The St. Louis Blues and Doug Armstrong get plenty of criticism from us fans for some of the contracts he gives out. The one recently signed by David Perron is no different.
While Perron has plenty of fans, there were plenty that were either surprised or semi-disappointed the team brought him back. It was not so much because of the player, but more the terms he was signed to. A four-year deal at $4 million per season just seemed excessive at the time.
However, as we are learning, Armstrong has a better feel for the market than we give him credit for.
