The Blues’ Revamped Bottom Six: Faster and More Skilled Than Ever
In a bold move to improve their third and fourth lines, the Blues have made some major changes. With the addition of Alexandre Texier from Columbus and Mathieu Joseph from Ottawa, as well as re-signing Kasperi Kapanen, the Blues have completely remade their bottom six. And according to Blues general manager Doug Armstrong, the objective was clear: to become a faster team.
The Blues have always been known for their physicality, but now they are adding speed and skill to the mix. With the lanky and speedy Alexey Toropchenko already on the team, the Blues are now boasting a bottom six that is filled with above-average skaters on the wings.
“We wanted to get to be a faster team,” Armstrong stated confidently. And with the new additions and re-signings, it looks like the Blues have achieved just that. The revamped bottom six is sure to bring a new level of energy and speed to the ice, making the Blues a formidable force to be reckoned with.
