The Blues had a solid showing last year at the Traverse City tournament, going 3-1 in the annual pre-pre-season show. According to the Post-Dispatch, about half of last-year’s team will be back again this year, with 12 guys making the return (sorry, Tage Thompson). Four of the team’s 2018 draft picks will also be on the roster.
The round-robin tournament will run September 7th-11th, with the usual suspects in attendance - the Blues will be squaring off against the Carolina Hurricanes, Chicago Blackhawks, Columbus Blue Jackets, Dallas Stars, Detroit Red Wings, Minnesota Wild and the New York Rangers.
