David Perron's decision to sign with the Red Wings is just one of the factors contribution to the St. Louis Blues' poor start

The St. Louis Blues’ record of 3-7 ranks 31st out of 32 NHL teams. The finger-pointing has already started in St. Louis.

Jeremy Rutherford of the Athletic reported that on multiple occasions a veteran Blues has talked to Jordan Kyrou about his “lackadaisical performance.” After signing a big contract (eight years, $65 million) this offseason, Kyrou is -15 in the Blues’ first 10 games.

He’s not the only Blues player with statistical struggles. Much-respected Ryan O’Reilly shows one goal in 10 games. The team’s defensive play hasn’t been sharp. Torey Krug is -11. Colton Parayko is -8.

The Detroit Red Wings have also contributed to the Blues’ poor start by signing David Perron and trading for goalie Ville Husso who was about to become a free agent. Both Perron and Husso were vital contributors to the Blues last season. Perron seemed to have superb chemistry with O’Reilly and Husso had a breakthrough season with the Blues. Both Perron and Husso are playing well for the Red Wings.

Did Doug Armstrong make the right personnel decisions? It’s easy to be a Monday morning quarterback when things don’t go well.

Senators Update

Canadian-born actor Ryan Reynolds confirmed on the tonight show that he is indeed trying to buy the Ottawa Senators. He is also one of the owners of the Welsh soccer team, Wrexham.
