Oskar Sundqvist (expected to start the season on the long-term injured reserve (LTIR) as he finishes recovering from an ACL injury that ended his 2020-21 season).Brandon Saad (signed to a five-year, $22.5 million contract as an unrestricted free agent this summer).Pavel Buchnevich ( acquired from the New York Rangers in a trade this summer).There are currently eleven forwards who can comfortably assume their place in the Blues’ main roster: Louis, who will end up with the Springfield Thunderbirds of the AHL, and who, if anyone, might be looking for work. In this article, we’ll look at the forwards and defenders who are fighting for final roster position, and project which players will end up in St. It is safe to assume that Jordan Binnington and Ville Husso will be the team’s two goaltenders.
Louis Blues have cut their training camp roster down to 29 players, which leaves them with about 10 players outside the obvious “core” who are on the fringes of making the roster. General managers are forced to make calls and cut their roster down to 23, sending their remaining camp players to the American Hockey League (AHL) or back to their junior teams, or - in the case of veterans who can’t quite keep up - to free agency unexpectedly. Inevitably, teams have young players that should make the roster but might not, and they often have aging veterans who might be past their prime. Every NHL team, especially projected contenders, faces a series of tough decisions at this time of year.
