But the blues do have a top 3 pick on their team now, the one and only Jay Bouwmeester!!! Every time I hear his name, I'm filled with the nostalgia of his 3.5 seasons with us where we were a powerhouse contender year in and year out. I agree that it won't be until we have a player of his ilk again that we will be anything more than mediocre.
