I won’t be surprised if people around the league would think it’s a mistake to let him go.
However, the delivery here is blatantly biased.

Strickland reported they came in at $9.25. That's beyond reasonable for a first ask.
Jr writing and talking is on the top notch now.
Now he speaks what info and his feels about it.
Old days he sucked Hitch thumb and cleaned Army's shoes and head. Write what only favor Blues front Office. Everything is done right way, zero negativity.

With Free Agent Frenzy just two weeks away, Pierre LeBrun and Craig Button join James Duthie to discuss the latest on where talks stand with the Blues and pending UFA Alex Pietrangelo, and where the best fit is for the sought after defenceman.

Hopefully. Could use some rare good news these days
I just finished reading a article by JR in the Athletic.
JR spoke to an agent who said: He’s gonna leave... I just feel like this is one of those things where it should get done but doesn't. it’s stupid that it won’t because of everyone’s f***ing egos and pride it’s not going to get resolved.
After reading that quote, Honestly that's the point where I'm getting too.

If there is any truth to this report, then maybe Armstrong should be fired. If this comes down to egos, it is entirely inexcusable.

I agree. I try to take stuff with a grain of salt but this I sort of believe it. Yup Army should be fired.

Nowhere in that article on the Athletic does it have a quote anything like what you have typed here. The closest thing I can find is this final paragraph:
Is that what you are trying to paraphrase?
Please. Agent with axe to grind poking at Army.

Fair enough. Don't mean to attack you, but paraphrasing something like than then calling it a quote will be misleading to some.

If you think $9.25 M is an unreasonable point to start negotiations from an agency you either don't know how the process works, or are just massively underrating Pietro
Laughable quote.
People around the league don't know what's going on in the negotiations to have that sort of reaction. But JR of course would never realize this.
If they're holding fast to 9+, I'm with you. Megacontracts are a gamble, and this contract covers Pietrangelo in his 30s. He's for sure worth 9 mil a year now, but even three years from now that may not be the case, and we'd need to move tons of players out to afford a eight figure Petro.+
Goodbye Petro. Thanks for the cup.
Again, my preference is using Tarasenko's LTIR money to sign Petro to anything up to 9 mil and worry about cap dumping Bozak or whoever when 91 is ready to return, which should be midseason where some teams may be desparate for a stopgap 3C and Perunovich/Mikkola may have made Dunn even more expendable.
Here is last JR article about Pietro.
Really good article imo, I liked how Dom get throught about how Pietro could decline and end of day his last 2 seasons could be bad, but overally Pietro mature well and shouldn't be problematic.

If the conclusions drawn by that anonymous agent are true, there is plenty of blame to go around on both sides. I'm never in favor of undercutting a direct report, but this seems like a situation where Stillman should reach out to the player (not the agent) and see what Petro is really hung up on, and either tell him he supports his GM and they're not going to be able to make it work, or go back to Army and tell him "I know you don't want to give in and give the player 'X, Y and Z' but it is important to me and to the franchise that you make this exception and do it." There is absolutely no excuse for a reasonable deal not to be worked out if the player and the owner agree in principle just because the GM and the agent can't work past their differences. You don't do this for every player, but I think this is the one rare exception where, as the owner, you take this step to mediate between the two sides to get the right outcome.

F these Newport guys. That is Schwartz saying he bleeds blue. Scheen did this and got a very good 8 year contract within a week. Petro would be signed if he didn’t let these dipshits hardball “his” team.

if Petro is sticking with 9+, then that is on HIM and his ego/desire to cash in on his last contract - not Army nor his agent
It sure looks like from here that Newport and Petro have not modified their demands at all
EVERY dman making above 8.25 has won a Norris
and all had their salaries negotiated as the cap went up, not during this current uncertainty
if he goes to Toronto, then he was going there all along and that is not on Army
if he goes to Fla or Det then it is about the money/ego and that is also not on Army
those are his decisions to make, and I don't personally have a problem with that whatever way it goes but..
the "I really want to stay but I feel disrespected" crap is complete bullpoop, it is either a negotiating ploy or an out of control, Mr Jack Inthebox head sized ego
