Damn, guess its a " 2 years to prove what youre worth " kinda deal. Gotta think that if he cant earn a $4+ deal after the next 2 years he becomes a journeyman or heads back to Europe.

He's going to have a better chance to show his worth in St.Louis than in Edmonton. He might bounce between the AHL and NHL for a nit but I really think they can get him straightened out.

Kind of like how Neidereitter will likely flourish in Minny because of the change of scenery.

Paajarvi would have to clear waivers to go to the AHL

Hope he does well now that he's not an Oiler.
