Blues have 5 drafts picks in rounds 1-3 in the next 3 drafts

Going to be darks times for a few years.
That sounded good until I looked at the rest of the chart.
Yikes, on the bright side we had a lot between 2022-2024 so if those guys develop as they should we should have a bright young team soon. Think I would rather have Broberg and Holloway than the 3 picks we gave up for them as well.
Does anyone have a breakdown of where they all went?
BIG DICK DO –oh wait, this is the opposite of that. Again.
Why are people freaking out about this? This would be a problem if the Blues weren’t loaded with prospects, but they are.
A very good young core, anchored by Thomas, Kyrou, Broberg, Holloway, Neighbours, and Bolduc. NINE prospects at the WJC, literally more than any other team. Jimmy Snuggerud is literally leading the NCAA in scoring right now.
This team is going to be really good, people just need to relax and be patient.
Sounds fine to me. We used picks to get Broberg and Holloway who figure to be part of this team for a long time and we already have a good prospect pool. Got Dvo, Snuggy, stenberg, and stancl on the way for forwards. Jiricek and Lindstein on the way for defense
This is dire lol
And thus ends the youth movement. Wait for the prospects to devolop and then maybe start again.
I encourage folks to poke around hockey reference, and specifically the draft pages. There just doesn’t tend to be consistent higher end value past the top 40-50 picks. It is not like football, where you would expect a second or third round pick to be a starter. Most guys past pick 40 are depth guys at best.
We have all our 1st. Looks like this year will be top 10. I’ll still be ok if we decided to move that. Dylan Couzens would look pretty good in a Blues uniform.
If I’m reading right, we started with 9 overall, but then:
Gave one up for Broberg
Gave one up for Holloway
Gave one up to dump Hayes
Gave one up for Fowler
Not sure I can argue with any of those moves
I’m ok with this given how the young core is developing. Still not ideal though
We have all our 1st rounders though right?
I’d be worried about this if our pool wasn’t so solid. With another high draft pick this year I feel even better. We have plenty of quantity in the pool, so any missing 2nds or 3rds don’t upset me that much
