The St. Louis Blues, like all teams, are in the constant struggle to build a championship team for the here and now, while walking the tightrope of keeping your team viable for the future. While the Blues have yet to win that championship, we can take no credit away from the guys that have built toward the future every single year.
One of the most difficult things in sports is to continually build a high-quality team when you are constantly drafting in the middle portions each year. That is exactly what the St. Louis Blues have been doing over the 2010’s and, with a few misses here or there, they have done a phenomenal job.
