I wouldn't read too much into them looking to place him somewhere last season. Vegas took over the affiliation with the Chicago Wolves last season and the Blues didn't have a permanent AHL affiliate. They had an agreement to send some players to San Antonio, but otherwise needed to find other places for their players to play.
