The Alexander Steen era is officially over for the St. Louis Blues. The long-tenured forward hung up his skates this morning.
For quite some time, dating all the way back to the summer of 2020, St. Louis Blues fans were left wondering what was going on with Alex Steen. The longtime forward had missed most of the playoffs with an undisclosed injury and there was really little to no talk about him from the team after that.
It was always assumed he would at least start the 2021 season on Long Term Injured Reserve so the team could get salary cap relief.
