Tom Timmermann of St. Louis Post Dispatch: (mailbag) Are the kids being given a fair shot? The St. Louis Blues fanbase presents a valid question. The reality dictates that Craig Berube makes the playing decision while Doug Armstrong manages the roster. Just because a player is called up does not mean he should play top minutes right away.
Again and again, St. Louis develops players their way. A forward like Jordan Kyrou learning the NHL game may be more important than just throwing him in against top-line competition. There exists a reason why he is playing ten minutes a night.
