How the St Louis Blues team was constructed:

Mostly through drafting and development with some recent aggressive trading:

It all started 11 years ago when they drafted Alex Pietrangelo 4th overall in 2008, one of their highest picks after 1st overall Erik Johnson in 2006 who was traded 3 years later for Shattenkirk ++)

2010 Schwartz #14, Tarasenko #16 (pick acquired from Ottawa for David Rundblad).
2011 Edmundson #46, Binnington #88 (pick acquired from Tampa for Eric Brewer).
2012 Parayko #86
2014 Barbashev #33, Blais #176
2015 Dunn #56
2017 Thomas #20

About a million small trades, and here are the notables;

Trades:

2008 - Stempniak, Colaiacovo traded for Steen

2013 - Jay Bouwmeester acquired from Flames for a 1st, 4th, Cundari, Berra.

2015 - traded Cole for Bortuzzo

Started to get aggressive in 2017 onwards, alot of 1st round picks traded for or acquired:

2017 - acquired 1st, 2nd Sanford, Malone giving up Shattenkirk, Copley.

Traded Reaves and a 2nd for Oskar Sundqvist + 1st (boom).

Traded Lehtera, 1st, cond 1st for Brayden Schenn.

2018 - big sell, traded Paul Stastny for Foley, 1st, 4th at trade deadline.

July 1st Acquired big man Ryan O'Reilly for Sobotka, Berglund, Thompson, 1st, 2nd.

UFA's: Maroon, Perron, Bozak.

Sanford - ROR - Perron

Blais - Sundqvist - Steen

Ryan O'Reilly is the first player to score in four straight Stanley Cup Final games since Wayne Gretzky in 1985.

It all started 11 years ago
That's about right for length of a rebuild. They moved on from the Pronger era and the 25-straight playoff appearances, went into the toilet, and it took them 11 years from when they drafted their franchise player.

Too bad people here don't have that kind of patience. :drink:

He's always struck me as the kind of guy his own teammates would hate and be embarrassed by, and now that choke-job lazy play on the Cup-winning goal will firmly put the goat horns on his rat-face.

And the Blues were so close to blowing it all up mid-season as BobMac said on TSN, as they were dead last in the league, getting ready to draft a top 4 overall pick.

Gonna deal off Alex Pietrangelo, Tarasenko, everyone was gonna be available lol, it's actually pretty insane the "flip the switch"
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.
