I was just curious who you think will be signed and who will not be renewed that the Blues currently have in their farm system with their current contracts in mind.
Jaskin is probably tops on their list. Yanick Veilleux i would think is high on their radar as would be Ty Rattie (i dont think he has a ELC) and Jordan Binnington as well. Lundstrom as well. Those in Peoria...Bariball Fairchild Grachev look to be 4A players, kinda like Hensick.
I would be suprised to see Barriball, Sonne, Shattock, and Nigro ALL back after the season. They might hang on to a couple of them to fill out Peoria's roster. My money would be on Shattock and Nigro returning out of that group.
Safe to say that McRae, Allen and Fairchild will certainly get offered new deals.
I don't know if it's "safe" to say that at all, frankly. McRae and Allen both seem to be stalling a bit in their development, and Fairchild's sophomore slump is, in a word, awful.
I would not be surprised to see two of those players, or even all three, offered as part of a package for an NHL-ready physical LD prospect who is facing a numbers game in his current organization, or for additional picks in this year's draft.
