The St. Louis Blues wrapped up their annual prospect camp on Thursday. First and foremost, the four-day camp was an opportunity for the players who have spent little or no time as professionals to get acclimated to the pro routine, work out and go through meetings off the ice, and get some on-ice exposure in front of the Blues’ front office, coaches, media, and fans. While not all of the prospects who were invited to the camp did a whole lot to stand out, there were a few who really took advantage of the opportunity.

Here’s a grade for each prospect who participated in the duration of the Blues’ prospect camp, along with a quick assessment of their current standing within the organization and what they need to do better in order to have a chance of reaching the NHL.
