St. Louis Blues NHL Draft guide: Picks, best fits and analysis
The St. Louis Blues have three picks in the 2025 NHL Draft: Nos. 19, 147, 179. Here's what to expect. If the Blues keep the No. 19 pick, they feel confident they can get a quality center or defensive prospect. They would be ecstatic if the options included center Cole Reschny or defensemen Cameron Reid or Logan Hensler. Advertisement 'There's probably two or three different tranches of elite players, and then you go down,' Blues general manager Doug Armstrong said. 'At 19, we think there's a good tier of players there that we can get.' If the Blues decided to trade down from the No. 19 pick, they could gain another draft pick in the deal. They are entering the night with just three selections, so the additional capital would be welcome. — Jeremy Rutherford I thought defense was the Blues' biggest need going into the last draft, and they picked defenders with each of their first three picks. They have a great center prospect in Dalibor Dvorsky, but it falls off after him, and there isn't much coming at center otherwise. In recent mock drafts, Corey Pronman has projected the following picks: 19. Cameron Reid, D 147. Everett Baldwin, D 179.
