Projecting the Blues' lineup for 2026-27: Go young or roll it back?

ST. LOUIS — NHL free agency is seven weeks away, and the start of the 2026-27 regular season is five months away.But that will never stop The Athletic from conducting an early projection of what the St. Louis Blues’ opening-night lineup could look like.The assignment is more difficult this offseason because 1) The Blues are transitioning from general manager Doug Armstrong to incoming GM Alexander Steen, and 2) There are so many young players who will have a legitimate chance of making the team out of training camp.Advertisement
