Blues general manager Doug Armstrong is busy locking down his restricted free agents. Robert Thomas is the last RFA standing after today’s signing of Zach Sanford to a one year deal worth $2 million. Sanford’s spent three seasons with the Blues after part of one with the team that drafted him, the Washington Capitals. In those three seasons, Sanford’s scored 36 goals and 35 assists; he also scored a goal in game seven against the Boston Bruins to help solidify the Blues’ Stanley Cup win.
Sanford’s $2 million contract is a slight raise over his last deal, which was a two year contract worth $1.
