That’s a very nice roster. Just need Cranley and the undrafted 18 year old goalie they invited to not get shelled and we should do well.

I just bought tickets to both games. Pumped to see the you young guys!

Blues say both games will be streamed via their website and app too for those that don’t want to make the trek to St. Paul.

I am bit surprised Dalibor and Dean are there and we will all be watching Jiricek. Blues prospects seem somewhat on the older side, should dominate this year

Really curious to see if Jiricek and Lindstein get paired together or if they’re split up. I would prefer them together, but that may not leave enough time for the other pairings.

Also want to Stenberg, Dvorsky and Carbonneau together. That very well might be the most potent offensive line in this little tourney.

Seems like a pretty normal roster to me. At least in terms of who should be there - pretty much any prospect not playing in Europe or college this season.

When I saw the thread title my mind went to The Price is Right!

Dam but yay? I can not miss these games. but dam if that doesn't foreclose "going camping maybe" as we are still not in rainy season and I thought I had that weekend hockey free

Dean is still my Dark Horse. He has lost some time and he knows this is the put up or shut up year. Barring more than a couple of injuries, it is unlikely he makes the big club, but he is a fine hockey player and will play in the NHL someday soon. I hope it is with the Blues.

That knee injury early in the T Bird's season shut him down... until the last five games they played.

Hey man, never know what happens in camp 4th line jobs can be won perhaps by blowing management away

He's a little on the meek side and will be lucky if he can carve out a Ryan Johnson-type career.
