  • Blues Mailbag: McMichael Deal, Dube Signing, Forward Logjam | Beatline Blues

    Blues Mailbag: McMichael Deal, Dube Signing, Forward Logjam | Beatline Blues
    2026/08/20
    The St. Louis Blues signed center Connor McMichael to a six-year, $40.5 million contract (average annual value of $6.75 million) on July 1, 2025. McMichael, 25, comes off a 25-goal season with the Washington Capitals and is expected to slot in as the second-line center behind Robert Thomas. The signing has divided the fanbase, with some questioning the price tag for a player who was a healthy scratch in Washington, while others see him as a bargain if he reaches his potential.

    In this mailbag episode, hosts Amanda and Paul answer fan questions about the McMichael deal, the controversial signing of forward Dillon Dube, and the team's crowded forward group. They break down the roster logjam, which includes nine centers: Thomas, McMichael, Mason McTavish, Dube, Pius Suter, Oskar Sundqvist, and others. The hosts discuss who will move to the wing, who might be traded, and who could be sent to the AHL. They also analyze the blue line, which has seven defensemen but lacks a clear number one, and touch on goaltending with Jordan Binnington and Joel Hofer. The episode includes a hypothetical about who should take a penalty shot in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, with Amanda picking McMichael and Paul choosing Thomas, plus a lightning round predicting goals leader, rookie roster spot, and season points total.

    This episode is perfect for Blues fans who want in-depth analysis of the team's offseason moves and roster decisions.
