Makes up for the bargain contract he signed before.

FYI everyone the answer is Jumbo Joe "Civil War Veteran" Thornton who is currently unsigned.

The oldest signed player is phantom Blues alumni Craig Anderson at 41.

Truly amazed that even though his career was over about 5 years ago he's still finding work.

Longevity is a really funny thing. It's fascinating to see who lasts longest. Not just in sports but life in general.

Blues should be scouting Russia hard. There could be a lot of sleepers coming through there in the next few years and we have had a pretty good deal of success with them.

Vegas used up all their karma with the hockey gods their first two seasons.

Yeah, I think that franchise is in for a rough go of it for a few years. Hope Petro enjoys himself.

As for Nolan, he’s out of contract after this season and likely will retire at 24 years old due to concussions

The NHL is debuting digitally enhanced dasherboards (DED) for all games this season that will "erase and replace" the advertising found on arena rink boards with virtual ads on broadcasts.

The DED system allows for the digital replacement of camera-visible arena dasherboards within local, national and international NHL game broadcasts. While overlaying other advertisements on the boards will be its primary function, the DED system eventually will allow broadcasts to use the boards for everything from in-game stats to special effects for goal celebrations. ...

Honestly if they're not a contender this year they're screwed for the near future. Father Time is really not on their side, and it might be too late for them already. If Stone isn't back to 100% and Petro isn't a top 5-10 D they're in for a rough year.
