I truthfully don't think Roslovic is a better Center than Hayes is, no reason to sign him. Super no reason to sign Rakell, too much term and we have way too much youth that should be fighting for those wing positions this year and next.
It would be ideal however to find a very short term center that could potentially play 2C in the event that one of our young guys does not push for a spot out of camp there.
Also, there's no reason Perunovich himself should expect to ask for a 3x3. Injury concerns alone are going to make it hard for him to expect much term. I'd bet he'll get about a year at around 1m, i wouldn't be terribly surprised if the Blues didn't qualify him though if they can't move on from Krug and can find a way to bring in a younger defenseman that has much more ability on the defensive end.
