The St. Louis Blues have done themselves no favors with some of the deals they have given out. Despite what many think, the contracts given out were fair at the time. Players have just not lived up to them.
Surprisingly, the thing that is holding the team back in the open market is favoring the Blues in regards to the expansion draft. People might be wondering what that is. Essentially, they have enough guys signed to the right length contracts that the Blues have many more options on who to protect.
So, basically when it is a slow news day or week, we have to rack our brains with something to discuss.
