BREAKING: Marco Scandella Signs 4-Year Extension with Blues

Some interesting news has surfaced out of St. Louis today, with the team re-signing one of their defenseman.
The Blues have re-signed defenseman Marco Scandella to a 4 year contract extension. This carries a cap hit of 3.275 million dollars per year.

This signing also means the Blues will give the Montreal Canadiens a 2021 4th-round pick. The initial conditions for that pick were either Scandella re-signing with the team, or the Blues winning two playoff rounds with Scandella playing at least half of those games.

While this is not certain yet, this deal does signal the end of Alex Pietrangelo's time in a Blues uniform.The Blues captain is on an expiring deal that caries a cap hit of 6.5 million dollars, asnd Capfriendly currently forecasts the Blues having approximately 5.4 million dollars of cap space for next season.
