Not according to JR. There's also a reason he hasn't been signed yet.People talking about bringing in Maroon. I think that ship has sailed.

One of Gunnarsson/BouwmeesterWe need to offload somebody I would think. Who would that be?

Back surgery.
What would be the point for either side to do it that way?So, little interesting thing I read on Twitter. Don't shoot the messenger of course. So Jeff Ponder, hosts a Blues podcast hosted with Curt Price from the LGB forum, claims to know someone in or close to the Maroon family. He says his source says that once Maroon is cleared, he'll sign a 1 year deal here and has a verbal agreement with Army to sign a 4 year extension in January.

I certainly don't want a 5-year contract...
Gross.
Ah yeah I had a brainfart and didn't take into account the cap hit is what counts for the long-term deal and not actual salary.1 year at a low enough cap hit to fit. Then we lose Bouwmeester, and its a 4 year deal at a higher cap hit to make up the 1 year.
I don't want maroon at all, but could stomach a short, cheap hometown contract. I wouldn't like it but whatever. Going 4 years after next at a high cap hit.,,,,@The Note in MI said it best...
According to Wikipedia he already plays for the BluesThe market for Maroon isn't five years, or it sure as hell shouldn't be.
Why would the Blues be interested in escalating his cap hit after next year? The only UFAs they have among forwards are Thorburn and Nolan, and there should be even more young kids competing for spots in another year than there are this year even. Fabbri could command a large raise too, if all goes well.
Even with some money freeing up on the back end, is Maroon really the asset we want to invest that in long term? Things would have to go pretty terribly for the Blues for him to be anything more than a 4th line player after this year...and even this year it still takes a number of things going poorly for him to be more than that.
Steen's salary declines but his cap hit is constant $5.75mm.I have to give respect for Army. We've get away from Berglund and Sobotka contracts. Jbo and Gunnar will naturally walk away next off-season if not trade(s) at TDL. I hope they won't resign with Blues.
Next on the line is Steen contract, but his cap hit will go down after this season 7mill.$ (18-19)--->5.5mill.$ (19-20)--->3.5mill.$ (20-21)
How Blues roster is build when don't have any bad contracts. I love it.

Aah, that is bad contract then.Steen's salary declines but his cap hit is constant $5.75mm.
Wait I'll make him to play at Toronto.
His brother Phil must be at it again!
