Oil Kings’ Adam Jecho Fits Well With St. Louis Blues’ Future Plans
The St. Louis Blues are in a weird position heading into the 2024-25 campaign. They have a solid team with decent goaltending and some money available to spend, but they aren’t considered contenders. Some fans around the league have been calling for them to blow the team up and rebuild, but it doesn’t seem like they’re ready to do that just yet. With that being said, the Blues had a strong performance at the 2024 NHL Entry Draft snagging Adam Jiricek in the first round, Colin Ralph and Lukas Fischer in the second round, as well as Ondrej Kos and Adam Jecho in the third round. Jecho, who was selected out of the Western Hockey League (WHL) after a solid season with the Edmonton Oil Kings, could prove to be a steal, as some projections had him going as early as the first round, so the Blues got lucky he fell that far to them.
