The Blues have a few options on defense for next season. Despite the loss of Alex Pietrangelo in free agency, they’re extraordinarily deep on defense. Torey Krug, Colton Parayko, Justin Faulk, Marco Sandella, Vince Dunn, and Carl Gunnarsson are a top six that many teams would be thankful to have.
None of these players are of Pietrangelo’s caliber, but their combined skillset is probably enough to get the Blues over the hump. Before anyone says anything about Faulk, I’m assuming that he has a better season next year.
