Podein25 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 The Blues have waived Magnus Pääjärvi, or Old Six Dots as my good friend Ryan calls himFormer 1st round pick of the Oilers. Is he worth a pick up? Size and speed, not sure about the noggin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR Ewing Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Well, you've said it: NHL size and speed. He's more than reasonable in his own end. At one time, my hope was that he could become a Radek Dvorak type (minus that one freaky 31 goal year) but I seriously doubt he will ever do that. His problem: he has a muffin of a shot and isn't fond of using the tools he has to get the puck into prime scoring areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know about the shot, but yeah, he's never wanted to go to the hard areas. Or even the medium ones. That doesn't fly in today's game and certainly not in STL.

It's too bad for PRV, because (again) he some tools in his box that he could use. Maybe, when you convert a defenseman into a forward at 14, this is what you can get sometimes: a guy who doesn't have the mentality to go to those areas as much out of habit as anything else.

Maybe he should convert back to D?! I'm a convert to D and now I'm a star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to guess you're a convert like most of the guys I know...too lazy to play forward anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teenagemutantninjahertl Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Why has no one picked him up off of waivers? He is a solid depth player that a team could grab for nothing. I know he has underachieved his draft position, but he is a solid player in a fourth line role. Maybe a third liner on a team without a lot of depth.
