Prospect Info: Blues 2021 draft

[rumrokh]

I never understand why it’s popular to just crap on Pronman. He has his biases, much like Button, much like Saxon, and much like everyone else. Be aware of his biases and read his write ups to understand what he sees. Much like how one should read all write ups. It’s just silly to crap on one and act like the others don’t have the same issue.

It's because Pronman's preferences don't map to reality. Why "be aware" of his biases when you can just ignore him and get better opinions from other sources?

Dallas was confident they could get Johnston without any games played. And picked up a haul of picks to do it! Very good haul by them, and I think Johnston will be a good player for them

I just want to say that I don't hate the Bolduc pick. I think he will be a solid asset for the Blues. My frustration comes from the fact that upon my own research this year I felt like there were several superior picks available. I still think whoever takes Lambos will get the steal of the draft. Lambos is a top 10 pick that fell due to injury.

I don't think it was JUST the injury. From what I read he struggled a bit on the ice before the injury ever happened. That said, it was a weird year and it couldn't have been easy traveling to a foreign country and playing juniors there.

FWIW I was hoping we would take Lambos too. Bolduc was never really on my radar, but I'm looking forward to learning more about him and following his development.

Sure would be great if we could figure out a way to finagle a 2nd and take Kirsanov...

I mean, lots of other teams are passing on Lambos too; it’s not just the Blues

The pick of the draft might be me picking up one of these Triburst lights

Agreed. There's a reason why he has fallen this far. Maybe that reason hasn't made it through the media. Who knows. I'll reserve judgement myself as I haven't done a ton of research into the prospects this year.

I thought the blues would trade the pick. We will see what happens throughout the rest of the first round I guess.

 

[Oberyn]

Hardly any D being taken in this draft, none since the top 10.

 

[tfriede2]

The other D-man just went before him...sheesh

He was 28-31 on several different rankings. #16 is about as high as he was ranked. So its not all that unexpected he fell this far.

 

[Blueline2757]

f***. WILD TAKE LAMBOS

 

[mk80]

Well Lambos' fall has ended

 

[Majorityof1]

There is a trade brewing. With Lambos gone, is there anyone else someone would want the Blues to trade in to grab?

Why do you say trade brewing?

Canes trading their pick

I think they said it on the broadcast before they went to commercial. I thought I heard "There might be a trade brewing". Maybe I imagined it

I heard it too.

Nashville - targeting chibrikov?

 

[puckerdude10]

Really wanted Ceulemans, was hoping we could move back and take him or after taking Bolduc move up into the draft to snag him. I think Columbus did well there. Between him and Boqvist they potentially rebuilt their top 4 RHD in one day (obviously a couple years out to develop).

Hoping Bolduc turns out to be a solid top 6 center for us and maybe we add some additional picks to refill the cupboard.

"In a weird series of events, the Blues trade for the 28th pick to re-draft... Dominik Bokk??"

 

[mk80]

That's a very gritty pick for the Predators.

 

[Majorityof1]

Can you imagine if the Blues announced the pick from a brewery in front of fans from this board? Lol Colorado fans all cheered. Everyone would be tearing Army apart if he tried that.

 

[Novacain]

It really feels like the Blue Jackets really won today. I usually hate declaring winners and losers on draft day, but in one day they lost Seth Jones, and gained Adam Boqvist, Jake Bean, Kent Johnson, Cole Sillinger, and Corson Ceulemans. Huge day for them.

 

[Novacain]

And there goes Stillman's kid.

 

[mk80]

Logan Mailloux to the Habs... that is a nightmare like the Arizona pick last season
