If no trades what position do you address in 5th round?

We need to replenish our goalie ranks. Not a bad pick to use for goaler. Louis Antoine Denault. 6'8" monster with the Remparts.

I was thinking along those lines, not player-specific. Also, if the Blues need a goaltender in a certain age group they have plenty of assets to trade.

You always take best available and use trades to balance out needs.

I would think they'd pick up what they see as the best player still there, right?

I am definitely in favor of taking a developmental goalie this year. Just don’t know if that should be round 5 or 6. Personally, I like Goos(at work so I can’t really follow today’s picks that closely; don’t know if he’s still available).

This is right in theory. But how often do we actually see prospect for prospect trades to balance out needs? We have a ton of LW now (and for a while), but haven’t traded any of them. That’s why I am okay taking the BPA at a need (unless it is an obvious reach). But if guys are ranked similarly, I am erring on the side of system need for sure.

We were in a position of needing to restock everything a couple years ago. Now we have built depth in certain areas and can trade from it. It doesn’t need to be a prospect for prospect. It can be a couple prospects and or picks for an established NHL player in an area of need. Or a NHL player(s) in areas of depth for a player of need.

Swed Dman Karl Annborn would be a pretty good get if still around. Or Slovak C Jan Chovan? OHL RWer Harry Nansi?

IMO

Denault and Goos still around.


4 Q goalies have gone and Denault is not one of them.

[thegibby.]

Blues pick RWer Mikhail Fyodorov.

[thegibby.]

..and Owen Griffin still available.

[thegibby.]

Harry Nansi to Toronto at 153.

[b-a-a-a-rclay]

Blues pick RWer Mikhail Fyodorov.

152 lbs ... must be very offensively gifted.

[thegibby.]

They're praising up Viktor Klingsell. one guy had him going in the 50's. Kinda surprised we didn't grab him with Steen onboard. went to the Jets at 156.

I trust our team with the Russian.

LGB!

[thegibby.]

G Mans Goos to Dallas at 158.

C Owen Griffin to Columbus at 160.

Not especially.
Amazing skater but not that great with the puck.
That said, he's got more than a little Dingo in his game. Absolute ping-pong ball of hate on the ice.
