That sounds like the Blues offered $2.4m, Sobotka countered for $3m, and the Blues raised their offer t o $2.7m. Or am I reading it wrong? that looks like it's more on Sobotka for not being willing to come down than anything else.
It might have been $300k over the NHL contract, but he got $4M with term to play in the KHL. So he was willing to give up a million to stay in the NHL(albeit short deal so he could hit UFA).
Btw Sobotka for $3M would've actually been a very solid deal, certainly better than losing him anyway.
