Blues will be without Barbashev for one or two round robin games and the start of the first round of the playoffs as he will be flying from Edmonton back to St. Louis to be with his wife for the birth of their child: https://www.stltoday.com/sports/hoc...tent=f9eaa91236962cd453f6cc587e8ba41779510bf9
St. Louis Blues 2019-2020 Season
Torey Krug to the Blues. 7 years with an AAV of $6.5 million.
And this signing ends Petro's time in St. Louis. Probably about $2 million less than Petro was going to ask for. Blues and Petro were in a tough spot. While they would have loved to bring him back, they couldn't just wait around while he made a decision if he wanted to come back to St. Louis. Sounds like Vegas is the front runner to sign Petro.
The signing does give the Blues a bit more maneuvarability with the cap to re-sign Vince Dunn, who is a restricted free agent. They now only have to move around $2 million as opposed to the $4 or 5 million if Pietrangelo had re-signed.

Petro to Vegas. 7 years, $61.6 million.
Was listening to KMOX on the way home and they said the Blues final offer to Petro was 8 years, 64 million without a no movement clause. Contracts without no movement clauses have been a part of Armstrong's contracts with players since he became GM.
