Ill be whatever I want man.

Anyway,

He is what the Blues need. They need to fill holes down the middle and the addition of Stastny and Lehtera go a long way to filling that need.

You can preach about "Elite talent" all you want but thats fairly subjective. DO you get to determine "elite" level? Toews had 8 more points than Stastny last year playing in 6 more games and you call him "elite" The Rangers marched to the Cup Finals last year as well.

The laughable part is saying "its not what the Blues need" ITs exactly what the Blues "need" and was addressed by picking up the best center in FA.

Well....

Considering I'm a phone call away from working in the USHL, and turn down easy scouting paydays I think I'm a little more qualified than most.

And I've skated with the player in question over 1,000 times.

Toews is elite in a different way, his entire package is considered elite, but he's not the dynamic offensive threat that Kane is.

When the game locks up in the playoffs you need guys that can break through anything.

And they got killed. Easiest money I've ever made.

They got through a so-so Eastern Conference
