He's putting life above money (assuming someone else would've signed him for more/one-way) and as a bonus has a chance to win. He's a great, well-liked guy but mediocre hockey player.

Can you elaborate on why he's so set on playing in St. Louis? I get that it's home but it's the prime earnings period of his career and were things really that bad in Buffalo and Calgary that he had to go home in the middle of his career to a team that really doesn't have room? This is a great move by the Blues as there's no risk at all on their side as if he makes the lineup they have a veteran player in his prime for pretty well league minimum salary.
