Patrik Berglund

Stop for a second and think back to the 2008-09 season. The Blues used a surge through the end of the season to catapult the team to a playoff berth. At the time, the “Kid Line” was running wild through each team it played and causing migraines for anyone that stood in their way. Comprised of TJ Oshie, David Perron and Patrik Berglund, fans believed they had three stars in the making.

The answer may surprise you.

In his rookie season back in 2008-09, Berglund finished fifth on the Blues in total points with 47 trailing only Brad Boyes, David Backes, David Perron and Keith Tkachuk. He netted an impressive 21 goals over the course of 76 games that season which led fans to believe he could be the next big thing in St. Louis alongside the other fan favorites of Oshie and Perron.
