Blues Prospects Thread 2020-2021

Do we have AHL team in coming season?

Yes they partnered with the Springfield Thunderbirds for (I believe) 4 years.

Has anyone seen if there will be a stream to watch for Traverse City? They've done it in the past but I haven't seen it mentioned yet.

I’ve heard the Red Wings website will host the entire tourney…

That is a decent roster. Only two legit D, in Perunovich and Tucker, but the O is pretty solid - Alexandrov, Joshua, Toropchenk for vets. Bolduc, Neighbors, Washkurak and Laferriere with some skill, aggression and size. Goalies are really solid. They could do some damage.

I actually like the idea of bringing in Griffin Luce. He played a Michigan and was projected to be a 2nd or 3rd round pick in the draft. He's big and a physical player. He doesn't bring any offense, but can sure play defense. Related to Don Luce if you are old enough to remember him with the Sabres.

I do indeed remember Don Luce! I would have no issue with giving Griffin a PTO. Why not?

Don Luce was his GRANDFATHER - my gosh, I am old.

Definitely cool with giving Luce a ELC. Blues need as many defensive prospects as we can get.

Edit: Apparently Luce will be playing with Springfield this year.

What did I just see and now can’t find… a blues prospect was a victim of armed robbery?

Blues shared then deleted a photo on their facebook saying that one of the Blues prospects in down for the prospect camp was a victim of an Armed Robbery at the Arch Grounds.

well that’s no good

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Also apparently Bolduc suffered a minor injury in his junior camp and will be reevaluated (sorry if this was mentioned elsewhere already)

 

[Linkens Mastery]

It's very odd tho. The Arch grounds are some of the safest and most secure places in downtown STL. There is security and police everywhere.

 

[kimzey59]

Apparently the Blues have signed Chris Thorburn to a front office position.

​

Also of note that he is part of the group coaching the prospects during our current Prospect Camp(didn't even know we were going to do one of those this year).

I really wonder if he goes to Traverse City with the kids or spends some time behind the bench in Springfield.

Happy to see Thorburn staying in a team position with the Blues. It says a lot when the players are so supportive and appreciative of a guy that played like 2 shifts in a season, to have him be one of the first to lay hands on the Cup.

Probably more shenanigans by Tarasenko's agent trying to force a trade.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

And it looks like the Blues won’t release the name of the prospect. Sorry bud. Welcome to America?

 

[bleedblue1223]

Why would they release the name and why would the player want that released?

I'm sure there is a reason for that. But if you really wanna speculate, there are only 3-4 Blues prospects listed at 20 years old right now.

Definitely not a good look for St. Louis, but at least no one was hurt.

I’m glad they’re protecting our prospect. Good move, Blues.

No kidding. Everybody would know he's an easy target.
Who doesn't need a new cell phone and some walking around money?

Blues to participate in Traverse City prospect tournament Sept. 17-20

blues will stream it live on their YouTube channel

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Oh, sorry. I didn’t see this post.

Yes, I am relieved that the prospect’s identity was not disclosed. That’s how I feel; relieved.

Hmm, is it really that bad in St Louis?

Depending on the part, yes.
