The St. Louis Blues have addressed most of their pressing questions this summer, with one notable exception. Defenseman Jordan Schmaltz, a restricted free agent, is still lacking a contract for the 2018-19 season.
Schmaltz, 24, doesn’t sound like he’s too worried about receiving a new contract before the new season starts. In an interview with the Grand Folks Herald, Schmaltz said he plans to have a contract in place before training camp.
“For me, I’m just basically waiting to sign a contract, to agree on a deal. It will get done before camp.”
As far as the Blues are concerned, all indications have pointed to the team figuring out a way to keep Schmaltz in the mix.
