Scott Rhein: Hello Jeff, I love your Monday chats! I have 2 questions about the Blues.
1. It has been a good start since the All-Star game. After watching Saturdays game. Do you think we need help up the center? Would moving a defensemen or two help get a good defensemen to quarterback the powerplay?
2. What are the chances of St. Louis surprising everyone and getting Peter Forsberg?
Thank You
Scott
Jeff Gordon: Forsberg wants to go to a Cup contender, which is why Philly leads the list. He likes Colorado, but the Avalanche, like the Blues, are just fighting to get into the playoffs. In time, the Blues will have their No. 2 center with Berglund. For now, I can like with Tkachuk in that role. But, yes, the team needs a hammer for their power play point.
Kevin Weber: I saw somewhere that Mo said that the cardinals are probably done trying to find pitchers. I know they are happy with Mulder right now, but wouldn't trying to get someone like Jeff Weaver on a 1 year dear be a pretty sound investment?
Jeff Gordon: Boras still believes he can get nice money for Weaver. So we'll see. If a bargain fell Mo's way, he'd have to take a look at it. But that is a big "if" in this market.
matt"mvp"stroehmer: with the addition of Saunders as the new OC and him having full play calling duties. What type of players do you see us signing/drafting for the offense?
thanks,
Matt "MVP" Stroehmer
Jeff Gordon: He needs to assess the o-line to see what he thinks of Setterstrom, Incognito and Barron. Those three are big keys, in addition to Pace and his health. I think he'll like the RBs well enough, but he'll want another WR and a third QB to develop. Also, the Rams will need at least one more TE. Enough of Dominique Byrd already.
Mike: I don't understand why the laughingstock lambs are
supposedly going to fire Tony Softli. Huh? This is the worst run franchise in the NFL...bar none. More often than they screw up the draft AND free agency, and the arrogant pompous scumbags Shaw and Ziggy are going to can the ONLY guy who has decent credentials in this department?
Makes no sense...but when you work 24/7 at being a laughingstock, it becomes more clear. These people are a joke. Crap rolls downhill, especially out at Rams' Daycare.
Jeff Gordon: There are some internal doubts as to how strong he really is. But I did like the recent drafts more than the previous few the Rams had without him.
Geoff: Of the rams free agents, who do u see the rams keeping? And who are likely cap casulties?
Jeff Gordon: Internally, there has been some debate about Brandon Chillar. Should the Rams buck up? I think so. But we'll see. Otherwise, the Rams have to decide whether to keep playing Pace, Little and Bruce. Some restructuring could be in order. But with the cap growing, this is more of a budgetary issue. Cap space is not a big issue with this team.
