Following this season, I think the Blues need to make a few decisions. Below compiles a list of my ideal future planning for the Blues roster. The list is most likely set for the 2027-28 season (4 years out) when Hayes, Saad, Schenn (moved), Leddy, Krug, Faulk, and Binnington are all out of the lineup.
Top 9 F, Top 4 D, Top G:
- P. Buchnevich (32), J. Kyrou (29), R. Thomas (28), J. Neighbours (25), Z. Bolduc (24), Z. Dean (24), J. Snuggerud (23), D. Dvorsky (22), O. Stenberg (22)
- C. Parayko (34), M. Ferraro/S. Perunovich* (29), T. Lindstein (22), 2024 1st Round Pick - RD (H. Mews, 21)
- J. Hofer (27)
Projected 2027-28 Lineup:
Bolduc - Thomas - Snuggerud
Neighbours - Dvorsky - Kyrou
Stenberg - Dean - Buchnevich
Lindstein - Parayko
Ferraro/Perunovich* - Mews
Hofer
*If Perunovich isn’t traded, he’d be partners with Mews/2024 1st Round Pick - RD
