Patrik Berglund held the position of scapegoat for St. Louis Blues fans for a very long time and was often considered as a big reason why the team was unable to find success.
After he was traded to Buffalo last July, the Blues’ fanbase needed someone else to point the finger at. The scapegoat for an organization is usually a player who is either underperforming or overpaid or both.
Looking at the salary situations for a lot of the current Blues players, there are plenty of players that meet the description of being overpaid. Fortunately for fans who practice the art of loving every player on their team, not many Blues underperformed last season.
