The Opening Drive

Kerbs joins BK & Brooke to talk about the logjam that the Blues have to sort out on the blues line, how much things could change between now and the start of the season, who the “QBs” will be on the power play if Krug is out, why it’s still a big question mark whether Perunovich can step into that role, why Faulk & Parayko aren’t immune from criticisms about shooting the puck, how arrogance could actually be a good attribute for Perunovich to develop, why he would describe this as a successful offseason for the Blues, putting themselves in a good position for their rebuild/retool, why the playoffs shouldn’t be out of reach and who he would rank as the best Blues player since 2000.
