Editor’s note: thank you to Tomorrow’s Blues for writing his annual draft re-cap! Unfortunately technical issues are preventing him from publishing this himself, so I’ve stepped in on copy-and-paste duty. The only words that are mine are what I’ve written here. - Hildy
The Stanley Cup Champion St. Louis Blues (we will probably never get tired of saying that) made five total selections in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft this past weekend in Vancouver.
Going into the draft, most observers (including Your GTPD) expected the Blues to focus on drafting defensemen, since as of today that have just three D-prospects signed for San Antonio next season (Niko Mikkola, Mitch Reinke, Jake Walman).
