We thought the St. Louis Blues had to wait a long time for Pat Maroon‘s decision the first time. In 2018, it took until July 10 for pen to be put to paper. Now, we are at July 19 without so much as a rumor of an offer and the days keep counting.
As time keeps slipping into the future, it seemed as though things were looking as though they would be in the Blues favor. Each day that passes solidifies other team’s rosters and teams are less likely to hand out lengthy, expensive contracts further into the summer.
