Tak
Colaiacovo podpísaný na 2 roky...
"The Blues are keeping at least one of their unrestricted free-agent defensemen, re-signing Carlo Colaiacovo to a two-year, $4.25 million contract extension."
- s našou obranou to teda teraz vyzerá takto :
Carlo Colaiacovo, Erik Johnson, Eric Brewer, Barret Jackman, Roman Polak, Alex Pietrangelo, Strachan a
Ian Cole spolu s Ruským obráncom
Nikitom Nikitinom, ktorí zrejme odohrajú väčšinu času na farme
- ďalší obránca
Weaver ešte prostredníctvom agenta rokuje o novej zmluve, žiada predlženie o ďalšie tri sezóny, zatiaľ čo vedenie Blues ponúka 2r. kontrakt, uvidíme či sa dohodnú. Predpokladám, že s ním už vedenie nepodpíše, nakoľko sa vytvára priestor pre Pietrangela a ešte je v zálohe Strachan, Cole a Nikitin.

Cam Janssen požiadal o arbitráž...
"Janssen filed for arbitration Monday after trying to work out a contract extension. Scott Norton, the agent for the Blues enforcer, said he still hopes to negotiate a multi-year deal even though the team made a one-year offer to the Eureka native."
- uvidíme ako to nakoniec dopadne s Halákom :
"In a somewhat surprising move, Halak likewise did not opt for arbitration despite coming off his best season in the NHL. The Blues goaltender, acquired June 17 from Montreal in a trade for forward prospect Lars Eller, was 26-13-5 with a 2.40 goals-against average and a .924 save percentage in the regular season. He had the fourth-best save percentage (.924) in the playoffs.
Halak, 25, made $775,000 last season with the Canadiens.
On June 23, the Blues made the goalie a qualifying offer of $813,750, which is figured by adding a 5 percent raise to last season's salary. By making a qualifying offer, the Blues retained Halak's rights, allowing them to continue negotiations.
Blues general manager Doug Armstrong and Halak's Los Angeles-based agent, Allan Walsh, were scheduled to talk last week in LA while the team was in town for the NHL draft, but it has not been confirmed whether those negotiations took place.
A source said Monday that Halak didn't file for arbitration because his camp wants to negotiate with the Blues without any deadlines attached.
The Blues have the option of club-elected salary arbitration with Halak. The deadline to file is today at 4 p.m.."
O Jarovej zmluve sa teda nerozhodne na arbitráži, pretože sa obe strany dohodli na tom, že si nechajú dostatočný priestor na rokovanie o budúcej spolupráci, či je jasným signálom, že Jaro bude u nás na 100% a ide iba o to, akú zmluvu podpíše.
Predpokladám, že nastanú určité zmeny... naša obrana, bola ale v tejto sezóne, na rozdiel od útočníkov celkom v pohode a patrila k najlepším. Dúfam teda, že to v tejto sezóne bude ešte výraznejšie a s Halákom v bráne, budeme dostávať málo gólov. Len kto ich za nás bude dávať..? 
Aj preto som bral príchod nejakého zvučného strelca, ako samozrejmosť...
), či tak často spomínaný Stempniak (ten hráva ale pravé krídlo a to nepotrebujeme)
