The St. Louis Blues have made their intentions known that they are in the running to sign a backup goalie when free agency opens.
The draft is another option, but it is rare that any netminder enters the NHL right after being selected, or St. Louis could acquire someone in a trade. The Blues are ready to utilize Chris Mason as their starter, but a dependable veteran backup is on their to-do list. "He's the guy right now," Blues President John Davidson said referring to Mason. "I want him to have the mind-set that he's the guy. Chris is a very well-respected member of our team, and that's important. We expect Chris to get the job done."
