Why On Earth Did DA Sign 30 Y/O Buchnevich To 6 Years??
He has 5 years left at 8mil, with a NTC the whole time I believe, and the contract runs 30-36 years old. Genuinely by far the worst contract I’ve seen DA sign in his whole tenure with the Blues and I’m just shocked.
He’s been remarkable in contracts and managing this team but this feels like it will really handicap the team and GM Steen going forward.
With the team having to promote Carboneau & Stenberg soon, + needing to make upgrades this offseason whether it’s draft/free/agency/trade, this Buch contract just feels like an anchor. Hopefully the team can turn it around and Steen can work some magic but I’d be lying if I said I’m not very concerned.

40th Anniversary of the Monday Night Miracle
On this evening way back in 1986, I took a young lass with me to a St. Louis Blue's hockey game... the 6th game in the Stanley Cup semi-finals playoff series,,, and this was a "must win" game, as our beloved Blues were down 3 games to 2 to the Calgary Flames.
As we walked down the hill from Steak 'n Shake on Hampton (were we'd park, so I'd have a place to soothe my sour throat after all the hollering), I told her if we win this game, I'd let her have the honor of being my woman (romantic, 'eh?).
Well, the future looked fairly bleak for this young gal to have the privilege of having my last name attached to her's... as the Blues trailed the Calgary Flames at one time by 4-1, and then later by a score of 5-2,,, the latter with less than 12 minutes left in the game.
However, her prayers were answered, as these misfits stormed back, actually scored three goals in those fast fleeting minutes to tie the game (one by Brian Sutter and two by Greg Paslawski, two goals!), to force overtime, and then they won on Doug Wickenheiser's amazing goal in OT.
So, this poor girl... well, her fate and her future, it was sealed.
All because of a hockey game.
And now, today, these many many years later, she gets to celebrate Mother's Day having two spectacular sons.
Yes, she's a Blues fan…. Still!
Future Blues game broadcasts
Does anyone have any updates on who will be broadcasting Blues games in the future? I haven't seen anything, but then I haven't been following it that closely, either. Are we still in wait-and-see mode?
