Swedish Blue- Line Prospect Fits the Blues' Mold

St. Louis is eyeing a Swedish defenseman who apparently checks enough boxes to make people in that building start nodding before the scouting report is even finished. The phrase "Blues Hockey" is not usually used carelessly, because it means a certain kind of fit - one that survives the grind and still makes sense when the games get ugly. If this player truly fits the profile, the Blues may be looking at the kind of pick that quietly looks obvious in hindsight.
