The St. Louis Blues drafted Evan Fitzpatrick with the 59th overall pick in the second round of the 2016 NHL Draft. The Blues have drafted a netminder in each of the last three drafts and in five of the last six years.
While some have yet to make their names known among the NHL ranks, the Blues have actually been fairly decent at drafting goaltenders in recent history. At the very least, they’ve had more success than in the team’s past.
If you look at our list of top draft picks of all time by the Blues, Mike Liut is currently the only goaltender on the list.
