St. Louis Blues mailbag: Submit your questions for Jeremy Rutherford
- Fan asks if Dalibor Dvorsky should be shoved to the wing, traded, or just politely demoted to 3C purgatory.
- Organization reportedly has a 'plethora' of middling centers, because nothing says contender like a stockpile of average.
- The Athletic's Jeremy Rutherford will now sift through these hot takes to deliver the cold, hard truth.
- Nothing says 'we believe in our prospects' like openly debating their trade value before they've finished puberty.
- 1C and 2C are locked up, so the real question is: who gets to be the next scapegoat in St. Louis?
Brief Summary
The St. Louis Blues fanbase is already sharpening its knives for Dalibor Dvorsky, a 20-year-old who apparently hasn't single-handedly justified his draft slot in a franchise that's allergic to rebuilding. The question isn't whether the kid has skill—it's whether he can survive the fanbase's obsession with trading every young asset for a rental that will miss the playoffs anyway. The Athletic's Jeremy Rutherford will field these pearls of wisdom, likely reminding everyone that patience isn't a virtue in this town; it's a foreign concept.
Why This Matters
For the average Blues fan, this mailbag is a grim preview of the next five years of organizational mismanagement. Instead of enjoying a rare, cheap, controllable asset, the fanbase is already inventing scenarios to deal him away for a pittance. The personal takeaway: if you ever hear a Blues fan say 'trust the process,' check your wallet—they're probably trying to sell you a bridge.
