The St. Louis Blues are at a turning point. With the franchise caught between contending and retooling, the pressure is on their next wave of young talent to take the leap. Jimmy Snuggerud is already proving he belongs in the NHL, Dalibor Dvorsky is knocking on the door, and a big trade for Logan Mailloux shows management is betting big on the blue line. Add in first-round pick Justin Carbonneau and versatile forward Otto Stenberg, and you’ve got a prospect pool that could reshape the team’s identity. The question is: which of these players will become difference-makers—and how soon? Let’s break it down.
In-Depth Analysis of the St. Louis Blues Top Prospects
Jimmy Snuggerud – NHL Ready
Snuggerud’s transition from Minnesota to the Blues was seamless. His hockey IQ and playmaking ability give him a real chance to lock down a top-six role this season. From a fantasy perspective, he’s the safest rookie bet in St. Louis.
Dalibor Dvorsky – Patience Required
Though Dvorsky impressed in Springfield, his path to the NHL will take time. Long-term, he projects as a two-way center, but he may start on the wing. Dynasty fantasy owners should stash him now.
Logan Mailloux – The Trade Piece
The Blues paid a premium to acquire Mailloux, and for good reason. His size and offensive instincts give him top-four upside. Expect him to get NHL minutes this season.
Justin Carbonneau – High Upside Swing
The 2025 first-rounder dominated the QMJHL with 89 points. His decision to bypass college could fast-track him to the NHL by 2026, but don’t rule out a nine-game audition this fall.
Otto Stenberg – Bottom-Six Spark Plug
Stenberg doesn’t have the same ceiling as the others, but his versatility and relentless motor make him a likely NHL role player in a few years.
