Shatty signs with Tampa. 1 year, 2.75M. This makes me even angrier about the trade with Tampa for him we had arranged that he nixed
Although the eventual trade for Shatty netted us Stanley Cup final hero Zach Sanford, so I guess I shouldn't be too mad
I don’t understand this anger directed towards a guy that wanted to test free agency and was able to call the shots according to the contract he signed with the Blues.
Just to be clear. I don't hate Shatty. I love the Blues. Me you and everybody else knew he was going to be traded. Him and his agent knew he was going to be traded. He could have done the Blues a solid and gone to Tampa where he would actually have a shot at the playoffs. But no, he wanted to play in New York. Good for him. NYR was on the way down. Hank was hurt more often. The Rangers are in rebuild mode. And now he's a buy out.
I'm way over it. I didn't like it at the time. Because the Blues won the Cup. Maybe if we got somebody from Tampa we don't trade for ROR. So.......
Good luck Shatty! You're going to a team that won the regular season running away. And then they got smoked. Shatty is exactly the guy they need to toughen up and get to the finals.
That was sarcasm. The guy they really need is Jed.
