The first night of the NHL Draft saw the Blues select Jimmy Snuggerud 23rd overall. The 18 year old right wing has been with the USNDT, ranking sixth overall in points. Gabe Foley had this to say about him in his profile on the Blues’ latest selection:
Jimmy Snuggerud is a fascinating pick for the St. Louis Blues. He continues the vibes set by many of the team’s recent selections but is simultaneously a nice bridge to the style of the team’s emerging stars. Like Zachary Bolduc, Snuggerud has a hard, hard shot that was heavily praised headed into the draft.
