When the St. Louis Blues signed Scottie Upshall prior to the 2015-16 season, many fans were a little puzzled. They did not necessarily understand the move because, at the time, it seemed like he was a completely underperforming third-line player and the Blues had enough of those.
However, he has proved to be an invaluable piece and tremendous worker on the fourth line. Not too many people would have expected that, but Upshall has cast pride away and done everything for the betterment of the team.
At this stage of the game, he is a bit of a throw back type of player.
