Uh, is there a different thread I'm missing?

It's a very good price for a guy was damn solid getting 21 minutes a game last year. He is most likely sloting in right next to Pietrangelo again, and the Blues will have cap to give him a longer term bigger contract next year if he keeps performing.

He'll still be an RFA after this season, at which point we'll give him a real contract. Bouwmeester and Gunnarsson will off the books then.

At this point Bouwmeester is our 5.4 million dollar 3rd pairing d-man and gunnar is our 2.9 million 7th d-man.

Unless they bench Bortuzzo and switch Bouwmeester to the right side...then Gunnar has a spot.

Was hoping for a long term deal for Edmundson, but as long as the Blues sign him long term eventually then I guess this is a good deal. Glad we will get to retain Schmaltz as well.

Underrated defensive rock for the Blues.

Good bridge deal for both sides. Still an RFA after this year.

He's rounding into a very solid top 4 defenseman. Great complement on the left side to Petro and Parayko.

I fully expect another thread announcing a long term extension after the first of the year. Waiting for JBo and Gunnar to fall off of the cap.

An organization waiting for 8.3 million in cap to come off the books when Jay Bouwmeester and Carl Gunnarson come off the books this summer?

He's still an RFA this next off-season and it gives them a year to work out a long term extension - my guess is they were pretty far apart on money - this allows them to remain on good terms negotiating said long term contract.

Plus, as good as Edmundson was in the playoffs before, he had an up and down 17-18 season. He's in their long-term plans, but a prove-it bridge deal is good for both the team and the player.

I can't believe you'd go out, make an ignorant troll post about the Blues being a mickey mouse organization and come back with an ignorant reply like this when I took the time to explain the why to you, when I assumed you had no idea or inclination to look up the facts for yourself...

Hate the fact that we couldn't go long term because Maroon cost us the cap space we would have used. Edmundson is very good, and very under-rated. He'll have the option next year to elect salary arbitration and hit UFA in 3 years at 28. Or if he puts up a career year getting first pairing minutes, he will cost us considerably more to sign longer-term next year.

He's a Jets fan. Jets just let Trouba go to arbitration for a 1-year deal. He was insulting his team, not ours.

Damn, you're doubledowning on this really hard.

Take a deep breath and read the post again.
