Remaining FA D- Men
Since Army insists he's still looking for a top 4 D-man and the names are coming off the broad quickly...here's a glance at what is available out there...
Ryan Suter - Too, Too, expensive
Dennis Wideman - Says he wants to stay in Washington - hearing his name a lot in Detroit
Jason Garrison - Interesting name, seems the lack of available names in free agency will over-price him.
Matt Carle - Said to be staying in Philly
The rest: Michal Rozsival, Bryan Allen, Shane O’Brien, Hal Gill, Jaroslav Spacek, Sami Salo and Bryce Salvador.
I know there has been a lot of talk about Salvador (at least among fans) but I question how much he has left as a top 4 D-man night in and out.

Re: Remaining FA D- Men
I think Garrison gets a 3 year deal for 4-5 per, I think Wideman gets 5, I think Suter gets 6 for something crazy like 8 years.

Re: Remaining FA D- Men
Salvador was playing his best hockey in the playoffs, not the regular season.
As such I'm confused by your "not much left in the tank" comment. I'd pick Salvador first, probably also because he'd be the cheapest.
Suter is no way. Let somebody else overpay.
Salo is intriguing. But again: what is the market going to say he's worth? And that's really the moral of the story for all these guys and free agency in general. If there weren't increased prices, players wouldn't elect to try it out.
I'm hesitant. I like a lot of those names but not necessarily with the price tag that would go with them and ESPECIALLY if it's a long term deal.

Re: Remaining FA D- Men
He's 5 years older then Jackman....that's what I mean by 'not much left in the tank'. I seriously question how much longer he can be an effective player for an entire season.WaukeeBlues wrote:As such I'm confused by your "not much left in the tank" comment.

I'd like to see Wideman here, if only to stop Detroit from getting him.

Re: Remaining FA D- Men
Don't forget Justin Schultz. I really hope we make a play for him, although I don't see him picking St. Louis over all of the other teams offering him a deal. His contract is already basically set in stone as he would be a rookie, so there will not be a bidding war.

Re: Remaining FA D- Men
Sounds like the Souray in the STL talks are picking up some traction (more then just Strickland's tweet).
Considering how high the costs are jumping for these D-man.....he may be one of the more reasonable options and he's got that left handed shot they are looking for.

And it's a cannon. Regardless of the baggage and his up's and down's the last few years, he's a guy that's scored 20 goals multiple times. If he could give the Blues even half of that, I'd take it.DaDitka wrote:Sounds like the Souray in the STL talks are picking up some traction (more then just Strickland's tweet).

Re: Remaining FA D- Men
I agree I think he would be a good here for a few years(3) I also would like us to make a bid for Penner he wont be dirt cheap(ask for 5 but with his wrist injury say he goes for 4.5), but I think they would work better than Arnott and Colaiacovo.dmiles2186 wrote:And it's a cannon.

Re: Remaining FA D- Men
I was just thinking the other day...Paul Kariya's contact with the Blues was 3 year, 6 mil per. PAUL KARIYA. One of the best players of his generation but he didn't live up to the deal. And Wideman gets a shade under that. Gimmeabreak.ViPeRx007 wrote:theohall wrote:Wideman signed with the Flames.
