Day Two Of 2010 NHL Draft; GDT
With a surprise trade of last year's No. 1 pick David Rundblad to Ottawa to draft Russian Vladimir Tarasenko, the Blues were one of a small group of aggressive teams (Florida maneuvered into three first-round picks) during the first round of the 2010 NHL draft. With 30 picks in the books, there's a lot more to go today. A lot more.
I think there are a few important points about the St. Louis Blues that we learned last night during the draft. First of all, they clearly identified a need to get depth at forward, especially players with a history of scoring as a young player. All the talk about best player on the board and not ruling out a defenseman or goaltender was just smoke and not substance. So while we feel certain that the Blues are faithful to their core philosophies on player development and drafting, it shows they're flexible when they need to be. That's pretty refreshing.
Under John Davidson, the Blues have not been shy about trading young players and prospects in a way that shows another facet of their organizational philosophy. They obviously make decisions about players' ceilings and perceived value across the league. And when those two beliefs don't jive, they act. We don't know if the Lars Eller or Rundlbad or Aaron Palushaj trades will work out for the Blues or not, but they all fall in a similar category of the Blues making a decision about a player and sticking with it.
Under Jarmo Kekalainen, the Blues were not afraid to stick to their ratings of players and avoid conventional wisdom. They were mocked when they took T.J. Oshie in the first round. Most fans questioned taking another European defenseman in the first round last year. They bypassed some players more highly thought of in NHL draft circles and took the guys they wanted. Those kinds of picks smell like a team trying to be smarter than everyone else. The risk is that they're not smarter than everyone else. Jaden Schwartz has scored as an amateur. He's a tad under-sized but could still be growing. He's the kind of player not on other teams' radars that the Blues really like.
As we stand, the Blues have five more picks in the next 134 selections. More things could be happening. Don't rule out another trade. When the picks are made, we'll have stories up with analysis. Until then, hang here and talk NHL Draft. You commented last night like it was a regular season game. Now we've got back-to-back games. Hope you're rested. Coverage starts on NHL Network at noon CDT with I believe some streaming happening at NHL.com. Comment like it's too hot to go outside. Because it probably is.

Pitching a tent
Take a look at that picture of Schwartz. The Blues sweater looks like a 5 person tent on this kid. Maybe we could smuggle a couple of extra prospects out of L.A. by hiding them under the jersey.
Still, he and “THE TANK” look and sound like solid draft picks. Good-by Jarmo, I have a feeling we will miss you more than we know.
Can someone post a link to watch the proceedings online...
…for those of us who don’t have the NHL Network.
I can follow on NHL.com and TSN.ca, but having to refresh every five minutes kinda sucks.
Danke schoen,

Do we take the next big Russian, Kabanov?
by Randall Ritchey on Jun 26, 2010 11:53 AM CDT reply actions
imho
you only take fallen russians
most of them have the discount for problem getting them here built into their aggrigate ranking, so if they falleven further down AND you have confidence in your abilty to get him here (which the blues really shouldnt have at this stage of their existance) then you end up getting a draft “steal”.
i mean this
""If Kabanov stayed in Russia, even with all that uncertainty about contracts and the KHL, I still think he would have gone somewhere in the first 12 picks," said a scouting director for a Western Conference team. “Now that he’s demonstrated the commitment to play in North America, he could go in the top five — maybe the top three.”By Christopher Botta

i'm not sure we're really arguing with each other here
my point is, I don’t see a reason not to take a gamble on a kabanov in the second round, that’s all. Backes was obviously a great pick, but just like any 2nd rounder, its anyones guess how they turn out, so I would of liked to go for a guy with a tremendous amount of talent who has the possibility of turning his life around rather than someone with a lack of talent but not a headcase. I think we have a lot of high character players to build around, but we don’t have a ton of superstar potential.
and again, everyone in the 2nd round has such a high bust potential
I felt the reward was easily worth the risk
Agreed on the bust potential...
I pointed that out in one of the pre-draft analyses I did that the second round had the highest number of players selcted by the Blues that weren;t with the organization any more.
