JT Kreider
FIRE GORDIE CLARK
He had a pretty brutal first year in St. Louis with only 5 goals and 16 points, had the lowest TOI of his career behind Parayko and Pietrangelo and now his $6.5 million contract is clogging their cap space and could be the difference between being able to afford to extend Petro or not.
Unless they traded and extended Faulk knowing Pietrangelo is a goner.
I really don't think Faulk's game was the best fit for the Blues to begin with. And they have Perunovich on the way coming off his Hobey Baker and he seems to be more of an offensive defenseman as well.
Seems like a really puzzling trade, unless again the plan is to let Petro walk. And if they chose Faulk over Petro...yikes.
