It's a strange thing winning a Cup. Visions get blurred, minds get bent....and apparently Allen gets yet another chance with the fans and DA is more than happy for his boy to oblige.

Chicago, Dallas, Avs, Wild and the Turds all making moves to get better. The Central will be brutal.

The Blues remain intact. The contracts are all there. They were no doubt special to win that Cup and now we are all about to find out just how special they can be. In hockey, 2 in a row is a dynasty by itself.

Moving Petro now would be the biggest thrown bombshell in this franchises history. I'm pretty sure Army is trying to extend him. The guy resurrected himself from his worst year ever with his play off performance. Doughty got 10/7, Karlsson got 11/8....that's what the Blues are staring at without injury or more bad play the coming year.

I would not do it. But this is DA's wheelhouse....it's the re signing of aging players that has been his worst enemy and the grandaddy of them all is coming up soon.
