ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Blues on Monday signed college
free agent forward Felix Trudeau to a two-year entry-level
contract that begins next season, adding one of the top
undrafted players available to their stockpile of prospects.
He is expected to join the American Hockey League’s Springfield
Thunderbirds for the remainder of this season on a professional
tryout agreement.
Trudeau, 23, is coming off a season at Sacred Heart University
in which he ranked second in the country with 25 goals. He was
tied for sixth nationally in Division I with 48 points in 39
NCAA games and was named Atlantic Hockey America player of the
year.
Now seven years removed from winning the Stanley Cup, the Blues
look to be heading toward a youth movement at a time of
organizational transition, with longtime general manager Doug
Armstrong on the verge of stepping down and handing the job to
Alexander Steen this summer.
St. Louis traded captain Brayden Schenn to the New York
Islanders at the deadline and had an agreement to send Colton
Parayko to Buffalo before the veteran defenseman invoked his
no-trade clause to block the move.
