Lou Korac: St. Louis Blues pending UFA defenseman Alex Pietrangelo in a text: “Contract talks haven’t gone the way both sides were hoping and unless something changes, it’s in the best interests for everyone to see what the market looks like on Oct. 9.”
Lou Korac: Believe that things are over between the Blues and Pietrangelo just yet. Though could be wrong, still have the sense that deal will get done. Pietrangelo still wants to stay in St. Louis. Don’t think that the bridge between the two is a big as some may think.
