With the new season around the corner, I wanted to take a minute to set down some predictions, projections, and possibilities for the St. Louis Blues this year. Some of these may seem bold, some sound safe. One thing is for certain, the team is exciting in 2019-20!
Doug Armstrong ratcheted up the excitement with the surprise acquisition and extension of Justin Faulk during the preseason. This move has Alex Pietrangelo shifting to the left side pairing up with the new defenseman.
The shuffling of the defensive pairings is enough to get you thinking about what the possibilities of the new season could be, but when you add in the extension of Faulk, it leads to some serious speculation about the future of two of the Blues fan favorite’s up and coming UFAs.
