Ian Cole re-signs with Blues

St. Louis Blues defenseman Ian Cole has agreed to a contract extension with the Blues. The deal is a two-year contract, worth a total of $1.65 million. He'll make $750,000 in 2013-2014, and $900,000 in 2014-2015. The deal is also, a one-way contract. Cole who's 24, was drafted by the Blues in the 2007 NHL draft, he was picked in the first round and was picked 18th overall. He ended up making his NHL debut on November 6th, 2010 against the Boston Bruins in Boston. He scored his first career NHL goal on March 9th, 2011 against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Cole has showed scoring ability while playing college hockey and in AHL (American Hockey League). He hasn't shown much of it in the NHL yet, even though he's showed flashes of it while playing for the Blues.
In college hockey while playing for Notre Dame, he played 111 games, with 17 goals, 51 assists, for a total of 68 points. While, playing in the AHL, he played 109 games, 10 goals, 28 assists, for a total of 38 points.

So, far his career stats are: 67 games played, 2 goals, 9 assists, for a total of 11 points. He also is a plus 9 in his career, and has 67 penalty minutes. 

It will be nice seeing Cole in the NHL without going to the minors, during the season. So, hopefully that can help Cole improve his game in the NHL. It's also nice to see Cole staying around. I wonder who the Blues will re-sign next.
