Not only was St. Louis Blues defenseman Alex Pietrangelo instrumental in the team’s Stanley Cup run, but he was also a key part in establishing what is now considered one of the best blue lines in the league.
Both Pietrangelo and Brayden Schenn will be free agents after the 2019-20 season, and both are due for a significant raise in salary.
The conversation regarding these negotiations tends to be centered around keeping one or the other. If this is the case, the Blues need to do everything they can to lock up Pietrangelo, and it’s not even close.
