Mike, what do you make of this recent stretch for the Blues?
Should we make anything of it, or is it just kind of a, a little hot streak that happens here?
and, and where do you see Snuggerud as being part of the rebuild that the Blues are expected to go under here?
Well, I was gonna say his name wasn't mentioned along with everybody on the Blues roster in terms of being traded before the deadline, so that must mean that Alex Steen, who's the new general manager taking over from Armstrong, wants to keep Snuggerud.
And I don't blame them because he's a sc- he was a scoring star at the University of Minnesota, came in at the end of last year, even scored two goals in the playoffs for them.
It always takes college players a little bit of time to acclimate themselves to the NHL, and as you said, he, he struggled with some injuries, but he's a very talented scorer, son of a former Buffalo Sabre, Dave Snuggerud, so he's got good bloodlines.
And I, I think he's a talent, so I think he's a gu- somebody who can score probably thirty-five to forty goals in this league eventually, and fifteen goals as a rookie is not bad.
