They need goalie thenThis is so inaccurate. Trading Johnsson+Andersen is more than enough to sign Pietro.

I can see it. I remember Stastny saying there were 2 Blues at his wedding party, Pietrangelo and Steen. Albeit Stastny is only there for one more year, but maybe he re-signs at a lesser value. Reaves is there too.
Maybe Pietrangelo takes $7.5 million over 7 years, front loaded. The lost income, in the Blues offer, is made up by living in a state with no personal income taxes.
Knights would have to move Fleury to sign Lehner, but I could see him back in Pittsburgh, with Tristan Jarry. Pens haven't won a Cup since Fleury left.
Renaud Lavoie was on the fan 590 and he said he believed Pietrangelo did want to stay with the Blues but now that it looks like he's hitting the market he would like to go home and home is Toronto.
He didn't say it was going to happen but he did say if the Blues aren't an option Toronto is his first choice.
the plot thickens.
"I believe X player is going to a big 3 market destination (Toronto, Montreal, New York)."

Pietrangelo’s young wife is from St. Louis. They have three little kids. She might want to stay close to her family. He likely stays in St. Louis, because it’s better for his family.
Apparently the 3 kids are triplets. Uprooting that and disconnecting from the current support network is likely a huge PITA.
So true. I wouldn’t be shocked if one of these “so called” reporters says the Canucks aren’t signing Markstrom and Tanev, because they’re after Pietrangelo. The guy is recently married to a St. Louis girl, and has three little kids. Usually young moms want to stay close to their families. And AP will make 60 million on this contract in St. Louis. Toronto gives him 70 million. Is that worth uprooting his young family?"I believe X player is going to a big 3 market destination (Toronto, Montreal, New York)."

“Happy wife ...” 60 million in St. Louis, or 70 in TO. He’s staying.Apparently the 3 kids are triplets. Uprooting that and disconnecting from the current support network is likely a huge PITA.
Her parents? A young mom will want to be close to her family. The mother-in-law ... not so much. AP will do what’s best for his young family. Plus, imo, the Leafs shouldn’t be after another 10 million dollar player anyway.Supposedly the grand parents are in Toronto

Like Stamkos?Not hard for the Leafs to clear enough cap space. Almost guaranteed he signs with the Leafs and at a lower cap hit than people expect.
They actually have 4 little kids. Triplets under 2 and a newborn. Which also solidifies your point.Pietrangelo’s young wife is from St. Louis. They have three little kids. She might want to stay close to her family. He likely stays in St. Louis, because it’s better for his family.
I don't disagree, but we also know nothing about their family, so there's no point speculating that he won't leave St. Louis because she won't allow it.Her parents?

Yes! more like Tavares.... but cheaper. Way cheaper than expected. $7.8 mil per.Like Stamkos?

I'd assume any millionaire with triplets would have a full time nanny. God, I am not a millionaire but I'd figure out a way to get a nanny haha

AP definitely deserves a full No Move Clause.While I agree, a player with that mindset will only sign if they give him a full NMC. Last thing he needs is a trade in year 5 to a random city with his kids in school.
So far they haven’t given it to him, but if they budge on that Pie will likely re-sign.
Montreal doesn't get anybody
