Blues forward Patrik Berglund is coming off of a season that saw him score 23 goals (second on the team behind Vladimir Tarasenko) and 34 points. This year of solid production got him a four year contract extension, a no-movement clause, and a salary of $4,700,000 per season.
So, it stands to reason that during off-season training in Sweden, Berglund would injure his shoulder again and require surgery that will push his debut back to December.
Says Doug Armstrong:
"It certainly will move someone else in the middle," Blues general manager Doug Armstrong said.
