So 9.36M is a sweet spot if you want to try to steal an elite player. 1st, 2nd, 3rd is not that much to give if you can get a sure fire top player. I hope we can lock Bouch up quick, because I don't see much issue going into that 9.3-11.7M range either if you think you can steal Bouch from us. If we let Bouch get to the summer, he probably has a stack of offers to look at.


Side note, the St Louis Blues replied to this article on twitter with this image which was pretty funny:
