Great value signing - if he can stay healthy. And if his injuries haven’t stunted the growth of what should have be an established Top-6 NHL winger by now.
He’ll get a chance, maybe not in the Top-6 right away, but at least on the 3rd line. I don’t see him sticking in St. Louis beyond this year. It’s moot if he can’t stay healthy but if he shows glimmers of his skill from 3 or 4 years ago then he could be affordable trade bait early in the season to shore up Blues needs in other areas.

Yeah its funny he even took a pay cut of like 20K or so . Blues many might forget were nearly in playoffs only to get eliminated by guy who should have won MVP that year... Either way I hope this guy can get himself on track... I think they had a player injured like 2 years ago, maybe he was on defense, can't remember name. Its a shame how certain people are just injury prone or unable to play effectively injured... While others seem to never get hurt even when it looks like they should . Even if he can show some flashes its an easy contract to trade for something ...
