depth signing who has shown the ability to be able to play in a controlled setting/role (ie. bottom pairing guy).
i was really curious to see if his stats like blocked shots would have resulted in him getting a decent contract this offseason. Although, the fact he signed in his hometown, hard to tell if he took the best offer he had or took a discount to go where he really wanted to.

Not at all surprising. Chris was set on signing for the Blues if they would find a way to take him. If not, he would've signed for the team closest to Missouri who would take him.
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.
