LAST UPDATED 8/20/19
A Blue since he was a teenager, Alex Pietrangelo has been perhaps the most influential and impactful St. Louis Blue ever, surpassing even the team's 20th century greats like Brett Hull. Pietrangelo has established himself as an elite all-around #1 defenseman, and has been the glue keeping the Blues franchise together for years now. Few defensemen are capable of handling the minutes that Pietrangelo plays, and his versatility allows him to be an impact player everywhere on the ice. Pietrangelo is big, has great reach, a strong point shot, and good skating. He's an asset in transition, can help stabilize the power play, and produce offense soundly in the upper middle class of NHL defensemen. Pietrangelo's 40-50 points of offense is combined with his ability to play 25 minutes of tough-as-nails defensive hockey. He can anchor a penalty kill, shelter weaker partners, and be a force along the boards and in the corners. Pietrangelo is a true #1 defenseman, and he's a captain to boot. He's one of the game's most valuable all-around blueliners, pairing intense defensive prowess with high-end mobility, and he's in the process of becoming a legend in St. Louis.
