I don't agree. The Blues rustled up a LOT of energy and determination to dominate the game, so their weakness last night with Pietrangelo out wouldn't be so exposed. But playing at that level of adrenalin-pushed intensity is something a team can do for one game, or a few straight games; but it's not really sustainable for an entire season or an entire playoff run. With Pietrangelo gone, the shaky Faulk and Scandella would also be needed to play a much more prominent role along with Parayko. The defence will be significantly weaker with Pietrangelo gone. I'll be surprised if he actually leaves. I just hope he'll give a reasonable home town discount to stay.
I understand what you're saying but minus the hometown discount, what is army willing to spend? This is Petros big contract, do we go the way of Chicago and LA giving out contracts that bite your nose off to spite your face. Everything I've seen in the past few years makes me think hes not going to get that 11mill a year contract that another team might be willing to offer.
I think that Petro's in his comfort zone here. It took him a while to adjust to the pressure of being named captain. If he goes somewhere else for mega-bucks, it'll be a whole lot more pressure that he ain't used to dealing with. I think that both sides will find common ground.

I hope your right ,but on the off chance that that's not the case I'm ok with what we have. Not to mention Mikkola is from everything we've seen ready to step in and play an nhl caliber game.

All Petro has to do, is to ask Backes how green that grass is on the other side.

Is Anaheim gonna make the dance, lol. We should thank David for chasing the coin, if he didn't we probably don't raise the cup.

I agree that The Blues won't pay him over $9.7 or 9.8 Million per year. I think Pietrangelo will want to stay in St. Louis, and give up$1 million to $1.5 million per year to stay and try for winning The Cup 3-4 more times, and have his wife happy, the2 parties will both compromise to keep him in St. Louis on a deal that won't cripple The Blues late in his career.

I also hope it's closer to $9.0. I just meant that $9.8 is about as high as Army will go.
