He's a guy who indeed is in need of a contract, although so far, it's apparent that he's been a little disappointed in how the contract negotiations have gone thus far. We're turning to a few mentions in the media that highlight the idea of "Pietrangelo" going to free agency, and how if that's the case, the apparent front runners on his limited list would be the "Vegas" Golden Knights and the "Toronto" Maple "Leafs". The Athletic Article: https://theathletic.com/2063545/2020/09/14/lebrun-family-matters-for-free-agents-from-alex-pietrangelo-to-ryan-miller/ Pro Hockey Rumors Article: https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2020/09/latest-on-alex-pietrangelos-free-agency.html This comes after the St. Louis Blues were eliminated from the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs by the Vancouver Canucks. The 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs are involving sixteen teams, which are the Boston Bruins, Tampa Bay Lightning, Washington Capitals, Philadelphia Flyers, Montreal Canadiens, Carolina Hurricanes, New York Islanders, and Columbus Blue Jackets in the East, and the Colorado Avalanche, St. Louis Blues, Vegas "Golden Knights", Vancouver Canucks, Calgary Flames, Chicago Blackhawks, Arizona Coyotes, and Dallas Stars in the West. The matchups are currently the Golden Knights VS Stars in the Western Conference Finals, and Lightning VS Islanders in the Eastern Conference Finals. The "Vegas Golden Knights" got eliminated by the Dallas Stars in the Western Conference Finals in Game 5. Of the Conference Semi-Final matchups, the Boston Bruins, Colorado Avalanche, Vancouver Canucks, and Philadelphia Flyers have been eliminated The eliminated teams of the 2020 NHL Playoffs from the qualifying play-in series are the Edmonton Oilers, Winnipeg Jets, Nashville Predators, Minnesota Wild, Pittsburgh Penguins, New York Rangers, "Toronto Maple Leafs", and the Florida Panthers. Teams eliminated from the first round of the 2020 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs are the St. Louis Blues, Calgary Flames, Arizona Coyotes, Chicago Blackhawks, Columbus Blue Jackets, Montreal Canadiens, Carolina Hurricanes, and the Washington Capitals. This process will probably cause the Blues to make a few trades, potentially with guys like Jaden Schwartz or Vladimir Tarasenko to free up cap space. Jaden Schwartz was drafted out of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. The 2010 NHL Entry Draft saw many top NHL prospects get selected by a variety of teams.
