Tkachuk play a similar way? They Blues need to get quicker!
Weight coming back is OK but I've never been a big Dougie fan as he telpgraphs his passes too much and is easy to check really as he rarely shoots.
I think the Blues would have been better off dumping Tkachuk and rebuilding. hopefully, Jackman will stay healthy.
Don't expect a return to the playoffs just yet.

They might have improved their goal tending with Manny Legace, Jay McKee will defiantly help their defence, and Hinote is solid player but nothing special. The Doug Weight for most the season and weren't very good, so i don't see him making an impact. They might not be dead last, but they won't be in the playoffs.

Legace will help out a lot at the net, but I don't think that it will help them enough to get back to the playoffs. You still need to score. I'm picking them to finish fourth in the Central and maybe third worst in the conference. Chicago is still pretty lousy.

I'm from St Louis and am embarressed over the Blues in the last few years. When I was younger they were a good team (this was before the whole Gretzgy/Hull thing that was going on). I hope they can get their act together before St Louis gets sick of them and sells them!

aw i don't really care for the blues so i don't know there average but if they finished last place all i can say is somebody had to come in last thank god it wasn't the Devils, But maybe it was because of injuries but i think they should trade players and try to get rookies or maybe they had alot of rookies and figured it would be good experience but they should get better players

makes sense that they were in last. Usually, the one with the "blues" is down at rock bottom.

some great moves (ESPECIALLY THE MOVE TO GET MANNY LEGACE) I think they'll finish about 10th in the west and not make to much noise...
