The Blues’ offseason has been in a holding pattern thanks to the August lull and still having Vladimir Tarasenko on the roster. It’s tough to know how much cap space Doug Armstrong legitimately has to work with right now to sign Tarasenko and maybe invite Tyler Bozak back for another season.
Armstrong doesn’t have to worry about the cap when it comes to signing draft picks. Last week he signed the Blues’ 2021 first round pick, Zack Bolduc, to an entry level deal. Today, he signed the Blues’ fourth round pick from 2020, Tanner Dickinson, to an entry level contract as well.
