The St. Louis Blues must have figured they had enough of just sitting around. Either that, or they wanted to give me something to actually write about. I’m sure that’s it.
Whatever the reason, Doug Armstrong was working the phones during this lull in the action and got a deal done. Sammy Blais will remain a member of the Blues until at least 2022.
The Blues signed the forward to a two-year extension. The entire deal is worth $3 million, with a cap hit of $1.5 million per season.
Interestingly, Armstrong was only involved in a minor way.
