Blues Season Preview
The 2010-11 season is set to begin. When GM Meyer was asked about how they felt about this roster going into the season.
"We felt like this team really competed last season. We made very big strides forward and we wanted to reward that as best as we could. We kept the majority of the squad together from last season. A lot of the players were very happy to come back and to keep this team going."
"We reached an agreement with the new Offensive Coach, Matt Lance, to come in and really help develop the younger players and try to help push the special teams from last season."
When asked if there was any adjustments from the leadership groups last season. Meyer stated "No. We want to keep the leadership group intact. Kopitar did a great job in his first season as Captain of this squad. Brown and Giordano will be the ones retaining the Assistant letters going into the season as well. Just because there is someone that is not wearing the letters on their chest during the game, does not mean that they don't step up in other ways. Guys like Backes, Brewer, and Erik Johnson are all leaders on and off the ice."
GM Meyer is entering his 4th season as the GM and HC of this squad. Through that time, he has gone 122-104-20. He enters a new contract season as he was extended on a two year deal this offseason.
