Connor McDavid just made the Blues’ Western climb even steeper

The hockey world was shocked on Monday afternoon when the best player of this generation signed a two-year extension with the Edmonton Oilers for a very hefty pay cut of $12.5 million AAV. Connor McDavid will continue to terrorize every team in the Western Conference, including the St. Louis Blues, for at least the next three seasons.

With that news, the Blues' chances of making it past their Central Division rivals remain the same. But if they have hopes and dreams of making it even further than that, and get a glimpse at the Stanley Cup, they now have to fight through a new-look Edmonton team.
