Blues win the lottery!
The St. Louis Blues hit the Jackpot last week, winning the 2019 NHL Draft Lottery, giving them the #1 overall pick in this June's DHL draft. Not only that, they also won the #3 pick!
Even though the Blues made the playoffs this year, they had the 1st round picks of NJ, NYI and VGK, after reshuffling their prospect pool last year and gaining additional 1st round picks. The NJ and NYI picks won the lottery, jumping from #3 and #4 to #1 and #3. The Blues also hold the #8 pick, which did not move.
We are very excited for the opportunity to draft a potential franchise altering player. There are 2 elite talents at the top of this draft in Jack Hughes and Kappo Kakko, and the top 10 is loaded with potential 1st liners. With 3 of the top 8 picks, we should be able to significantly improve our already deep prospect pool.
The future is looking bright for this Blues franchise!
