Come on guys.....triplets are expensive! Shoot, now there is a fourth little mouth to feed. I’m sorry, but $64 million just wasn’t enough. Petro needed that extra million or two to make it all work!

Especially considering 64 million goes a lot further in STL than all of the bigger markets, he looks pretty dumb right about now.
Would be hilarious if Petro can't land a spot in Vegas and he comes back around to settle with Army for like 7x7.

I’m going to guess Petro has a bigger ego than we were all led to believe. He had term and doe, and even more equity here than Backes had. Ridiculous he even entertained the thought of not signing.

As the only Captain in history to lead a Blues team to a Cup, (So far), his jersey in the rafters, and a statue outside were a given. Might still happen, but far from certain now. Clearly he either ignored the present day financial situation, or woke up one morning and saw Bobby Orr in the mirror. Wrong.

Or he got bad advice from his agent, or he didn't prioritize returning to STL.

Good Lord, man! This troubles me greatly. For the record, I generally don’t like Will Ferrell movies, but loved Step Brothers.

Ok, a chance at redemption.........what about Office Space? If you tell me you didn’t like Office Space, I’m going put you on ignore! Uhhh, do we have ignore in this forum???

7 years at 6.5. He's older than you think, but there's your PP QB for the next few years. Army is a damn assassin.

Stunned too. I remember JR saying on the radio this afternoon he didn't think there was any validity to the Krug rumors, in case we are ever unsure if he has inside info

FACT: Jamie Benn never sat on Bobby Orr. But Gordie Howe did.

And O’Reilly. I’d say Binnington first, and then O’Reilly, mainly because ROR was injured and wasn’t great in the first two rounds as a result. People lose sight of the fact that Petro was pretty bad in the early part of the playoff run. I think that first game ass kicking in San Jose was the bottom, and then he played well after that. But yeah, I would tend to agree with your take that he didn’t “lead the Blues to the Cup”.
