Dvorsky’s time may be running out as a replacement is waiting

Writer Charlie Balestra argues that St. Louis Blues center Dalibor Dvorsky could face an AHL demotion following limited playing time and offensive struggles. Dvorsky has managed just 24 points through his first 84 NHL games, with head coach Jim Montgomery openly criticizing his offensive output while limiting him to an average of 12:34 of ice time this season.

Balestra suggests that potential replacements like Jack Finley or Justin Carbonneau could take Dvorsky's place in the lineup. While a demotion to Springfield would not end the 21-year-old's NHL career, Balestra compares his trajectory to past prospects Jordan Kyrou and Klim Kostin, noting that time is running out for Dvorsky to turn his performance around.
