The Blues landed Mason McTavish — but why was Anaheim willing to move on?

Mike from DucksNPucks joins us to break down the McTavish trade from the Ducks' side, what St. Louis is getting, and whether Anaheim will regret moving the young center. We also talk Ross Johnston signing with the Blues and the absolute chaos surrounding Leo Carlsson's massive offer sheet from Philadelphia.

Was the McTavish trade part of a bigger plan — or has Anaheim created a McProblem of its own?

The Blues made major noise at the NHL Draft, and we’re breaking it all down. On this episode of Puck Watching, we recap the Blues’ first-round selections of Tynan Lawrence and Maddox Dagenais, two center prospects who add even more depth down the middle. We also dive into the blockbuster move for Mason McTavish, what the Blues gave up to Anaheim, and whether this is the kind of swing that changes the organization’s future. Plus, we discuss the biggest question coming out of draft weekend: do the Blues now have too many centers? With Lawrence, Dagenais, McTavish, McMichael, Dvorsky, Thomas and others in the mix, could St. Louis use that depth as trade bait? We also touch on the later-round picks, the decision to wait on defensemen, and what this all means heading into free agency.

The NHL Draft is finally here, and the Blues hold three first-round picks (11, 15, and 29) in what could be the most important draft weekend of the franchise's recent era. This week on Puck Watching, we break down the latest rumors, debate whether Alex Steen should make a blockbuster move up the board for Ivar Stenberg, and discuss the top prospects who could be targets for St. Louis.

Before the draft talk, we react to the shocking trade that sent Brady Tkachuk to Florida, joining brother Matthew on a Panthers team that may have become the NHL's newest superteam. We also discuss the additions of assistant coaches Vinny Prospal and Greg Cronin and what they could bring to Jim Montgomery's staff.

Plus, our favorite draft targets, sleeper prospects, trade-up scenarios, and final predictions ahead of a massive week for the Blues.

The Blues offseason is anything but quiet.

The Blues didn’t make the playoffs—but they didn’t go down quietly.

After finishing just four points short, we break down a season that was defined by a late surge, a new identity, and a first line that completely took over down the stretch. From Robert Thomas’ breakout late goal scoring push to Jimmy Snuggerud’s electric rookie run, to the emergence of a line that carried the offense, this team showed what it could be—just a little too late.

We dive into what really cost them a playoff spot, whether the post-Olympic run was sustainable, and how inconsistency in big moments ultimately sealed their fate. Plus, we look ahead at the NHL Draft Lottery, where the Blues land at 11th overall stuck between contention and opportunity.

They certainly did it their way this season.

We’re back live ahead of Blues vs Ducks after a wild two-week stretch. A red-hot run after the break gave St. Louis real playoff hope, but back-to-back tough losses to the Sharks and Kings may have ended it. We break down the collapse, the rise of Snuggerud and the youth core, and what this team actually is right now as we watch the Blues vs. Ducks live!

The Blues just keep winning. Since the Olympic break, St. Louis has gone 7-2-1, and somehow the team looks faster, younger, and more dangerous after the trade deadline. We break down what’s fueling the Blues’ hot stretch, including Robert Thomas’ 9-game point streak (6G, 8A), Jimmy Snuggerud’s breakout performances, and Joel Hofer’s outstanding goaltending. We also dive into the youth movement taking shape in St. Louis with Dalibor Dvorsky, Mailloux, and Berggren stepping into bigger roles, plus Cam Fowler’s quiet six-game point streak from the blue line. We discuss the wins over Anaheim, Carolina, and Edmonton, the overtime battle with the Islanders, and what went wrong against Winnipeg — along with what still concerns us despite the team’s recent success. Are the Blues preparing for a playoff push? Or are they giving us false hope?
