Confirmed Signing with Link: [STL] Robert Thomas re-signs with the Blues (2 years, $2.8M AAV)

[Cenzo_]

You assume Thomas would have even signed the offer sheet? Pretty sure he had no interest leaving St. Louis and was confident a fresh would get done. KK signed the sheet because he wanted out.

Yes I am sure Thomas would have said no to $6M to go to a contender when he can have $2.8M.

Pretty sure deep down KK was hoping the Habs would match

why would MTL be considered a contender and STL not?

and from what I've read, it's fairly common for players to turn down offer sheets

Never mentioned that MTL is a contender or that STL isn't. I said that Carolina is a contender.

Yes it's is fairly common for players to turn down offersheets, but probably very rare when the salary offered is 2x to 3x what the real players value is.

Maybe hell's even go platinum.

He's not going platinum this season. This is the year he goes to plaid.

Probably puts up 40 points no problem. Great contract.

At the end of this one he'll be demanding big bucks. Really nice player.

I hope so. Dude was way better than almost anybody recognized before he injured his wrist. If he just returns to 50-60 point pace/territory, that's still a steal at this value. If he takes the next step, wowzers.

The blues and canes have a good relationship, and have done a trade recently. You take that into consideration when offer sheeting.

And he's not Finnish, so wouldn't have fit on Canes.
