Generation Next
Alex Pietrangelo, D, 19
Pietrangelo had the skills and maturity to start the season with the Blues last year. He suffered a head injury in mid-October and St. Louis ultimately decided against rushing the 18-year-old. The physical puck mover split his season among Niagara, Team Canada and Peoria. Expect Pietrangelo to stick in St. Louis this time around. Niagara (OHL) - 36GP-8G-21A-29PTS

View From the Stands
Charge says:
"Let's face it, the biggest weakness of the Blues has been the defense, especially moving the puck across the blue line and generating offense. EJ and Pietrangelo and hopefully a healthy Brewer upgrade this unit more than any free agent pick up could do and getting back the veteran King and a healthy Jackman makes this unit move from a weakness to a strength."
