SB Nation NHL’s Mock Draft is fully underway, providing the perfect distraction from the free agent-drama that’s currently surrounding the St. Louis Blues. We can instead turn our attention to the draft, which is itself surrounded with plenty of angst. But at least it’s a bit more positive. The Blues have the 26th overall pick in this year’s first round.
Making this selection wasn’t very easy. This is an incredibly deep draft class and there were plenty of great players to choose from with the Blues selection. The player that St. Louis GameTime selected was the best of the bunch, though, and could seriously spark the future of the Blues offense.
