The St. Louis Blues were mostly quiet during the opening day of the 2018 NHL Draft, making one minor trade that allowed them to move up four spots in the first round. They then selected Dominik Bokk with the 25th overall pick, but Blues fans were hoping for a more significant development.
Unfortunately, no trade came to fruition. Instead, the biggest potentially available names – Ilya Kovalchuk, Artemi Panarin and John Tavares – have eliminated the Blues as possible destinations. You can read more about that on The Athletic if you have a subscription.
However, it sounds like the Blues were in talks with three teams during the Draft about a trade.
