Looks like Vesey signed with NYR. At least that keeps him out of the Central Division.
Another Doug Armstrong FAIL! It doesn't sound like the Blues pushed hard for a low risk-extremely high reward. A position we could use and depth we need. There' really no reason why the Blues shouldn't have made a serious, strong attempt at signing him. In fact it looks like our neighbors up north, CHI Black Hawks were one of the teams on his shortlist of his final decision.
It's not a failure that the Blues didn't sign a free agent, there's always lots out there and they have 30 options. The failure is that the Blues/DA didn't push harder to secure what appears to be an elite player who'd be able to help the team immediately and also is a low cost to the cap. In fact, it looks like it could be a trend since the Blues didn't push hard for last years big prize, Artemi Panarin. Panarin AKA Kane2.0 is good friends with Tarasenko, who went to the Blues staff and told him how legit of a player he is. The fact the Blues weren't on Panarin's shortlist even with a chance to play with his good friend, Tarasenko shows that the Blues didn't aggressively push to sign these guys => that's a failure.
My god.....
If Panarin wanted to play with Tarasenko, then he would have accepted the Blues offer. He chose the Hawks because...well they are the Hawks. This isn't EA sports....all you can do is make an offer, and in these cases your limited as to what you can offer since they are ELC players.
