I think the new playoff format really hurts the teams that are in strong conferences. Blues had to play the #3 and #1 teams in the conference in rounds 1 and 2 and the Sharks had #5 and #7. True Nashville gave the Sharks everything they had but they aren't no Hawks or Stars.  

Not really sure what pieces they need to get farther.  I think #19 needs to go and they might need another dynamic forward to take some defenders away from Tarasenko.  I think Backes made a statement to keep him around if they can afford it. 

All on the Blues... could've/should've finished the Hawks in five. Could've finished the Stars in 6. Their early round lolli-gaging caught up to them physically. 

I disagree on Bouw, or at least on who needs to go. Get Shatty outta here while you can still get something for him. He actually got worse as the playoffs went on if that's possible. -8, 19PIM, and 21 giveaways this playoffs. Geez...
