The St. Louis Blues are about $8 million under the salary cap ceiling but have yet to sign RFA's Alex Pietrangelo, Chris Stewart and Jake Allen. The Blues are not adverse to trading some veterans to get under the cap should the trio cost them more than eight million. Pietrangelo figures to get the most money as young talented defensemen are the tough to find and some NHL teams may consider an offer sheet. Pietrangelo had five goals and 24 points in 47 games last season after a 12 goal, 51 point season in 2011-12 in which he was a plus-16. Pietrangelo is only 23 and has a huge future ahead of him. He is worth drafting as a top-10 defenseman in fantasy pools.
