Whenever I think of depth in sports, I always think of a crowded ship. You know, one of those ships where there are probably 200 different jobs and all hands on deck are required at all times. Someone is bound to go down, so you need the depth. In the case of the 2021-22 St. Louis Blues, 3-4 men go down per week.
Since the NHL isn’t looking to provide NHL teams with any sort of assist during the latest wretched round of COVID-19 stints for players, the Blues need all the depth they can handle, even if we are only in month three of the season.
