Blues Bet Big on McTavish

The St. Louis Blues pulled off a bold trade, sending two first-round picks to Anaheim for center Mason McTavish, betting big on his rebound after a rough season. They also drafted two more centers, Tynan Lawrence and Maddox Dagenais, reinforcing their focus on center depth—even if it means slight neglect of defense. Both rookies will spend time in college or junior leagues, fitting the Blues’ proven development model. With nine picks left, the team still has room to add talent, especially on defense, as they continue building for the future. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
