The St. Louis Blues are a team to control heading into the draft<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Andy Strickland<\/strong><\/a>: Darren Dreger on the Hockey Sense podcast on the St. Louis Blues being a team to look at heading into the 2026 NHL draft. They\u2019d wish to move up and will package No. 11 and No. 15, and would must add a player in the event that they wish to go as high as No. 2.<\/p>\n

Strickland: \u201cAre you hearing anything on (Jordan) Kyrou, for instance? Anything like Blues related, from a, are you there yet? Like, where, are you specializing in any of those guys who might be potentially get traded across the draft? Are we too early for that?<\/p>\n

The St. Louis Blues are a Retool and never a Rebuild<\/a><\/p>\n

Dreger: \u201cSomewhat bit early, but I did hear this week that St. Louis is trying hard to maneuver up within the draft. And there appears to be at the least some willingness from San Jose\u2019s perspective to think about moving that pick.<\/p>\n

So, imagine if the Blues could, could work out a method to utilize their first-round picks to maneuver up. There\u2019d be a player, I believe, that might must be attached. , perhaps they take a crack at (Ivar) Stenberg, if, if he\u2019s available.There\u2019s lots of buzz around Caleb Malhotra, Manny Malhotra<\/a>\u2018s son, , who most think Vancouver wish to get their hands on the three spot.<\/p>\n

But there, there does appear to be a growing sense that. After which, amongst other things, right, perhaps, perhaps the Blues revisit a few of the conversations that they’d with Buffalo across the trade deadline.<\/p>\n

There was something big brewing with the Anaheim Geese and the St. Louis Blues around that very same time. There was something big brewing and the pieces just didn\u2019t fall within the place. So again, perhaps there\u2019s something there.<\/p>\n

But I\u2019d control, on the Blues attempting to move up as high as they possibly can get in the primary round.<\/p>\n

Could There be a Fit for the St. Louis Blues and San Jose Sharks with the No. 2 Pick?<\/a><\/p>\n

Yeah, okay. 11 and 15, moving those two. You\u2019re not gonna move those two to get to number two, but to your point, you\u2019d must attach a top quality, quality piece with those draft picks.<\/p>\n
