if petro doesnt sign with STL what are your thoughts

Is it necessary with Rasmus Andersson?

If not STL, I think the best fits are Philly and Calgary. Dallas would be a good fit, and Colorado could probably fit him in, but I can't picture him wearing those colors - probably just the Blues fan in me tbh. Winnipeg is a perfect fit on the ice but the destination is hard to sell. ANA could use him but he doesn't fit their window that well and they keep an internal cap so probably wouldn't want to shell out that kind of money. Dark horse would be if Vegas can move enough cap - they have made some bold moves before.

Tampa is in cap hell, no way they can take on that contract.

I think Philly. If I was his agent I would recommend it. The team is loaded with young talent and a superb young goaltender. As he ages, the team should remain within a competitive window. Calgary is good but I fear Gaudreau leaving, Giordano is what? 36? And goalies are good but not great. Although they still have Andersson, Monahan, Hanafin, etc., I just think it would make more sense for Pietrangelo personally. Also don't sleep on Winnipeg. I know it's not an ideal place for FA's but if Winnipeg gets Pietrangelo, it's an instant cup contender. I don't think Dallas should invest in Defense since there's are already so good. Offense has been the issue and that's how I would use my cap space.

My personal preference on where I would want to see him to go, without worrying about cap space, fit, etc., would be back to St. Louis. I highly respect Pietrangelo and his game and I think it would be cool to see him play his entire career there. I would hate watching him play my Wild 4-5 times a year but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to accept. Just my 2 cents on that.

That Tampa trade is horrible for the flames, they could probably get Johnson for a couple picks.
