The St. Louis Blues have decided not to make Alex Pietrangelo an assistant captain. Pietrangelo wore the 'A' after the trade deadline last season when the Blues made some trade and were struck with some injuries but have decided to let the 21-year-old just concentrate on his terrific play. The Blues used the same strategy with David Backes a few years ago and named him the captain on Friday at the age of 27. Peitrangelo was the fourth overall pick in the 2008 Entry Draft and came into his own last season with 11 goals and 43 points and then followed it up with two goals and five points for Team Canada in the World Championships in May, leading the tournament with a plus-nine rating. Look for Pietrangelo to become a top-five fantasy defeneseman in the next couple of years.
