Jeff Quirin: Blues, Oshie Avoid Arbitration --- Agree to 5 year, $20+ million Contract The St. Louis Blues have signed TJ Oshie to a 5 year contract worth just a hair over $20 million.

Glad they could work it out without going to a 3rd party. 4.2 per may seem high based on pure stats but given the roles Osh is expected and is able to play I have no issue with the term or price per year.

Per Strickland, the breakdown: $3.375, $4, $4.5, $4.5, $4.5

A fair deal, all things considered!

The NHL is heading down a dark path...

Like.

That's a sick deal for Oshie.

This.

player retention has been phenomenal for the blues over the past couple years. if only the ufa crop were as interested in being part of the franchise

I'm sure that plenty of UFAs did want to come to STL, but knowing that the owners are going to be clawing back revenue %'s, entry level years, & years before UFA was probably lingering in every player's/agent's mind heading into July 1. I'm ok with our blueline & Langenbrunner is as good of a 3rd line center as you'll find for that $.

I feel like this is a steal for the blues. T.J. is my favorite player to watch in the show and he's only going to get stronger. I was thinking the Blues were going to pay at least 5 mill per season for 5 years.
