Like the color blue?I know. We need to agree on a universal font for sarcasm.

At first I didn't like the signing but now as much as I like to criticize Doug Armstrong I'll give credit where it's due and that was a great signing by Army.
Going way back I didn't like Perron and was happy that he was traded so I didn't have to see his offensive zone penalties. I like Perron now and is a better player despite the David Perron special o-zone penalty. I'm glad he is in St Louis
Could have been more Blues’ games if not for Joe Thornton and a suicide pass from Pietro (if I remember correctly).Bumping this thread to give DP57 a shout out for the milestones.
As a Blue: 600 games played and 400 points.
Overall in the NHL; 900 games played and 600 points.
Not NHL HOF worthy(definitely should be in the St. Louis Sports HOF at some point) but he's made a nice little career for himself.
This a joke? We signed Faulk to a massive deal the offseason before losing petro......and your mad about signing a PPG player for 4 mill, two offseasons before Petro was up?You missed the real issue with the Perron signing. If we didn't sign him, we would have had all that money to put towards re-signing Pietrangelo.

You misspelled Faulk
The points/stats bar is unquestionably lower for core players on the franchise's first Cup team than it was for players who never won a Cup here. Barring injury, he's going to be in the franchise top 10 for games played, goals, assists, and points by the mid-point of next season. He was a big contributor in the team's first Cup and there is the lore of him "choosing St. Louis" that absolutely plays into these decisions. Once he is in the franchise top 10 for every major category, I think the only thing he has to do to get his number in the rafters is sign his next (and likely final) NHL contract with the Blues.I'd love to see Perron get 6 more points and finish at PPG or above for the season. It would be a nice feather in his cap.
You'd have to think it's a pretty sure thing that we'll see 57 retired in the rafters some day. (After his next $4M x 4yr contract.)
Edit: He'd probably need another 200-250 points as a Blue to get his number retired. Unger at 575 points isn't retired, nor is Demitra (493). Steen at 765 games and 496 points may not be retired, so Perry's got some work to do yet. I can see him being productive to 36 or 37 so I hope he sticks around.
Edit 2: Perron becomes the ninth player in franchise history to reach 600 games and 400 points with the Blues, joining Bernie Federko, Brian Sutter, Alexander Steen, Alex Pietrangelo, Brett Hull, David Backes, Garry Unger and Al MacInnis. With a point Monday, Perron has now registered three seasons with 50 or more points.
without the head shot, he is likely closer to 680 points, so he would have had a shot at 1000 points
Everyone screwed this up. We should have just kept our D the way is was on June 13, 2019. Why we traded for Faulk -- which started the money dominoes that ultimately excluded Petro -- is a mystery. Our D corps was very solid.
