The Blues have done the best they can in light of all of this off-season’s dramatics but there are still moves to be made. They have lost — or will lose — notable pieces to their lineup and the replacements leave a bit to be desired. There is still a lot of hope for the Blues off-season, though, even if their current moves shine a little light into them moving in a new direction.
But I’m a sentimental cynic. With the right level of smarts, the Blues could not only come back just as good as they were last year, they could be much better.
