The St. Louis Blues announced today that they have signed second-rounder Jordan Kyrou to a three-year entry-level contract. Kyrou was the Blues’ second pick, 35th overall.

Kyrou played the last two seasons for the Sarnia Sting of the OHL, putting up 87 points in 128 games. Already an elite skater, Kyrou needs to fill out into his 6’0″ frame to become the two-way force that many think he can be.

While he’ll probably never become a legitimate first line center, many believed that Kyrou could go in the first-round at this year’s draft, and see him as a definite NHL contributor should he continue on his current development path. He’ll head back to Sarnia for another season, and look to lead a team who will be losing top-prospects Pavel Zacha and Travis Konecny (and perhaps Jakob Chychrun).
