Not me, at least not to the point that it would be noticeable. He's a fringe NHL player who doesn't really fill a need - at least someone like Engelland will bring toughness. He' going to be 28, might still put
it together but he can no longer get paid on potential and is being paid accordingly to what he brings to an NHL team.
And with the two-way contract he has to be aware that St. Louis is not exactly expressing faith that he will even stick around in St. Louis. If he hits waivers and other teams were lining up to get him, he'll end up in one of those places anyways.
