Things are about to get real interesting. With Kostov and Moses signed, you are probably only keeping two of Ballard, McMullen, Clattenburg, Hookey, Good.
Of those two, Ballard is a lock for sureJust taking a guess, Ballard and McMullen stay.
McMullen would not have any demand. There is a surplus of OA for the few teams that still need one to choose between.
Ivanov may bring in something, but probably not much more than a 3rd at most. He hasn't yet proven he can be a starter in this league.
No Dickinson
Forward Tanner Dickinson, considered a fast-riser among Blues prospects before suffering a fractured thighbone last January, did not accompany the prospects team in Traverse City and will not participate in Blues training camp — which starts next week.
“It’s going to be a while,” general manager Doug Armstrong said. “That was a very serious injury. He won’t be in training camp.”
Playing junior hockey for Sault Ste. Marie in Ontario Hockey League, Dickinson suffered the injury in a Jan. 29 game against the Barrie Colts. A fourth-round pick in 2020, Dickinson had 47 points in 35 games on 18 goals and 29 assists before the injury. He also had made the Team USA junior squad.
Dickinson did some drill work during the Blues’ development camp in July at Centene Community Ice Center, but it may be a while before he sees the ice again in a team setting.
I'll save my thoughts for after he sees some regular season actionCharlie Schenkel preseason numbers:
2021-2022 games played 2, gaa 9.01, sv% .710
2022-2023 games played 2, gaa 1.32, sv% .957
Doesn't mean much yet, but I'll be interested to see if he can carry this form into the regular season.
Bizarre. Ty Anselmini is back on the roster?
He's essentially retired and just doing this as a hobby. I don't expect him to give up writing any time soon.So glad to see an article by Peter Ruicci, thought he might have hung them up.
