The St. Louis Blues made the first significant post-Olympic roster freeze move on Saturday afternoon.
With the NHL on pause for the Olympics, the Blues made a waiver claim that could be hinting at something bigger. St. Louis picked up forward Jack Finley off the waiver wire from the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The Bolts placed the 23-year-old Finley on the waiver Friday afternoon. He had until Saturday afternoon to clear, but the Blues plucked him before the 3 pm EST deadline.
Now, what precisely that bigger move might be remains to be seen.
