Blues’ Forward Group in 2024-25 Will Be Far More Balanced
The St. Louis Blues haven’t made any major moves this summer, but they’ve improved the forward depth and overall group for the 2024-25 season with a couple of trades. It’s unclear whether Blues general manager Doug Armstrong expects the club to contend for the playoffs in 2024-25, but he’s operated in a neutral fashion. He hasn’t made any splash moves this summer. He’s decided to add to the club’s depth while hoping that a few players can have breakout campaigns or career seasons. The hiring of Drew Bannister as head coach also signals that the club is still stuck in the middle and might not be ready to truly contend for a couple of seasons. Let’s get into the forward group and why it will have far more balance.
