canuktravella Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 hutton, baertchi, horvat, mccann, virtanen, juolevi, shinkaruk could all be in lineup for same price as kesler all contributing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even close bud. backes plays tough at least, hits, and doesn't play like vrbata at all in the playoffs. Vrbata looks like he's made out of glass.

shazzam Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 This is a tough one. Blues have been great in the regular season for years but they have nothing to show for in the playoffs. Might be a good time for leadership change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRypien37 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I'd have a hard time giving him that amount to begin with. He is on pace for 44 points in a contract year and is trying to play hard ball? Plus add the fact he is a no show come playoffs. Crazy times in the NHL...

erkayloomeh Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 5.5 for 3 was fair. To heck with what kesler got. I'm sure there's a comparable out ther to Backes who is getting less. Why do gms sign these types of contacts (kesler) when they know darn well it will come back to bite the team in the ass. Upon Backes rejecting that offer I would have immediately put him on the block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Goblin Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 LOL! Watch him get injured and has to settle for less at FA. Or worse sign a 1 year "show me if you can still play" contract. He's a decent proven #1 centre on the Blues, but if he were on any other elite team, he would be #2 at best. If I we're St. Louis, I'd trade him for a 2016 1st+2nd round pick + picks/prospects +. Besides, they have rookie centre Robby Fabbri who has 11 goals compared to Backes' 12. Trade him while he's still worth something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
