Pretty reasonable cost and target. Only concern is what kind of a contract has he earned at this point.

He seems like a pretty good target to bridge a gap and possibly be a long term solution. We’re just fairly cap strapped (I don’t think he’ll reach the amount where we can’t afford it) but it certainly limits our ability to address our needs on LD

So, let me see if I read this correct he pays a 1-5 for Jeannot to accept 2 3's for a better player In Colton and this makes sense to you? Colton Who has proven to be a really good playoff performer? Really?

Colton has earned more than his current $1.25M. He has arbitration rights so he will likely want as much as he can get. He's the better player but he's still a free agent. 2 thirds is a good deal for a 3rd line forward. SO yeah, you get what you can. Especially since they've committed over $19M in extensions that will kick in next season.

That's utterly foolish Colton has put up 1.14 goals per 60 playing over the last 2 seasons with 3/4 liners and 2ns PP compared to say John Tavares during the same time who plays 2nd line top PP with top 6 wingers i.12 goals per 60 but sure give him away for nothing DUMB you absolutely keep him if you can't get WFM for him

Value-wise, the Blues would jump all over that. It really just depends on how much Colton wants to sign.
