Zubov Joins Blues to Elevate Development | St. Louis Blues News

Sergei Zubov, the Russian defenseman who helped the New York Rangers end a 54-year Stanley Cup drought in 1994 and later won another title with Dallas, is now joining the St. Louis Blues as a player development guru. Drafted in the fifth round in 1990, Zubov exploded onto the scene with 31 points as a rookie and led the Rangers with 89 points in their championship run — becoming one of the first Russian-born players to lift the Cup. After a decorated playing career that included four All-Star appearances, he transitioned into coaching, notably turning around power-play units in the KHL with SKA and CSKA. Now, as a consultant for the Blues, his elite hockey sense and championship pedigree are poised to reshape player development and evaluation. Though he won’t be calling plays from the bench, his deep understanding of winning at the highest level — forged in the Red Army system and honed through decades of elite coaching — makes him a transformative addition. This move signals the Blues’ serious commitment to building a future contender, starting from the ground up. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Sixth Round Gem Lars Steiner | St. Louis Blues News

The St. Louis Blues shocked the NHL draft with a flurry of moves, including a surprise trade for Mason McTavish, but their real hidden gem might be Lars Steiner — a sixth-round pick at 171st overall. Standing just under five-foot-ten and weighing 176 pounds, Steiner defies the odds for smaller wingers, who rarely crack the NHL. Scouts saw potential, with Elite Prospects ranking him 63rd — and if he becomes even a solid third-liner, it’s a steal. His path will be tough, especially battling for ice time on the fourth line, but players like Logan Stankoven and Zach Benson prove it’s possible. A closer parallel? Denver Barkey, a third-rounder who thrived for the Flyers with relentless effort. Steiner’s ceiling hinges on his motor — if he brings that same fire and hustle, he could rewrite the script and become a key piece for the Blues.
