sign him to 1 year at 1.7 mil with an agreement on another 2-3 years at whatever AAV to be extended in January when you can extend current roster players.

yeah exactly, once bouwmeester and gunner leave we have 8.4 million in cap space. This can go to extending Maroon and locking up Schenn and Pietrangelo

I didn't believe that rumor until I read about his back surgery and how nobody is willing to give him a long deal. If he's only getting one year offers, might as well play that year in his hometown with a team with serious playoff hopes. And if he looks like he's playing himself into a bigger contract, I would think the Blues would pay him what he earns on an extension. This would be a nice add if we get him for that cheap.

agreed him and Fabbri both trying to "prove" they can be healthy and play like themselves which allows the blues to have possibly 50 goals from two guys making under 3 mil combined.

I'm officially on the Big Rig hype train... CHOO CHOO

I just assumed they were using the Blues as leverage to get a higher salary on a 1-yr deal with a team like AZ or NJ that has plenty of cap space. I hope your'e right and hes willing to go 1yr-1.7million because that would be perfect. Except the Maroon family shot down that report last night....
