Close your eyes. Turn on your imagination.
It’s the morning of NHL Free Agency. The St. Louis Blues have been shut out of the bidding on John Tavares and Artemi Panarin. A trade for Ryan O’Reilly remains possible but expensive. The natives are restless. The cap space is growing with nowhere to spend it. The team needs scoring. You’re panicked. Desperate. Then suddenly, a life line.
You grab it and feel it in your hands. This life line put up 50 assists last year. No, it can’t play center, but it can create plays.
