It’s always interesting to hear the different narratives that make the rounds in the St. Louis Blues community. Even when the excitement of the deals was at its peak, there was a vocal minority that was still upset about the Blues not landing the big fish.
Of course, in this instance, John Tavares is the big fish. He was the big star out there – the guy capable of scoring 30-plus goals and 80-plus points.
When you look at things through that narrow prism, it is understandable why getting a guy that can score 60 points is disappointing.
