While some of these players are works-in-progress, they could make an impact and a push at training camp. One of these projects is Ty Rattie, a former WHL superstar who hasn’t been able to transition successfully to the NHL.
The Blues took Rattie at 32nd overall in 2011, anticipating a lot of scoring and ability from him as he continued to grow. He finished with 151 goals and 348 points in 269 WHL games, and also produced 1.29 points per game in juniors. However, when it came time to move to the next level, he couldn’t put up the same results.
