We chat with Red Berenson about his late, long-time friend and hockey buddy on this one. — Goalies were picked first in the 60s expansion draft, but after that, Jimmy Roberts became the first skater picked by the Blues to start their franchise. Jimmy played a key role in the early success of the team. He also played with Cup winning teams in Montreal. Roberts was also a valued assistant coach with the Blues in the late 1990s. He was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 2025. Enjoy!
