The St. Louis Blues selected Jimmy Snuggerud in the NHL Draft. He decided to return to the University of Minnesota for his junior season, despite interest from the Blues. This decision will allow him to continue developing his game and avoid playing in the AHL.
Blues GM Doug Armstrong fully supports Snuggerud's choice. He is expected to be a key player for the Blues in the future. The team will need his scoring ability and versatility on the power play for the upcoming season.
