Lost a little step last year, but probably still a decent 4th liner. Maybe 3rd in a pinch. Could do worse, and at 900k, why not

Gonna miss him in St. Louis, but we have several young guys that need a spot. But the guy will always be a legend to Blues fans!

Great signing by Tampa.....they definitely need more grit and character, as the shellacking by Columbus showed. Maroon played for Cooper several years ago (St. Louis Bandits) and should do well under him.

I can't lie, I'm a little hurt.

He didn't sign with my team because he wanted to be close to his kid in St. Louis; but now he's going to Tampa? Does he no longer love his child? I'm starting to think he doesn't like us!

I love steak. Especially filet Mignon. I’m not buying sirloin cause it’s cheap. Same with Maroon.

He never had a step lol. Always been slow. Too slow to play with McDavid. Can’t play on top 3 lines. Waste of space

Better to play young guys. Give them experience and if not working out there’s the trade deadline and guys are cheap then...

The Lightning have plenty of good young prospects ready to slot into a 4th line role at league minimum salary. I don't really understand this signing.

Good signing to sit in the stands on a regular basis. If the kids are ready, Maroon sits. If he doesn't pan out, Syracuse or new team bound for no cap hit.

Regular season - little to no value. You'll wonder why he's taking up a roster space.

His contributions will come in the post season - if he's has anything left. I'm sure that's what Tampa is looking at right now based on their historically quick exit.

He was terrific in the first two rounds and the Blues probably don't advance past Dallas without him, but by the end, he didn't have much left in the tank.

He served the Blues well and I'm glad they didn't bring him back.

He's only guy on team to have won the Cup. He's there for the playoffs. Period
