How well have these signings held up?

Milan Lucic - 7 years, $42M
Kyle Okposo - 7 years, $42M
Andrew Ladd - 7 years, $38.5M
Loui Eriksson - 6 years, $36M
Frans Nielsen - 6 years, $31.5M
David Backes - 5 years, $30M
Darren Helm: - 5 years, $19.25M
James Reimer - 5 years, $17M
Troy Brouwer - 4 years, $18M

I remember when Blues fans thought the world was ending because we lost BOTH Backes and Brouwer that Summer!

Haha what a dumb summer. Always nice to be able to laugh at those deals instead of lamenting them. The first day of free agency is almost always big trouble.

Was bad and bad isn't the word. Pathetic? Putrid?

Army really has a knack for staying disciplined during the FA period. He made a splash with Krug but that was to fill a need with a guy leaving and with money he was already prepared to spend.

This is amazing. Thank you for posting it.

Truly a summer where teams had money to spend and the talent wasn't there but they didn't care.
