The St. Louis Blues put Ty Rattie on waivers a day after the Winter Classic. He was claimed off waivers the following day by the Carolina Hurricanes.
Thankfully, we will never have to see that awful mustache just above the blue note any more. In all seriousness though, the Blues lost a player with some good upside but one who had not managed to show anything yet at the NHL level.
The Blues gambled on Rattie twice this year and lost both times. The first time was clearly the contract they gave him.
There was nothing really wrong with the deal.
