Just saw this while checking out the new "Hip" website the Blues rolled out recently.

The Blues re-signed defenseman Steve Wagner.

Does anyone see him being effective at the NHL level?

Wow, just as I about had an internal explosion due to co-worker incompetence . . .

I see this.

Irony? I dunno. But we’ve got Dancin’ Steve around for another year.

I wonder how (or whether) this affects their dealings with Roman Polak and his agent.

well

actually, they made the qualifying offer so its up to him to field other offers, but this could still affect longer-term contract negotiations, perhaps. Or not.

Dancin’ Steve makes the NHL ranks at some point or DJ King (and his condo) will wreck some faces in the front office.

It deffinitely makes sense

With Ian Cole deciding to return to College and with the uncertainty surrounding Polak.
We learned last year that enough able-bodies sometimes is nowhere near enough.
Personally, I like the guy. All that aside, he is an option to come up and not be a liability, he has proven he can contribute as well as compete with the big boys. Not overly an offense threat or a shut-down guy, but he can move the puck and is quick as shit. Maybe he will develop his game and shift his dancin’ skills from the dance floor to the offensive rush. If nothing else, he could be a nice kicker in a trade. Good Move.
