The St. Louis Blues got some bad news on June 28. Patrik Berglund is going to miss significant time for the second time in three seasons.
The Berglund news would have been a downer anwyay, but it comes at a rather inopportune time. The Blues were coming off a very uplifting week.
St. Louis made a big splash by acquiring Brayden Schenn from the Philadelphia Flyers during the 2017 NHL Draft. They made some solid picks and also bolstered their prospect pool with a trade with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The Blues were making some smart moves with their restricted free agents.
