The Dallas Stars and Carolina Hurricanes will be sporting new duds next season; are the Blues going in the same direction?
Sure, losing in the first round of the playoffs sucks, but the Blues did give fans plenty to be excited about this year.
The Blues have quite a few guys coming up for unrestricted free agency, and quite a few RFAs that need qualifying offers. What's a front office to do?
Using Tableau software, I've put together this draft dashboard. It took weeks of compiling data from hockey DB (all dumped into one really big excel file) but FINALLY, a month before the draft,...
