The St. Louis Blues finalize their opening-night roster by selecting Dillon Dube and Zach Dean, following a round of roster cuts. Multiple outlets report that forwards won the competition for the remaining spots after the team places Oskar Sundqvist, Nathan Walker and Jack Finley on waivers.
Both sources indicate that Sundqvist, Walker and Finley are exposed to the waiver process as the Blues narrow their lineup. The Athletic frames the situation as a roster projection, while Yahoo Sports reports the outcome as Dean and Dube making the roster. In both accounts, the waiver moves occur on Friday, suggesting the decisions are tied to the final readiness and availability of players as the club prepares for its season opener.
No additional details are provided in the shared excerpts about whether any of the waived players are claimed or reassigned, or about the specific roster spots they fill beyond the general forward competition that determines the final list.
