4 mil would rank 25th in the league among goalies. Fine rate for a stop-gap guy, that’s only helping you get Ullmark (will be cheap the entire three years) get ready.
It's going to be 4 mil or more. - GilPerreault11
Yeah, I really don't understand why people think goalies are so cheap. To get a starter you need to spend $4M. You might get lucky for a year, maybe 2, or a guy on an ELC which is even more rare. Bottom line is you need to pay for a goalie, not 1c money, but you're not getting a good goalie for $2.5M.
...might be a little too early to dub him that, he isnt playing against NHLers atm. - Mentalorgasm5
There will be growing pains but he does look miles ahead. Him, Dahlin and oddly Pilut have looked great. Olofssons shot really is that good too, I hope he can find space on the smaller surface.

I was actually really pumped about the Pilut signing, so I am happy to hear this.

Stop with the conspiracies. I was surprised to see him last until 51. I thought he was gonna make a late push like Konecny and go in 18 to 23 range. - Mentalorgasm5

I think they traded back into the first last year to draft him, and ryan reeves was the player. Traded with Pit if I remember correctly. - Mentalorgasm5

Some information on Thomas and Kyrou ( I see “leadership “)
The 18-year-old center was drafted by St. Louis in the first round of the 2017 draft. Much like Kyrou, Thomas provides another offensive possibility at a time where the current roster is not seeing much scoring.
Both Thomas and Kyrou were named captains this season, something that Blues general manager Doug Armstrong sees as equally impressive as their statistics.
“So not only are these guys good players but they also are deemed to have great leadership by their junior teams,” Armstrong told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. “It just shows that the work that our amateur scouting staff is doing in their character checks is paying off.”
Thomas and Kyrou were teammates at this year’s WJC, where Thomas contributed to the gold medal team with a goal and five assists. While Kyrou boasts more goals, Thomas presents as more of a playmaker on the ice, as well as someone who contributes defensively. It will be interesting to see how the two mesh together and if they could potentially create a great scoring line in the NHL

Jordan Kyrou
There is a huge amount of hype around Jordan Kyrou, and he continues to earn it. Kyrou was drafted, as expected, early in the second round of the 2016 NHL Entry Draft by the Blues. He has shown that he can be a contribution to a successful offense in the OHL, something the Blues seem to have lost in the second half of the 2017-18 season.
At 19 years old, the right winger is currently sitting at 106 points in 54 games for the OHL’s Sarnia Sting, beating his record of 94 points in the previous season.
“I just go out there and play and try to help my team win, and whatever happens, happens,” he said when asked about reaching his 100-point mark.
He recently played for Team Canada in the World Junior Championship (WJC), where he recorded three goals and seven assists for Canada, along with bringing home a gold medal.
At 6 feet and 179 pounds, one of the biggest concerns during the draft was his ability to be strong on the puck and play the same seamless offense against high-caliber teams. With the Blues cooling off, excitement is building around Kyrou and the possibility of seeing his NHL debut next year. It will still be a question, though, whether he will have the same impact against NHL-level defensive units.

I'm being told that the reports of a trade being in place with any team on Ryan O'Reilly is "not accurate". Conversations continue to take place and multiple players have been discussed including Alex Nylander. However, "no framework has been agreed upon."
