Angående Alexander Steens sista år på NHL-kontraktet:
"This makes a buyout that much more likely, if the Blues truly wanted to get rid of Steen. But this would be, well, completely pointless. If Steen’s contract was bought out on June 15th, for example, the Blues would still bear a heavy cap hit of $3.4 million heading into the 2020-21 season, meaning they wouldn’t even gain $2.5 million in cap space. They would go from paying $5.75 million for a terrific, bottom-six glue to paying $3.4 million to not have him."
