Ya they don't HAVE to, but they will.
I cant see them having Petro at a big cap, Jbo at a big cap, Shattenkirk soon to get a giant raise and also Parayko getting a giant raise. I think it's pretty obvious they will use a dman in a blockbuster trade within the next year or 2. And if Parayko keeps getting better and better, that will definitely make one of Petro or Shattenkirk expendable. Which is a deadly situation for the Blues cause the return would be huge
Parayko getting a giant raise? Seriously? He's played 10 games. He's at least 3 seasons away from a big raise. Neither Pietrangelo or Shattenkirk is being made expendable by a rookie.
