2024-2025 Blues Multi-Purpose Thread.

I figured that they would play in our last preseason game, but I'm asking if there was some sort of cap related reasoning for sending them down only to then recall them. Mostly because the regular season has now started despite us still playing another preseason game.

No cap reasoning. But some were probably sent down earlier so they could get them through waivers. They and others will go down by the time they need to submit the opening roster on Monday.

The season has only started for the few teams playing their first couple of games in Czechia.

The Blues are sending their B team to Milwaukee so the A team can prepare to fly to Seattle.

For waiver eligible players, waiving them earlier in camp helps them clear through waivers while other teams are trying to cut down their roster. Less chance they will be claimed. You can recaall them and send them down again within a certain time period without them being subject to waivers on the next send down.

If you want to feel old:

Next year Robert Thomas will be the same age that Brayden Schenn was when he was traded to the Blues.

He actually already is. Thomas is 25 and so was Schenn when we acquired him, he just turned 26 two months after the trade.

Yeah, time flies.

It makes me feel old seeing these guys start families. Things quickly went from these guys are older, to these guys are my peers, to some of these guys aren't that much older than my young kids.
