I agree, but they have Ghost and Provorov on the LHD, whos their top RHD? Shattenkirk could be a fit

What do you mean by "staying"? Most of us are 99% sure he won't be a Blues past 16-17.

Right, so this thread is about where we think he will sign and where is the best fit. Not to correct my grammar in the OP.

It's not even hinting. We know he didn't want to sign in Edmonton, but we also know there are teams in the West that he would sign with.

Where's this hinting that Shattenkiek would only sign with a Northeast team coming from? He has suggested that he would like to sign with the Rangers growing up a Rangers fan and all, But there hasn't been any other suggestion that he would sign with another Northeast team. I bet if Detroit traded for Shatty i'm more then sure that he would resign there.

Hasn't his agent stated Kevin wants to sign in the Northeast? If he was going to sign with Detroit, he might as well just resign with St. Louis

You'll have to show me the source where Shattenkirk's agent said that he wants to sign in the Northeast, Because i haven't seen it any where's. There's been some speculation of him wanting to possibly sign with the Rangers because he grew up a Ranger's fan. But that means nothing right now. Pretty sure all the Leaf fans thought it was a forgone conclusion that Stamkos would sign in Toronto. As of now we don't know what Shattenkirk wants. Rangers are treading down Boston isn't much better Islanders really don't need him not sure why he would want to go to New Jersey and i don't see him in Philly. So really what else is there. And he's not going to resign back with St Louis if they can't afford to resign him for what he's going to want on the open market.

We should be all in for him (NYR). I'm thinking Gorton's conservative style this offseason is for retooling and be ready to make a big offer for him next summer. And I'd happy with it, we need a decent puck mover on the right side more than anything, and he's among the best and a Rangers fan so we can't lose this opportunity.
He'll be 28 so something around 8 years, 6.5 millions would be a good fit for both sides.

I really don't know right now? If i was to venture a guess i say before all is said and done that Shattenkirk winds up in Boston for who i don't now yet. I think he will get close to 7 x 7 most Blues fans say that he wants the Pietrangelo deal so that would be 7 x 6.5 in which is a really fair offer for Shatty.

No, he has not said anything like that. You're taking speculation and painting it as fact.

I'd love him in TO, but the minute we sign him to this....he becomes Phaneuf 2.0.

UFA's are always overpaid, so I'd say some team will end up paying him at least 7 million a year. I wouldnt be that disappointed if the Blues traded him now for a couple high draft picks.
Trade Shattenkirk for a 1st + 2nd round pick or something similar.
Sign a good rental left-handed d-man with the extra cap space to play on either the 1st or 2nd pair.
The Blues can afford to lose Shattenkirk and get some value out of him now since they're stacked with RH d-men. Petro, Shattenkirk, Parayko are in a log jam. Shatty is the odd man out.

So if New Jersey offered a 2017 1st (lottery protected) + Blandisi/2018 2nd round pick, would that be something of interest? Blandisi would fit right in the top 9 on the Blues.

Blandisi likely wouldn't fit in the top 9, he'd be with Jaskin and Rattie fighting for minutes. Army likely wouldn't settle for a deal like that.
And who exactly do you propose, because that's much easier said than done? Guys you're describing aren't just sitting in free agency hoping for their phone to ring.

1) Plays defense
2) Shoots right
3) Brings a lot of offense
I'm not his biggest fan but dude is going to get paid. 7*7 at least.

I feel like he could easily beat both of those guys out. But actually yeah you're right he might not fit in the top 9

Yeah I think 7 X 7 is fair for KS.
But if it's only gonna take 7 X 6.5 then that's even better!!
