The St. Louis Blues have many candidates for several teams, mostly on Team Canada. Here are the top five Blues players going to Prague, Czech Republic, to compete in the Worlds. This was unexpected after the first 15 players selected to Team USA revealed a roster stacked with elite NHL talent. Matthew Kessel was a surprise, but it makes sense to have some young players at every position.
Two more Blues players will continue their seasons, as forward Kevin Hayes and defenseman Matthew Kessel were named to the American team for the upcoming World Championship. Hayes and Kessel will join Canadians Colton Parayko, Jordan Binnington and Joel Hofer at the tournament, which is May 10-26 in Czechia.
Back in the 2023 offseason, the Philadelphia Flyers were fairly busy. In the end, the Flyers chose to send off the latter. While the trade was seemingly a success for the Flyers–albeit a minor one–it appears as though they traded the wrong player. With the Flyers in rebuild mode, they shipped off Hayes to the Blues to free some cap space and also get a bit younger on offense.
