The St. Louis Blues have re-signed Magnus Paajarvi. The deal is reportedly for one year and worth $800,000.
The funny thing is the reasonable reaction to the signing. It’s a complete turnaround from the reaction the same transaction would have garnered a few months ago.
Personally, I’m fine with the re-signing. The Blues have to have depth and the contract is team friendly.
$800,000 is not going to break the bank. It is extremely unlikely to be the difference between signing a free agent or not either. And just for clarification, the one-way part of his deal does not mean he cannot be sent to the minors.
