The St. Louis Blues have drafted effectively under GM Doug Armstrong, focusing on a best-available strategy. Their offensive future looks promising with top talent like Robert Thomas, Dalibor Dvorsky, Jordan Kyrou, and Jimmy Snuggerud. However, their defensive pipeline lacks top-end talent. They recently drafted Theo Lindstein, but more work is needed. The Blues must prioritize bolstering their defense for their rebuild to succeed. It will be a challenging but necessary task for Armstrong to rebuild the team on solid defensive footing.
