Jimmy Snuggerud said it was one of the hardest decisions he’s ever had to make, and it weighed on him for days.

It was agonizing and at times quite stressful for the 20-year-old St. Louis Blues forward prospect, but the No. 23 pick in the 2022 NHL Draft felt it was the right choice at the right time.

Snuggerud was deeply contemplating making the jump from the University of Minnesota to the NHL. What were the pros and cons of doing so right now? Was it the right time? Was he ready? Those were among the questions he had to ask himself.

After deliberation for five long days, with help from family -- including his father, former NHL forward Dave Snuggerud -- he decided to return to college for his junior season.
