St. Louis Blues Roster Update
As the St. Louis Blues look to strengthen their roster ahead of the upcoming season, the team’s recent trade of Zack Bolduc to the Montreal Canadiens for defenseman Logan Mailloux has left them in need of additional winger depth.
Potential Target: Victor Olofsson
A promising name to consider is unrestricted free agent Victor Olofsson, who could effectively fill a third-line right-wing position.
Olofsson, a seasoned 30-year-old player, had an impressive 2024-25 season with the Vegas Golden Knights, accumulating 15 goals, 14 assists, and a plus-17 rating over just 56 games. Historically, he has proven to be a consistent offensive contributor, notching at least 20 goals and 40 points on three separate occasions throughout his career.
If he had managed to compete in all 82 games last season, his pace suggested he would have achieved the 20-goal and 40-point milestones again, underscoring his potential to make a significant impact on the ice.
Strategic Move for the Blues
Signing Olofsson could be a strategic move for the Blues. Not only could he enhance their third line, but he might also provide a vital boost to their second power-play unit, making him a worthwhile target for the team, whether through a one-year contract or a professional tryout (PTO).
Other Free Agents
In related news, as the month of August approaches, many unrestricted free agents have already found new teams, yet former Blues forward Jakub Vrana remains on the market, still searching for his next opportunity in the league.
