Blues Earn a Big Win with Ott's Return

About this episode

The episode discusses Steve Ott's extension as head coach and various NHL topics including trade rumors and the Stanley Cup Final.

Alex Ferrario, Donny Fandango, and Jeremy Rutherford are back for a brand new episode of the Last Minute Blues Podcast following the news of Steve Ott's two-year extension to remain head coach of the St. Louis Blues' AHL affiliate, the Springfield Thunderbirds. The guys discuss what Ott's extension means for the organization's developmental symmetry, the recent two-way contract signings for Georgii Romanov, Zach Dean, and Dylan Peterson, and whether Dillon Dube is on his way to St. Louis. They also dive into the unexpectedly high-scoring Stanley Cup Final between the Vegas Golden Knights and Carolina Hurricanes, before looking around the NHL at Dylan Larkin's trade request out of Detroit and the mind-boggling rumors of Mike Babcock coaching the Edmonton Oilers. Plus, the guys answer listener emails to debate whether the St. Louis Blues should trade up to the second overall pick in the upcoming NHL Draft.
