This season, McDonald played 37 regular season games, contributing seven goals and 21 points. With his St. Louis contract expiring and the team not expected to re-sign him, McDonald now enters retirement with 182 goals and 489 points to his name in 685 games played.","date":"Thu Jun 6"},"fullName":"Andy McDonald","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"McDonald, once again, was a scoring machine for the St. Louis Blues before a head injury cut his season short. In 25 games, McDonald managed 22 points. He will get close to a point per game again this season, but how many games will McDonald play? The fact that he is a lock to be a star forward when healthy means there is reason to take a risk a bit sooner than you might want to with a player who has head-injury troubles. But playing with David Backes and T.J. Oshie has been a perfect situation for McDonald. His playmaking skills combined with the offense and tenacity of Backes and Oshie means the trio can score at will. If you wait until the double-digit rounds of your draft, you are likely in a safe position to consider gambling on McDonald.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Tue Sep 11"},"playerRater30DAY":3.6,"playerRater15DAY":3.8,"positionRank":46}
