Preseason is a time for young prospects to shine and battle for a spot on the NHL roster. In the case of 19-year-old Tage Thompson and 20-year-old Vince Dunn, both players had successful camps and narrowly won jobs with the Blues as they prepare to start their 2017-18 season in Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n
Thompson may have been a surprise selection after\u00a0Samuel Blais impressed throughout camp, but the team sided with Thompson due to his strong play with\u00a0Magnus Paajarvi and Oskar Sundqvist. Meanwhile, Dunn bested\u00a0Jake Walman and will have his toughness and physicality tested at the NHL level.<\/p>\n
