STLToday.com asked the Blues panel of reporters about who will surprise at camp. Consensus says Nikita Nikitin. With several seasons of professional level play in the KHL, Nikitin playing well shouldn’t be that big of a surprise. My vote goes to Mark Cundari. Someone on few radars but has continued to improve over the last two years.
