Weird feeling, just a weird feeling. I do really like Krug, but wish Petro signed somewhere first to let that sink in.

What the Blues gave up for Faulk was fine.
I still don’t think the Faulk contract was why Petro won’t come back. They could’ve made something work if there was a compromise. Clearly there wasn’t.

I'm not mad we signed Krug, he will be fine.
I still wanted to keep Petro, but I don't blame Krug. There goes the statue Petro could have had here

Pro sports is becoming predictable and boring
I'm kinda doubting that right now. It's basically Vegas bidding against themself, unless Colorado strolls on in.
they could still sign Pietrangelo, if Steen and Tarasenko are on LTIR. Then you really only need to trade Bozak before #91 is activated; assuming Steen doesn't ever come off of LTIR.

That wouldn't suck.

Perhaps, just perhaps, Petro didn't want to stay. It floors me how many people fail to take that into account.

And that is not DA or the Blues fault if that is the case. He had plenty of time to reflect on that being a possibility and apparently turned down 64million from us.
That is on 27, he is the one who agrees or disagrees with a deal.

I like the signing, Blues couldn't go into next season without Pie and no replacement. Before Krug signed elsewhere something had to be done.
I don't like seven years for a player like Krug, but it's the market. AAV is fine. He's a very good player in the right role. We'll see if we use him correctly.
Highlights the Faulk contract...
Difficult to be happy about it when it's a massive downgrade to our defense.

f*** Doug Armstrong. Like seriously f*** this guy. We let a guy who deserves a statue in front of the arena walk over 2 million dollars. Petty shit.

I'd be stunned if they still sign 27.
If that happens, Faulk or Dunn, possibly both get moved 100% before Bozak does.

Remember when the Blues signed Bozak and ROR trade came out of left field?
Not saying that will happen, but crazier stuff has happened.

Good. I'm fine with swapping Dunn for Krug and giving Faulk the Tyler Johnson treatment (it ain't my money).

Take note of his next tweet as well.
Here’s his career arc, he’s been relatively steady for a few seasons. Which is miles better than Faulks significant regression. But he’s 30 and plays a game that relies a lot on raw talent.

What was the final cost? I can't find it anywhere.
We let a top 5 defensman go for a powerplay specialist. I’m glad you’re happy about it.

Remember when Pujols left because he got a bigger pay day elsewhere?
If that happens, I don’t know what more could be expected from Armstrong.
Most reporters are saying Petro's intention was was to wait out offers and see where he wanted to land. There was no deal in place, and LeBrun speculates the Blues taking themselves out on the market most likely caught him off guard.
