Theo Lindstein

So they've got, in my opinion, four guys right now that like to play in the rush as defensemen, and you've got one guy who's a stay-at-home defenseman and another one who can do both.

How are you supposed to mix those pairs up? So I do think it's been thrown into flux a little bit because of Adam Juracek, but your other option is Lindstein, and Lindstein's the same guy.

Agreed.

Lindstein's not a shutdown defenseman.

He's a puck mover.

I just look at the team right now, and having watched them for the first 10 to 12 games of the regular season, I don't get excited about any of it.

So yeah, it, I don't know.

I just could not see a situation where as much as the Blues would want a guy like Edmondson, they say, OK, here's Carbonell, here's Lindstein, and here's two first-round

picks.

I think San Jose, I think Utah, those two teams are probably going to be at the front of this conversation to acquire.

And so like that on top of I I'm with J.R. Like I think Dvorsky is appealing, but I don't think he moves the needle that much.

So like it would have to be Dvorsky plus.

And now you're talking and I don't even think Lindstein moves the needle because people what they want to do is say, well, we'll give Dvorsky and Lindstein and Stenberg.

That's not they don't want that.

For sure.

And, you know, who knows? Theo Lindstein coming back, Zach Dean coming back.

Maybe those are a couple of guys that – Wagner coming back are three, hopefully, are three guys that – you'd think would help in that department.

And the fact that Wagner, I know he didn't play, but the fact that he made the trip to Charlotte means he's got to be close.

Zach Dean comes down.

Sam Stang goes down to Worcester.

Theo Lindstein comes down.

So I guess good and bad, right? We're getting some of these guys healthy, which is good.

So, you know, that's the way I see it playing out.

You know, I know I was asked in the mailbag a couple of weeks ago, what happens when may you comes back, who goes down at the time? Lindstein was still here.

We thought that Lindstein would probably be one guy that goes down.

And then, you know, when Tucker comes back, does a Euro check go down? You know, I think that could be the case, especially with him, not on the power play now and now playing in that third pair with Baron.

So I would guess that somehow, some way it would find its way back to may you being in that top pair with Broberg.

You know, I know I was asked in the mailbag a couple weeks ago what happens when Mayhew comes back, who goes down.

At the time, Lindstein was still here.

We thought that Lindstein would probably be one guy that goes down.

And then, you know, when Tucker comes back, does Juracek go down? You know, I think that could be the case, especially with him not on the power play now and now playing in that third pair with Barron.

So I would guess that somehow, someway, it would find its way back to Mayhew being in that top pair with Broberg.

And then you could have a third line that's, like, Neighbors, Suter, and Booch.

If Dalibor, Dvorsky, and, for example... one of your other, like, Lindstein, Dalibor Dvorsky, and then another prospect or a first-round pick is the return for a guy like Dylan Larkin.

And Larkin's under contract for years to come.

I mean, look, it's...

3.46, oh, I said Barron and Juracek.

3.1, Lindstein and Pareko.

And 2.8, Fowler and Broberg.

Or I'm sorry, Fowler and Pareko.
