All right, we admit it: we saw the opportunity for a pun and took it. Wouldn’t you?

St. Louis Blues prospect Vince Dunn hasn’t yet gone “pro” in the NHL sense of the word, though after his performance at camp in early July, it isn’t more than a season or two away. Dunn did, however, suit up in a Go Pro camera for the St. Louis Blues.

However, it wasn’t on the ice.

The Blues took 26 of their prospects to Gateway Kartplex, slapped helmets on them, shoved them into Go Karts (though I’m sure that didn’t take much convincing for many of them) and videotaped the whole thing.

Dunn was the Blues first pick in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, selected no. 56 overall. He’s a terrific defender, and has even shut down first-overall Edmonton Oilers pick, Conner McDavid.

His OHL coach and general manager, Marty Williamson, highlighted his impressive defensive play in an article by the St. Catherine’s Standard.

“There were a couple of games where we matched him up with McDavid and he shut him out and that was kind of steppingstone,” Williamson said. “All of a sudden [he realized] he could be a great defensive defenseman, too. He could shut guys down and we started playing him against top guys. I don’t know if we quite had that confidence at the start of the season but it grew. His offensive talent was always there.”

And the Blues PR team should take a few moments to highlight that ability.

Perhaps they were trying to set Dunn apart from the series developed in conjunction with the NHL and the Go Pro team that was released bit by bit over the season. Perhaps they thought fans wouldn’t be interested in watching Dunn complete an awesome poke-check or feel the same satisfaction at watching him execute a good clear as watching someone score a backhander.

Perhaps they thought we’d like to watch him drive in a circle for five minutes.

While Dunn likely had a good time Go-Karting around, there is very little more boring than watching an elite hockey prospect tool around bright orange barriers for nearly five minutes, set to generic rock background music. It’s like watching a supercut of race scenes from The Fast and the Furious (the first, obviously) without the character development, intrigue, or camera work.

In short, I spent the time wondering why the Blues didn’t strap a camera on Dunn for a 5-minute stickhandling video after the first day of Prospect Camp, or as he shut down opposing forwards.
