Let's Go Blues

I made mention of a theoretical all time blues draftee team, but apparently the hockey news compiled one in July of 2020

Ill present theirs and then my quibbles and update

lines and D pairs are in order

brind'amour Gilmore tarasenko
oshie federko Schwartz
backes handzus sutter
Maclean ronning Perron

pietrangelo johnson
hedican jackman
parayko siltanen

bishop
liut

I have no major issues with the D, but I'm sure some would take Benning, Brownschidle or even Cole over parayko
id flip the goalies

offense
my first line would be Sutter federko Wayne babich
drop their first to my second
Backes Tage Thompson Oshie
MacLean Handzus Schwartz

Joe Mullen and CuJo not options as they were undrafted free agents

never mind.... didn't realize Meahger wasn't a draftee.

Looking at stuff, who knew the Blues drafted Alain Vigneault back in 1981? Yes, the one who became a coach.

Perron and Schwartz are hard.

Perron after 30 has been ridiculously good.
Shwartz has always been massively inconsistent in terms of day-to-day play. He's super streaky.

I'd have Perron over Schwartz, but that's a tough call.

Thompson over Ronning with the way Thompson has exploded is easy, but in 2020, Thompson hadn't exploded.
