Friedman sees Blues' Sobotka as "perfect fit" for Oilers

Elliotte Friedman was on Edmonton’s 630 CHED on Friday afternoon.

As part of a discussion on Vladimir Sobotka potentially leaving the KHL:

“Sobotka is going to be an interesting one there because I think there’s going to be... if you think you can sign him - and I’ve heard he’s looking for about between 3 and 3.5 a year over three years – you can get him.

“It all depends on what St. Louis wants to do. Do they look after the playoffs this year and say, ‘Okay, we’re going to keep him.’ Because there’s been a lot of bad blood there.

“But if not, if you’re willing to commit three years, somewhere between $9.5-10 million - you’ll probably get the deal done and I think he’d be a perfect fit for a team like Edmonton. I think he could do a lot of good for you guys.”
