I think the way it worked in the past for guys in Perunovich's situation was that if they hadn't signed with the team that drafted them by August 15, they became UFAs (Think Jimmy Vescey spurning Nashville for NYR). Obviously that is complicated by the fact that nobody knows if they'll be playing "this" season in August or at any point. I think that Tim is right in that if the season does continue, and Perunovich signs while the Blues are still alive, a year burns up immediately. Schwartz is the most prominent instance of that case in my memory.
I don't care about the mechanics, I just want him signed and in the organization. Deal with the rest later.
...but whatever, the Blues won the Cup!!!!!
