2 Minute Minor
Hi Keeba!
Another thing that is great about the Stastny situation is that he gets to go through training camp with us to get adjusted. Getting him at the trade deadline may have been a Miller situation for bit as he played with one team his whole life and suddenly is on a new team in the same division. The Blues would have to juggle lines in the regular season to try and find something. Now they can do it during training camp.
Now, instead of being traded, he makes the choice to come to St. Louis and gets the entire offseason and training camp to become acquainted with everything.
Also an argument for why Sobotka/Schwartz would be unwise to hold out. I think the possibility is remote (but its really Schwartz' only negotiating option), but this season in particular it would be detrimental.
