As the defending Stanley Cup Champions, it should come as no surprise that the Blues prospect depth chart is on the thin side.
However, there are a few factors that are the cause and not at all bad ones. The Blues did trade their 2019 first-round pick to Buffalo in a deal that had a lot to do with their Cup win as the Blues added Conn Smyth winner Ryan O’Reilly.
The Blues have also graduated several key prospects that no longer qualify as prospects and are now contributing members on the NHL roster. Robert Thomas and Jordan Kyrou top that list.
