The NHL is probably up to their waist with problems, issues and ideas how to solve this unexpected work stoppage due to the current pandemic. The St. Louis Blues are still hoping to defend their Stanley Cup, but, like the 30 other teams, they do have to plan on the future.
Part of that future is the NHL Entry Draft. As most fans know, this is a yearly process that sees each team draft prospects from college, Canadian or American Junior leagues or, sometimes, even from Europe and Russia.
This is how you build most teams. 12 of the Blues on the team when the season stopped, if you count Vladimir Tarasenko, were drafted by the team.
