I know I'm going to get some heat for this...Fine!

With Bortuzzo on IR, a grinder, and Maroon gone elsewhere, Backes brings a physical presence that is not necessarily needed, but would be helpful to St. Louis.

Boston has been looking to get 'Backs off the Books' for sometime.

Let me know your thoughts and opinions on this deal!

Thanks- Go B's!

I don't see why this is a good move for STL. Backes was good in his time in STL but he's nothing more than a 4th liner, plus at $6M. STL need to re-sign Schenn and Pietrangelo this summer and they have many options for their bottom-6.

I don't really care about Blais and this is perfect for BOS, especially if they don't have to pay anything to get rid of his contract. STL would never do that tho.

Thanks, 'bhavikp27'!

I tried to have Boston retain half of his deal, which would be 3M. I couldn't figure out how to, even though there's a clear 'Retained Salary box.'

If you could show me how with a reply, I'll make a "take 2" that would make more sense, because I couldn't agree more with your thoughts- who wants to pay 6M for a 4th liner?

Thanks!

Before I get any heat, please know that I tried to retain Backes salary for Boston to half his cash, 3M.

I already got feedback on this, so I know this doesn't make sense straight up. When I figure out how, this deal will make more sense.

Thanks!
