2017-2018 Blues (Hockey) Season

[TheoSqua]

5 years, $27.5 million for Parayko. Glad it isn't a bridge deal, would've liked a 7th or 8th year but 55 likely didn't want.

5 years for under 6m is a good price for the Blues right now. If they had gone bridge they likely are paying him 6.5-7m when it's up in 2 years. If they had gone 7-8 they're likely paying him Pietrangelo money after being in the league for 2 years.

This is a solid middle ground. He gets 27m, which sets him up for life, and a chance to go back into free agency while he's still in his 20s and get one last major deal.

I would've been fine with 7 years and 6.5 AAV. I think he's going to be worth it.

That said, this is better than the bridge, and I get the reasons why they're doing it.

[MrCrowesGarden]

This also leaves the Blues with about 3 million in cap space with one more roster spot left to fill. Could be enough to sway a Jagr/Iginla/Doan/Stafford type.

[MrCrowesGarden]

Sheeeeeit.

Sorry to hear that.

Also, [expletive] the Blues and their freeloading ways on both scottrade and the raping of Creve Coeur Lake park.

[MrCrowesGarden]

Based upon an interview with Yeo, it sounds like the Blues are planning to play Sobotka on one of the top two lines. Just swell.

I may actually get into the Blues this year. I'm a big fan of JT and hope he finally gets to cover a winner.

[GeddyWrox]

This is a good move. JT is top notch (in my opinion).
