Now that it appears that the Blues' roster, for all intents and purposes, is set for the season barring upstart young guys, I figured it was appropriate to take a look at the NHL's new 3-on-3 overtime idea and who exactly the Blues need to send out there.
Three-on-three will more than likely lead to the gradual elimination of the shootout, much as praise for a puppy going potty outside eventually eliminates crapping on the floor. This shift in bonus hockey ideology makes the loss of T.J. Oshie palatable for some, because of Oshie's notable skill in shootouts.
