Opilka (hip) announced his retirement from professional hockey due to lingering hip issues, St. Louis announced Monday.
ANALYSIS
Drafted by the Blues in the fifth round of the 2015 NHL Draft, the St. Louis native went 40-24-6 while playing for OHL Kitchener, with his last game coming during the 2016-17 campaign. Opilka underwent a pair of hip surgeries to help address hip dysplasia, but ultimately was unable to fully recover and return to the ice.

2017 Fantasy Outlook
A 2015 fifth-round pick, Opilka was added to the Blues’ roster for depth during last year’s playoffs, but he spent the entire run watching from the press box. The 20-year-old netminder has played the last two seasons in the Ontario Hockey League, posting unimpressive stats -- including last year’s awful .889 save percentage and 3.58 GAA -- making it obvious that Opilka will need a lot more development in the minors before he’s ready for big-league action.
