To be honest, isn't this kind of a godsend for Tampa? Their window probably closes after this year, whether they pay Kucherov or lose him for free. By demanding a trade, he gives them a parachute and makes himself the lightning rod (pun very much intended) #GoBolts
Hockey is fundamentally changing before our very eyes. For the last decade, the pressure has been on the players to take less money and "make it work" to keep the team together. Suddenly, the pressure is on the teams to pay their stars what they deserve. It's fascinating.
No difference at all, really - Tampa Bay expected to be Cup contenders this season, and might well not trade Kucherov even if they expected him to leave. Demanding a trade puts them over a barrel - just like the U.S. players are accused of doing.
Absolute BOMBSHELL holy hell!
Breaking: Nikita Kucherov has requested a trade from the Tampa Bay Lightning, sources tell @emilymkaplan.
Those being your top two centers pretty much removed “nasty” from the equation - and I love both those guys
Interesting... I was starting to think his days were maybe numbered here. #stlblues
Marco D'Amico: #stlblues : Starr & D'Amico Show | I think that if Dalibor Dvorsky were available, Alexander Nikishin would be a Saint-Louis Blues. That's what I think. I don't think that they're rushing to get rid of him. I think it would take a monumental move to do that. - 10/29 #CarolinaCulture #NHL
It's an extreme long shot, but assuming J-Bo takes on a new challenge somewhere else next season, my one wish is that we bring in Devin Cooley as Hofer's backup #stlblues
I thought the homestead was HUGE for the #stlblues season, and while we don't leave it with a CLEAR answer, it's definitely more positive than negative. Three big wins, plus a fourth (Montreal) that we could have won on a different night. Moving in the right direction.
The Blues in dark blue sweaters beating the Bruins 4-1? Why does this seem so familiar… 🤔 #stlblues
Oooooff... that is not a good quote. I know what he's going for, but just... yikes... #stlblues
“I understand (the fans) want wins, they want results. We do too. If we got focused on results, though, things can spiral negatively in a long season. In our season, you’ve got to progress in the journey and we’re seeing us progress."

I'm just curious since it's in the rumor mill (I still don't think we get him) would you want Dylan Larkin on this team at the right price? #stlblues

44 votes • Final resultsOn the one hand I believe deep down in my core that the 2006 Cardinals team is maybe the worst to ever win the Series (and the 2004 is maybe the best to NOT win it)...
On the other hand I'm not sure a Cubs fan should ever be talking trash about World Series wins...
Who on earth told you you lost this trade? 😂 Although the fact that Kyrou is still only trusted to play 14 minutes a night should concern Caps fans pretty significantly, I would think. #stlblues
People are allowed to just say the wildest things on here #stlblues
#STLBlues should prioritize Stenberg and Kaskimaki over Dvorsky

I know this is rage bait and I still can’t ignore it. Thinking Evan Bouchard is better than Chris Pronger, Quinn Hughes, prime Duncan Keith, Drew Doughty, Erik Karlsson, Chris Pronger AGAIN, and Chris Pronger A THIRD TIME is patently insane.
That’s the one and only Kevin Shattenkirk, baby! #stlblues
Today just got interesting! I still think it's possible the #stlblues are involved in this - not getting Hellebuyck but getting a player that needs to move to let Hellebuyck land somewhere (Carolina, most likely) Could be total nonsense but just a vibe I've got.
Justin Barron the 🐐 #stlblues
Are people really re-litigating the Barbashev trade? 😂 Do people have that little going on? #stlblues
