Same. They remind me of the Bruins in so many ways.

Nah, right near the end, but I was really hoping he'd take that next step up and put up 50-ish pts, or at least be in the 40-45 pt range from last year. Not the case so far.

Heh, Oshie went undrafted in my pool. Picked him up for free. Although he has been okay, considering his PPG last year, I was expecting more. Hope you didn't grab Pets too high.

Pietrangelo had 43 pts last year and only has 9 so far this year too. He needs to bring some offense from that back end. Especially for those of us who took him in our pools……

I really though Oshie would have a breakout season this year and hit 30, but he's on pace for ~20. Maybe next year.

St. Louis has plenty of cap space and only a handful of players signed past next season. I think they could seriously go either way in the next few season: boom or bust. I'm not very familiar with their management team, but if they're smart and make the right moves they could be in good shape. Or not...

My favourite West Conf team…I'd have thought their biggest issue was scoring rather than D since they're 3rd best in GA but 3rd worst or so in GF…..or so. Is there a guy there that really can push 30 goals?…Backes aside. I'd say their issue is O rather than D.
