"Jimmy Snuggerud Commits to Gophers for 2024-25 Season"
St. Louis Blues' prospect Jimmy Snuggerud, the team's first-round pick in the 2022 NHL Draft, has decided to return to the University of Minnesota for his junior season instead of turning pro for the 2024-25 season. The 19-year-old forward had a successful sophomore season with the Golden Gophers, scoring 21 goals in 39 games and earning 34 points. The Blues support his decision and look forward to his continued development, while retaining his rights until August 2026.
