Created by: HolyJumpin81

Team: 2025-26 St. Louis Blues

Initial Creation Date: Jul. 6, 2023

Published: Jul. 6, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

This could be a scary team if the prospects come as advertised and they fix the defense.
Is the Pelech trade unrealistic at this point. Zherenko will be a stud goalie you heard it here first.

Brodie is better/more reliable than most of the dmen currently on the Blues so not sure what you are laughing about there...

He’s more of an offensive guy, I’d rather just a good defensive guy firsts

No - he's solid defensively as well. He is 33 but would take him over Krug, Leddy, Scandella, Borts in a heartbeat.
