E148: Which players should the Blues draft this week? - Final 2026 NHL Draft Preview

We're going to talk about other players that are available around 11.

We have talked about a few already, so we're going to mention a couple more that we haven't gotten the chance to discuss yet.

We're going to talk about a couple of players that could be available around 15th, a couple that could rise up the board or be available Later in the first round, like around the Blues pick at 29th.

And then apparently we're going to talk about Jordan Cairo being traded.

I had other stuff to talk about, but that's secondary to this.

So we will hopefully get to that.

The draft is this week on June 26th and 27th in Buffalo, New York.

The blues have three picks in the first round, um, three picks in the third round, uh, and then some, some later picks as well.

Uh, their first round picks are 11th, 15th and 29th as blues fans know.

Um, And the players we've discussed previously, actually, before we get to that, I do want to say our plan is to have another episode out on Saturday.

So I guess technically day two of the draft.

But since the Blues currently don't have any second round picks, we won't have as much to say past the first round.

So our plan is to have an episode the very next day reacting to the Blues draft.

uh first round picks or you know whatever they end up doing in the first round um so stay tuned for that that'll be out as i said probably saturday afternoon so if you want to stay tuned for that coverage be sure to subscribe on youtube follow rate review on spotify and apple we're on socials as well instagram twitter and tiktok um i wonder if the blues end up getting an additional first round pick uh, in return for Cairo, the capitals are picking 16th though, right after that pick that the blues have.

So, you know, maybe not.

Um, but that's all speculation at this point.
