After the Mason McTavish extension will the blues turn their attention to Jimmy Snuggerud’s? How much could he cost the St. Louis Blues—and should they lock him up now?
Donny Fandango, Alex Ferrario and Jeremy Rutherford examine possible term and salary, the rising NHL cap and whether a breakout season could push Snuggerud’s price tag soaring.
Plus, the crew goes inside the Blues’ draft room, revisits the Mason McTavish trade, discusses Keith Tkachuk’s front-office influence and debates who could wear the ‘C’ this season.

The deal was with New Jersey; it was 15 and 29 for 12 and 35. New Jersey ended up taking Alexander Command at 12 and moving 35 to Chicago for 37 and 119.
Would give Snuggerud 8 by 8 right now, and pray he takes it lol. Injuries and sophomore slumps happen all time, not saying that's likely with snuggy but can happen and getting 64 million guaranteed is hard to turn down possibly… Montreal has done this with all their stars, seen one good year and then gave them all 8 year deals and have like 5 of the 20 best contracts in nhl by taking small risk in signing them early.
Edit- Wyatt cullen was taken 10th overall alex, so not sure how there was argument and settling for Lawrence at 11, when cullen was already taken… Feltrin did like Lawrence.. And the Dagenais pick was based on his long runway and upside, belchetz is pretty physically maxed out already and doesn't have a longer runway.. You draft based on what they will be not on what they are currently.. Dagenais 6"4 himself, better skater, better shot, and actually plays physically.
If you pull in to a parking spot, you still have to back up when you leave, so it’s a wash.
I will always back in to a parking space, because I’m a firefighter and I have to or my OCD starts pinging.
Donnie, if you don't like people backing into parking spaces, don't come to Texas. You will see it everywhere including people's own driveways.
Buchnevich already cashed in.
Can we please quit referring to players as “a McTavish” “a Thomas” or “the Neighbours” “the Holloways”. It drives me crazy
I honestly think that they're going to go without a captain for this year to give everybody a chance to figure out who the captain needs to be within the core group.
Thanks, fellas! I can't wait!!!!! 🎶
Backing into a parking spot, that’s pipeline stuff. First move is always forward. Seems normal to me😂
Great Show Boyz! Thomas really stepped into a real leader role after Schenn was traded…….and he stepped up his game considerably. Look what is line did at the end of the year. Thomas has won a cup, he's the Blues Best Player, and he is the Blues NEXT CAPTAIN, if not at the start of the season, but mid season. Print that! I give Snuggy 7 years/$10m. If he scores 30+ he will be looking for $12M
