The St. Louis Blues hired former player Alexander Steen to the hockey operations staff in June 2023. One storyline since that happened has been the deep dive into the pool of Swedish prospects.
When St. Louis Blues fans think back to 2019, to winning a StanleyCup, they think of Barbashev, they think of Sundqvist and they think of Steen, among other contributors that led to the franchise's first championship.
The St. Louis Blues are bringing back a familiar face, hiring Alexander Steen as a European Player Development Consultant. He will normally work overseas but will be back in town to help with the upcoming prospect camp.
According to the club statement, Steen is dealing with "multiple levels of degenerative herniated discs of his lumbar spine" that he suffered during the 2019-20 regular season.
