Blues sign Ross Johnston

[Francis Park Thug]

Led the NHL with 11 majors last season with the Ducks

[Pierre McGuire]

Always liked him when he was with the Isles..he was a legit heavyweight. I’m happy….it was much needed

[Mike Tricky]

Love it! We needed somebody to watch the young guys backs. Tucker ain't it.

Finally a Heavy ! Tidy work Steen

Gotta be the end of Walker I would say. Always appreciated his effort.

[STL fan in MN]

He’s a monster at 6’5” 235 lbs. Won’t contribute much of anything offensively but he’s a maniac that will probably end up playing around 2/3 of our games going in and out of the lineup on the 4th line.

This probably isn’t good news for at least one of Torpo or Walker though.

Agree 100%, but he's something we don't have, and can be a press box guy when needed, and on the ice when we need a physical presence. Walker was going to do the same, so I like this move.

Love this signing. I imagine he dresses 1/2 the games. Definitely adds protection to the rest of the lineup.

Blues continue to get bigger. Tougher.

Pagnotta is still the only one reporting - fingers crossed

This is a great move. This is something this team has been missing for a while now. It should be a fun season.

[Mike Tricky]

Imagine if Pederson makes the team as well that will be a big 4th line. Johnston Finley Pederson

Exactly. I've always liked and admired Dingo, but this might just spell the end for him. Him or Johnston would both be a 14th forward imho, so I'd rather have the heavyweight. And I'm not 100% sure it's Walker going, but he seems likely, as I haven't read anything to that effect, but it makes sense he gets waived.

If this was 1986 you’d have a point, but it’s not.

There are no guys in the league anymore that just fight. He can skate and he can hit.

Steen gets it, he was a player and he knows how valuable a guy like that can be.
