Making Blues

Last year was to have been the St. Louis Blues' breakthrough season, but thanks to injuries, it never happened.  This year, it is the same song and dance, as the Blues will once again, have the young talent, but health will once again be a question.  Jaroslav Halak getting back to his form of two seasons ago would be a nice start.  He was inconsistent, but like just about all of the roster, was also battling injuries.  A return to health and knowing what it takes to play 60+ games will benefit him this year.  T.J. Oshie is in the last year of his contract, and he hasn't played to expectations.  Another inconsistent year, and he will likely be seeking a new team after the season.  Alex Pietrangelo became the offensive force from the blue line that since departed Erik Johnson never became.  So, naturally, the pressure is on for him to continue to put up good numbers, and I think he will, since Kevin Shattenkirk will take some of the pressure off of him.

Prediction: 6th in West
