The catch 22 with Maroon is that his style of play is much more suited for the playoffs than for the regular season. I think the Blues feel they saw enough toughness out of some of the younger, faster and more skilled players on the roster. He became expendable. Hard to argue the point, when you remove emotion, from the equation.
I still hope they find a way to sign him. I'm just not optimistic they will. And if he goes elsewhere, I hope he succeeds, until he meets up with the Blues. At which time, I hope he gets his head knocked-off...
