Interestingly, one of the most asked questions about the Blues’ young prospects this year is which jersey number they’ll wear.
Players like David Perron, T.J. Oshie, Patrik Berglund and Alex Pietrangelo are given unconventional numbers when they arrive at training camp, and often want to change those numbers once they’ve made the roster. But as rookies, they don’t want to make waves or bring any attention to themselves.

T.J. Oshie will keep 74.
According to a the St. Louis Post-Dispatch article it looks like Sioux fans can buy the Blues jersey with the "74" on the back of it because Oshie has decided to stick with the number he had in training camp. I look to see them popping up in the Sioux shop at REA soon.
