The St. Louis Blue were highly expected to make a trade at the 2018 NHL Entry Draft. That was the move they made that was completely expected.
However, in typical Blues fashion, they did the unexpected as well. They ended up making a pick in the first round.
St. Louis merely traded picks, trading two later picks to move up. They ended up with the 25th overall pick instead of the 29th.
With the 25th pick, the Blues selected German forward, Dominik Bokk. It was not a bad pick, but it was surprising that no further moves were made given all the chatter going in.
