TBH, I don't get what the Blues did
Now, I want to preface the following by saying that I normally think the best option is to always draft "your guy", regardless of cost.
However, I can't believe:
i) the Blues didn't take 12+14 to the draft
They need speed and delivery and in a deep draft, they had two really good swings at it
OR
ii) use one of the picks to get Houston and the other to draft a young gun
I think either option (depending on who they picked) makes them better next year.
Houston almost makes them flag favourites.

They also gave away Owies and Kennedy (although not directly tied to pick 3) - add this to their 2024 first, 2025 1st+2nd
All for pick 3

Funny if it's a bust
