There are expectations for GM Doug Armstrong to strategically plan for the future, enhancing an already impressive group of skilled prospects. Most 2024 Mock Draft predictions suggest that Armstrong will prioritize addressing defensive woes early on.
Anything can happen as the draft progresses into day two (Saturday), including more trades or selecting offensive weapons that can be developed at a lower league level.
The St. Louis Blues are investing in a young and promising future, anchored by star Robert Thomas and upcoming players Jake Neighbours, Dalibor Dvorsky, and Jimmy Snuggerud, with an impressive number of picks in back-to-back drafts.
In last year's draft, Armstrong chose three players in the first round, including Dvorsky as the 10th pick, followed by Otto Stenberg at 25th overall, and Theo Lindstein at 29th overall.
