St. Louis got some gifts along the way that helped speed things up for them that hasn’t been the case for us (O’Reilly, Schenn).
How those two got had for negative value roster players, B prospects and picks is beyond me.

That's why we have to jump on big time players, especially centers, like that when they become available. Can't let other western teams load up on guys like stone and ROR while you stand pat. Theyre big moves to make with some risk but sometimes you have to take it, particularly if you believe you're in a window. Glowing example of course being the Blues with two huge acquisitions up the middle that got them over the hump.
