I'd love to see the Blues with a true first line center... watching Tarasenko is like watching JC on the Chiefs (but like franchise QBs, franchise centers don't grow on trees). And of course Stastny would be a really good 2nd line center. As inept as they've been on offense, that little pipe dream would go a long way towards getting them over the hump.

And WTF, Oilers, let's not make this another 7-0 game.

Yeah the Blues have needed a high end 1C for years, although I don't think Tarasenko needs anyone in particular as he's already incredible. Would help spread the offensive depth a lot, though.

I mean, Tavares is UFA at the end of next year and the Islanders are kind of a mess...i could see the Blues being a great fit for him.

That said, Fabbri is someone I could see being a very good 1C. I know he's mostly played at LW thus far in the NHL, but he was drafted as a center and certainly has the skillset to be a great distributor. He's a big loss for em right now.
