St. Louis Blues: Four Players The Blues Should Look At During Camp

The St. Louis Blues know their roster, with one or two players that could sneak in. However, given future circumstances, they should bring in a few guys for looks.

The St. Louis Blues have the luxury of knowing who is going to be on their playoff roster without one, single practice ahead of time. There might be a fight for a final spot or two, but overall, the Blues know their 18 skaters.

The one question mark on the main roster is whether Jordan Kyrou might get a spot. I think his playing time will be situational, based on the opponent, if he gets any.

Regardless of that, the Blues do need to bring in players for their taxi-squad. The NHL will allow slightly expanded playoff rosters, just in case of a string of positive covid tests.

With that in mind, we might as well help them out and let them know who to invite. These are going to be players that might have been invited anyway, or some might not, but not automatics.

For example, we know Ville Husso will be on this expanded list. He was already part of the Black Aces in 2019, so with unlimited goaltenders on your roster for the playoffs, you know he will be there.

These are guys that need a look either to see where they are at in their progression, or to get them meaningful ice time with the future in the air. Nobody wants to think about it, but there is a possibility of no minor league hockey in 2020-21, so some guys need all the practice they can get in the meantime.

So, here are the four players the Blues should invite to their “training camp” to give a look.
