St. Louis Blues Fortunate To Have Affiliates For Goalie Surplus

One of the more messy things about the St. Louis Blues minor league situation over the past few years was their goaltending issue. It reared its head the most when Ville Husso was left without a landing spot.

The Blues did not have an ECHL affiliate two seasons ago, so they came to a working agreement with the Missouri Mavericks. However, the Mavericks were the official affiliate of another team, so Husso was not made the featured goaltender as the Blues would have liked.

So, they had to jam three goaltenders in with the Chicago Wolves. It was not exactly a great situation.
