No shot cbj does that. Tage hasn’t proven anything at the nhl level.

The Blues have no use for Risto. Parayko and Faulk already eat nearly 50 RD minutes per game. And honestly, Chief would probably strangle him within a week.

I'm not sure if Dahlin wants to go long term considering he's coming off a down year. He probably will sign a 2-3 year deal to prove he's worth top 5 D-man money.
