Did not see a thread for this kid when I searched - I'm excited to see what he can do this year. I only really have seen him in the AHL playoffs but he was fun to watch.

Any thoughts on his first game, Blues fans?

I played some games with him and some game vs him . He's look good in his first game . I really think that he's ready to play with 2 good offensive player in a top 6 . If it's line mates are grinder , Blais are useless . Is not fast but he's have terrible hands . Able to create some good chance with this and added to a good release he could be a good offensive player . He is also excellent in PP , particularly Half board

He was playing very motivated you could tell, you could definitely see nerves a couple times where he could have held the puck longer to make a decision but no major problems. Board battles were a strength for him and he was forechecking well. Unfortunately he couldn't bury one, he had at least 3 great looks from the high slot.
