Description

Apparently Florida, Colorado, and Calgary were all in pursuit of Sylvegard, so it's a little surprising he came to the Blues.

I would assume the Blues offered him a great shot to make the roster, most likely as the 3 RW.

It seems the Blues are also signing Samuel Johannesson (RHD - 23 years old). Had really solid production in the SHL. Seems like a late bloomer. I'm excited about this kid he has a lot of talent. I assume he starts in the AHL but maybe this is a sign the Blues will move on from Faulk.

Thoughts on the signing?

Basically, it comes down to whether he can out-clever his skating. He plays hard on the boards and has a nasty shot, so he sounds like a Blues player.
