[Captain Mountain]

That's a lot of money for his 30 to 35 seasons, but he's a really good player.

 

[LGB]

Good deal

 

[TheYardMachine]

Wow! 8 millions sounds steep

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

As a fan of Buch that is too much

I get salaries go up but that is too much and given he is 29 that term and salary seems a bit questionable

 

[PAZ]

Fair deal. Feels like every retooling team got tired of retooling

 

[SI90]

I didn’t think STL would have to go more than $7.5 but he’s a really good player and he would have likely gotten the same if not more as a UFA

 

[Face Of Bear]

wow thats Reinhart/Hedman money

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Holy shit

Salary is fine, term is entirely on how he ages. I still would've preferred to trade him, but compared to what the market did yesterday, I don't hate it.

 

[UrbanImpact]

Thats not even Darnell Nurse money. Good deal.

He would have been the #1 target for the Canucks at the trade deadline imo.

 

[SEALBound]

WOW...that is A LOT. Wow...

I have no idea what the Blues are really trying to do...

 

[Crow]

I would have expected about 7.5 so I don’t really think this is crazy or anything and it’s nice they didn’t sign him for more term.

 

[innitfam]

That's around 1M over what I thought it would come in at

 

[BleedBlue14]

I think if we went 8 we could've gotten him down to 7, but I think the shorter term with where we're at is a lot better of a deal. Happy with the signing

 

[Chojin]

Seems like a fair deal.

 

[Siignal]

There are a lot of teams committing to long-term mediocrity amidst a sea of rebuilding teams. Not the worst of the bunch but definitely an ehhhhhhh

 

[Pizza!Pizza!]

He's one of the best players on the Blues, but $8M?

 

[Bronson]

That's a lot of money for his 30 to 35 seasons, but he's a really good player.

Lol exact wording of what I thought when I saw it.

 

[Oneiro]

Smart player. Could see him being good the entire time.

 

[bleedblue1223]

He's one of the best players on the Blues, but $8M?

78 point pace in his time here, and 2-way play. He's earned the salary, question is how he ages compared to the term.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

WOW!!!!

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

I'd kill to have him back on the Rangers.
Insanely good player whose also very good 2-ways

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

As a Robert Thomas keeper league owner, I approve of this tremendously.

 

[RedHawkDown]

great player but that is a bit much imo
