This is what I had in mind with my comment. Top 10 picks are in a category by themselves.

Really liking Justin Barron. I wonder if he will be around when we pick? https://thehockeywriters.com/justin-barron-2020-nhl-draft-prospect-profile/
Would be cool to acquire another 1st somehow for Bill Armstrong to work with, especially if it’s his last draft with the Blues. Maybe trading Dunn?

Really? I admit, I have only seen snippets of his play, but I have read quite a bit about him. What do you not like about his play?

Doing a quick search he was one of a few candidates for the Panthers GM job.

Sorry just saw this, i thought he was really bad in his own zone and was not good with the puck when under any sort of pressure and didn't physically engage defensively whatsoever. Feels like a career AHL type of D that will put up some point

With the Boston losing tonight, the Blues appear to be locked into the 26th overall pick. Unless they have changed the draft order for playoff teams, Picks 28-31 will be the Conference finalists and the Bruins will pick 27th.

Someone quoted a web site nobody ever heard of that said we were 23rd. Not positive but I think Mook is right on this.

For the last several years the teams eliminated in the first two rounds of the playoffs were seeded 16-27 in the draft based on regular season points. I haven’t seen any credible reports that this season will be done differently.

That was me. My bad, I quoted a website that was geared towards the blackhawks.
I'll go to bed without dinner.

Anyone like William Wallinder? 6’4” LHD. Plus skater and has a smooth calming presence like Petro in the d zone.

He is another possibility. I have read that he needs to work on his defensive game. I have a hunch, that with his size and skating, he will go earlier than predicted.
I don't have a lot of confidence in our goaltending moving forward. Binnington seems at least durable enough to run out there for 50-games/year and play at a capable/above-average level...but Husso and Hofer are huge question marks, even if they've got promise. Maybe the Russian, Zherenko, is the long-term future...but I'm still all aboard drafting Askarov (somehow) and handing him the reins in 3-years (if he proves as good as the scouts believe) for full-time duties spanning the next decade-plus.

That's a lot of projection on Zherenko. He still has a lot to prove and he hasn't even made it to NA yet.
Hofer, on the other hand, had really solid numbers in the WHL last year. He just turned 20 and will probably challenge Fitzpatrick for the starter role in Springfield if Husso sticks with the Blues.
I like that all of the guys coming up are bigger (Hofer is listed at 6'3" on our roster but 6'5" on the Portland roster) as I think Binnington's downfall, if he has one, will be due at least in part to lack of size to cover for errors in positioning.
Not at all sold on Askarov. He was terrible at WJC. Goalies are so hard to project it is generally a mistake to spend #1 on them. Let someone else take that risk.
