I mentioned in another thread that the loss of Brad Shaw from the coaching staff was a big loss. Hitch gets recognized as a defensive coach, but, imo, Shaw was the driver for the defensive schemes. Don't think it is a coincidence that Shaw's new team, the Blue Jackets, are now when of the best defensive teams, while the Blues are one of the worst

Armstrong is now in the hot seat. Yeo was his choice; he gave Allen a 4 year $17M+ contract extension; signed Stastny, Lehtera to big contracts; let Backes and Brouwer walk for nothing.
