Stephen Whyno: “I’m sure I’m not the only person thinking this, but #StLBlues COULD sign Alex Pietrangelo, go over $81.5M salary cap by up to 10% and kick can down road whenever next season starts by putting Vladimir Tarasenko on LTIR.”
Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic: Source saying the St. Louis Blues and pending UFA Alex Pietrangelo have had some contract extension talks. Believe that it’s 50-50 that he re-signs. The Jake Allen trade to the Montreal Canadiens freed up a little more salary cap space.
