Snuggerud’s All-Rookie Nod Is the Easy Call

Snuggerud didn’t just land on the All-Rookie list - he made it look inevitable. The real story here is how quickly he forced the league to stop treating him like a nice young piece and start treating him like a real factor. In a sport where rookie hype usually ages about as well as a milk carton in July, this one feels earned. The Blues have to like what they see, because players who get this kind of recognition this fast usually change a room before they change a stat sheet.
