Blues Ink Dube to Prove-It Deal Worth $850K

The St. Louis Blues are giving Dillon Dube a one-year, $850,000 contract on a one-way deal, betting that he can reclaim his form after his legal situation is resolved. This is a low-risk, high-reward gamble for St. Louis - if Dube produces, the Blues get a bargain; if he doesn't, they're not tied down long-term. The contract structure tells you the Blues believe in his talent but understand the stakes of bringing him back into the fold.
