General Manager Doug Armstrong revealed today that the St. Louis Blues are holding on to their most dominating presence from last season. Amidst all of the talk of former Stanley Cup champion Milan Lucic getting a Professional Tryout, Nathan Walker will be back wearing the Blue Note for the next two seasons.
The deal comes with an AAV of $887,500 over the next two years. Last season, he led the Blues with 281 hits during the regular season, as well as scoring eight goals and eight assists for 16 points. All of those numbers were career-high or tied with it.
