Set for he is a solid #2 center and David backes can go play on the wing where he belongs......so yeah it was what they needed.
yea, he is a tweener 1st/2nd line center. Best center available in FA.
It was more like getting a solid number two guy when you need an ace if we are going to use sleepys analogy

Not really. He's the equivalent of picking up a solid 16 game winner, with the potential to win 18. That's a solid number 3 starter on a contending team. A number 2 guy would be an 17-18 winner that could win 20.
Just because he's the number 2 center doesn't equate to him being like a number 2 pitcher.
The Blues need dynamic talent. They need at least one elite forward, all contending teams have multiple.
Paul is another B+, A- player. He's not dynamic in any way. He's a slower footed intelligent player who's positionally sound and smart with the puck. He's not the game changer the Blues need, not a bad signing, he'll be useful, just not what is most needed.
