Lehtera is a third-round pick (65th overall) of the Blues in 2008. Last season, he had 44 points (12 goals, 32 assists) in 48 KHL games.

Probably just standard Blues optimism but:

I think the #stlblues have a real shot to sign Stastny.

It does read very confidently though.

Wow, word is the Blues have come to an agreement w/ Statstney

Wow, can't believe we actually signed someone. $7mm AAV ain't no joke, but I'm happy.

We got em!

Well, I guess they showed me! Not much you can complain about when signing a guy like that.

A good amount of money, but that term is ridiculously good for the Blues. Much better deal than I would've expected from signing one of the top few free agents.

I didn't think about Thornton. I'd take him. I've also heard Eric Staal may be available.

I'm willing to go for broke. Trade our top pick next year, Rattie/Jaskin, and a roster player for one of the top guys available. I'd even give up Oshie if they won't take Berglund. Just don't trade Tarasenko, Schwartz, Petro or Shatty. Everyone else is available.

EDIT: That's in addition to signing Stastny. The window is NOW.

With Statsny signed and all the assets still available, is a Thornton trade still a possibility? How likely?

Congrats, bros!
