Jack Finley

But again, I mean, you're going to have such great guys playing for Springfield.

And another player that was assigned was Jack Finley.

Again, his father, Jeff, did play for the Blues prior.

I'm a little bit surprised that nobody picked Finley off of waivers only because he did well when it came to face-offs.

We're going to talk about what the Blues have lost in Mayhew and what they might be gaining in the other two players.

We're also going to talk about The roster taking shape after the Blues assigned some familiar faces to Springfield, including Nathan Walker, Oscar Sundquist, along with Jack Finley and Calais Rosen as well.

So the roster is starting to take shape and they are trying something new, it seems, that they don't want to just roll out the same depth players and guys like walker and and sunquist and so um yeah there's there's a bit of a shuffle there so we'll talk about sort of what the the bottom of the roster is looking like uh so yeah we can go ahead and get started um i did want to we uh we wanted to mention as well off of the top um something that that we haven't gotten a chance to to uh talk about yet as we've waited just for for more details to come out but um As many Blues fans know by now, one of the Blues prospects, Matthew Mayich, is in critical condition, has been hospitalized after collapsing during an off-season workout with his team over at Arizona State about a month ago.

And so the Mayich family has been very vocal about Matthew's story and wanting it to be told.

The other moves that the Blues have made, I was kind of surprised by some of these.

Mainly, I mean, kind of All these guys, at least these forwards.

So the Blues sent quite a few players down to the AHL in the past few days, including Oscar Sundquist, Nathan Walker, Jack Finley.

Those were the forwards.

So if we want to send anyone else that is still on the roster down, they have to go on waivers.

And that is the same category that Finley, Sundquist, and Walker fell into on Friday.

So we assigned those four that I named to the AHL because they weren't waiver required.

And then we put Jack Finley, Oscar Sundquist, and Nathan Walker on waivers.

I... for one, was, we'll call it pleasantly surprised, that none

of the three

So, you know, it's not like they had to be an NHL player if they were claimed.

So...

We found out yesterday that, you know, there was no reason to worry, really.

Oscar Sundquist, Jack Finley, and Nathan Walker have all cleared waivers.

And they will start with the Springfield Thunderbirds.

And hey, if there's injuries, I'll call them up.

Of course, he's dealt with injuries, like you said, he's never played a full season.

But he's earned himself a spot here in the lineup over a guy like Jack Finley, who's going down, which is pretty interesting, because he's gonna have to play a role for this team.

Now, as that foresee, we're gonna definitely get into that more.

And, you know, the season is just right around the corner as well.

But again, Mark, I'll throw it back over to you.

I mean, it's something that, you know, I understand Jack Finley's role from last season, right? As a force, he can penalty kill big body.

But this is a guy in Zach Dean who does bring some speed.
