St. Louis Blues defenseman Matthew Kessel is off the board.

Not that the 25-year-old was ever on the board, but he made it official recently on his Instagram account that he's engaged to be married to girlfriend Allie.

Kessel, a fifth-round pick in the 2020 NHL Draft, played in 29 games for the Blues last season and had three assists; he has 10 points (one goal, nine assists) in 70 games spanning three seasons in the NHL.

Do you think Kessel can earn more playing time in St. Louis soon or will it be hard for him to grab much more playing time with the ascension of Tyler Tucker and acquisition of Logan Mallioux from the Montreal Canadiens? Share your vote in the poll above.
