I've accepted your direction and read your description. I guess to start, I fundamentally disagree with your opinion. The Blues have not made anything clear by not yet extending their Captain. As has been reported by multiple outlets, Blues GM and Pietrangelo's reps have already met twice this season. I would say if anything, their intention has been made clear they would like to at least make a valiant attempt to sign him. The Blues want to give Pietrangelo OEL type money, and now with Roman Josi's extremely recent contract extension, there is another solid comp that could get an extension done for under $10 million. If the Blues weren't having a great season (not that it matters really considering where they were at this point last season), I would say perhaps they would look to get rid of him, but they are a legitimate contender for the Cup, so why trade their #1 defender? Since your overall logic does not make sense, I will not comment on this deal.
