The St. Louis Blues find themselves in a somewhat envious position, but also a tenuous one heading into the 2018-19 season. They have increased their talent levels by quite a bit, pushing their prospects to work even harder to crack the lineup.
The issue with that idea is that the Blues don’t have as much wiggle room as some might believe with regard to certain players. So, they may have put undue pressure on a certain player, which is exactly what they said they were trying to avoid.
The player in question is Robert Thomas.
