The summer doldrums never seem to start until August. Thursday and Friday’s NHL Draft saw the Blues select six new prospects (you can read Gabe’s breakdown of the picks here) as well as the trade of Ville Husso to the Detroit Red Wings. Wednesday, of course, is the beginning of the NHL’s free agency period.
In between the two important dates are the beginnings of many NHL teams’ prospect camps - including the Blues’. This year’s prospect camp begins today and will be hosted at the Centene Community Ice Center and runs through the 14th.
