yup. either pie gets traded now, at the deadline or he's kept for this season only. the latter seems the most likelyYou think? I guess if we're looking at age, $$ etc. Yeah.

What's Pietrangelo's deal shaping up to be?
7-8 yrs at 9M?

No reason to move him. He's cheap and can play either side. He'll be the 7th, and he'll get playing time given the amount of time that Gunnarsson and Bouwmeester have missed in the last couple of seasons.As a Ducks fan, I have some interest in Bortuzzo. Could any Blues fans comment on where they expect him to slot in now that Faulk has been added? Could Bortuzzo potentially be available?
Think he’s more between the OEL/Carlson $8.25 range and the doughty/EK range of $11. I’d bet $9.5 to $10 for him.Sounds about right. I'd use OEL's contract as a comparable, which is 8.25M cap hit, so I'd say at least 8.5M for Pietrangelo. In other words, 2M - 2.5M raise.
I’d rather not lose Pietro for Justin Faulk. There has to be another moving piece eventually. I’d imagine Schenn won’t be back after this season.
Would Blues fans be interested in moving Parayko in a Laine deal?
Completely understandI don't know about other Blues fans but that would be a hard pass from me.

This is what I was thinking too.Maybe they asked Pietrangelo about the cost of an extension and decided they couldn't afford it.
Wrong he can score pretty well on his own team tooAlthough I guess Laine couldn't light the Blues up anymore if he were on the team .
It just seems that with Tarasenko, Laine would be a luxury that I don't think would be worth the hit we'd take to our D. Armstrong has built the Blues through the D ranks and I think the latest Faulk deal is meant to double down on that approach. Moving Parayko would be a big step backwards in that regard.
I know I'm picking off your post but the term and the AAV are so heavy. Not sure if any GM would trade for it before Pietrangelo's new contract is due. Otherwise, yeah, the contract has no NTC so it's an obvious expose to the expansion draft.I think Faulk is mainly brought in to try and help the powerplay.
It's like former Jets defence.
Faulk = Byfuglien (1st PP QB)
Pietro = Trouba (Shutdown 1st D)
Parayko = Myers
Better than Jets trio ever was.
