The St. Louis Blues got their bang for the buck when it came to their first round in the 2017 NHL Draft. They had two selections and made some big trades.
The Blues definitely addressed some needs via their first round picks. They got a talented, two-way center in Robert Thomas. They also got one of the highest rated prospects in Klim Kostin.
Once Kostin was selected, however, it would be another three rounds before the Blues would get the chance to select again. They did not look too far from their previous pick to make their next one.
