BLUES TEAM NEWS CENTER

Alex Pietrangelo - D

St. Louis Blues

The St. Louis Blues are going to need to shed some salary in order to re-sign star defenseman Alex Pietrangelo.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

The Blues figured to be fine when the salary cap was projected to go up to as much as $88 million, but that was before the COVID-19 pandemic which has thrown the cap right out the window. The Blues have $79.4 million in commitments for the 2020-21 season and even if the cap holds at $81.5 million, it will not be enough to retain Pietrangelo's services. He was having a strong season before the pause, with 16 goals and 52 points in 70 games, two shy of his career high of 54 points set a couple of years earlier. Pietrangelo is a top-seven defenseman in the NHL and deserves to be drafted as such.

J. Petry - D

MTL

Jeff Petry has signed a four-year contract extension with the Montreal Canadiens.

The deal has an average annual value of $6.25 million. It reportedly also comes with $8 million in signing bonuses, a 15-team NTC and full NMC. Petry would have been eligible for unrestricted free agency after the 2020-21 season, but now he is signed through 2024-25. He has reached the 40-point plateau in each of his last three years. Petry had 11 goals, 40 points, 158 shots and 177 hits across 71 contests in 2019-20.

He was acquired from Pittsburgh on Feb. 20 and appeared in four games with Montreal's AHL affiliate, the Laval Rocket, after the move and he had one goal and three assists in four games. Blandisi also recorded five points in 21 outings with Pittsburgh as well as 14 points over 26 contests with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in 2019-20.

C. Verhaeghe - F

TB

Carter Verhaeghe might draw back in for Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final on Friday night.

Verhaeghe was scratched for Game 3 on Wednesday against Dallas due to the return of Steven Stamkos. The Lightning captain has been ruled out for Game 4, so Verhaeghe could play as the team's 12th forward. Based on the video from the morning skate that appears to be probable, but we won't know for certain until the pregame warmups.

A. Lyon - G

PHI

Alex Lyon has signed a one-year contract extension with the Philadelphia Flyers.

The deal has an average annual value of $700,000. Lyon spent most of the 2019-20 season with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms of the AHL, while posting a record of 11-14-5 with a 2.69 goals-against average, a .913 save percentage and one shutout.
