John Gove: Blues Sign Brandon Saad to Five-Year Deal

Saad for five years why?

Because army said so.

WOW!!! That's a way better deal than Schwartz at 5 x $5.5.
I was worried Army we get Saad at 5 x $5.5 or greater which would be a gross overpay. Two extra years to bring down the aav, works for me.

A Blues type of player in the heavier style. Worst is if he degrades too quick he'll be a high cost third or fourth liner which would not be bad. I'd expect the cap becones unflattened after this season and one more at most barring no more fan shut downs or lockouts.

Too many teams close to the cap and that means the big markets will push for a cap increase sooner than later. Especially with all the surplus cash.

My only comment, how the hell did the Avs not sign him for this type of deal? Good for St. Louis.
