This is the first time since the 2016-2017 season that the St. Louis Blues have had a direct AHL affiliate. Before the Vegas Golden Knights came into the NHL last season, the Chicago Wolves were the Blues AHL team. Now, they have the San Antonio Rampage, and the organization can maneuver their players and coaches however they want.
Last season, the Golden Knights and the Blues shared the Chicago Wolves, and the team featured prospects from both teams. The San Antonio era has jumped off to a slow start, the team is seventh in their division with 31 points and are 15-17-1 on the year.
