Jay Bouwmeester extended 5 years

[Corn Flake]

5 years $27 mil.. Taking a $1.2 mil per season pay cut to stay with the Blues.

Nice deal.

Bouwmeester - Pietrangelo is gonna be a hell of a defense pairing.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Man would he have looked great on our blue line.

Man would he have looked great on our blue line.

Agreed...especially at that number.

 

[Kin]

He's kind of evolved into the perfect #2 defenseman. Good enough at everything to be used in all situations but not good enough at anything to get paid like a #1.

Now will Phaneuf take a pay cut?

 

[Peter D.]

Always expected him to put up higher offensive numbers (even when he was putting 40+ in Florida), but he's as steady as they come. 

 

[Jalili]

Bouwmeester - Pietrangelo
Jackman - Shattenkirk
Leopold - Polak

That's gotta be up there as one of the top Defense groups 1 through 6.

I think him and Bret Hedican are now exhibits A and B as to how brilliant skating doesn't equal great offense from the blue line.
