Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic: (mailbag) Don’t believe that the St. Louis Blues re-signing defenseman Marco Scandella means they can’t afford to re-sign Alex Pietrangelo. Scandella’s money could also be what they have planned on giving Jay Bouwmeester, who now may not return.
If the Blues are looking to move some salary cap space, don’t see many teams being interested in trading for Tyler Bozak and his $5 million contract (one-year left).
The Blues could likely clear out some space by trading goaltender Jake Allen.
