The St. Louis Blues pretty much have their defensive core figured out for the 2021 season. It won’t include one man, but that does not mean he is done with the franchise.
The St. Louis Blues lost a big piece of their defensive core when Jay Bouwmeester was sidelined following a heart issue back in February. Once we all knew he would be alright, the focus switched to what Bouwmeester’s future might hold.
Of course, the likelihood was and still is that he will be forced to retire from playing.
