2021 third-round pick gets three-year, two-way contract after helping Swedish club win title
ST. LOUIS -- The Swede train continues its route to St. Louis.
Just 24 hours after inking a pair of players from the Swedish Hockey League to entry-level contracts, the Blues on Wednesday signed forward Simon Robertsson to a three-year, two-way entry-level contract.
Robertsson, 21, was selected by the Blues in the third round of the 2021 NHL Draft.
The signing comes in the heels of the Blues signing forward Marcus Sylvegard to a one-year, entry-level contract and defenseman Samuel Johannesson to a two-year, entry-level contract on Tuesday.
Robertsson played in 27 regular-season games for Skelleftea AIK in the SHL last season and helped them win the SHL championship; he had four points (two goals, two assists) and another two points (one goal, one assist) in 15 postseason games.
Robertsson, who has spent the past five seasons in the SHL (20 points; 14 goals, six assists) and played in 121 regular-season games, played for his native Sweden at the 2023 U-20 World Junior Championship, collecting one goal and one assist in seven games.
