Like any good team in sports, especially one in the middle of a championship window, the St. Louis Blues are keeping an eye on their future. Those that live only in the present are doomed to fall off the cliff eventually and the Blues are attempting to avoid that.
St. Louis does not have the cold-hearted mentality of the New England Patriots or the superstar to build around like the Chicago Bulls of the 1990’s or the current Pittsburgh Penguins. Nevertheless, they aspire to be like those teams by planning for the next year and sometimes the year after that.
