[Report] St. Louis, Vancouver pass on Arnott

Allen stabilizes #stlblues...McDonald still not close...Arnott could sign as soon as Sunday or Monday truehockey.com/articles/Allen…

What a shame if true. Hope Gillis is actively pursuing a centre via trade

UPDATE: As per Brad Ziemer of the Vancouver Sun (on mobile so I can't post the tweet), Vancouver and St. Louis are passing on Arnott.

We desperately need a center right now, especially a big and physical one with veteran experience and as bad as Arnott may be - he fits that bill to a tee. The perfect replacement for Malhotra, essentially a better version of Manny. With our injuries right now:

Sedin - Sedin - Burrows

Raymond - Higgins - Hansen (Higgy is far better at center than Raymond)

Booth - Lapierre - Kassian

Weise - Arnott - Sestito/whoever they call up to replace him.

Schroeder's time here is done I'm afraid.

I could have seen Gillis signing this guy earlier in the season, not now though.

With Kesler out, this team needs to go all in for a legit 2nd/3rd line center. That's the one thing that's messing up our offense right now.

Still remember when i got into an arguement with DeNiro because he thought Arnott was "the perfect fit" for our 3rd line.

Kept telling me he still has it in him to score points.

This guy is the last guy we should be looking at. Old, can't skate, can't do anything efficiently except score tap ins or empty nets on the powerplay.

Even with the current questionable streak we're enjoying, this is actually good news to me.

Not a big fan of taking chances on old veterans. Rarely pays off. And at this rate, we won't be needing a Stanley Cup winning presence in the locker room for a deep run in the playoffs this year.

Sorry for momentarily loosing my faith. Restored now.
