Good news: A legendary Boston PWHL player has accepted a proposal from the all-time great player for the St. Louis Blues.
Jordan Kyrou could end up being the top scorer for the Blues in the upcoming campaign. With back-to-back seasons of over 70 points scored, the 24-year-old concluded the 2022–2023 season with 73 points (37 goals, 36 assists) in 79 games. Vladimir Tarasenko, the Blues’ seasoned sniper, is no longer with the team, so Kyrou will be considered one of the team’s primary shooters.
