Funny you should mention that. The Blues drafted Thomas with their own pick at the same draft they traded two 1sts to Philly for Brayden Schenn.
They were able to do that because despite being a competitive 90+ point team they still sold at back to back deadlines. They dealt Shattenkirk to the Caps at the 2017 deadline, and Stastny to the Jets at the 2018 deadline.
They then used the surplus of picks at the next two drafts to get Schenn and ROR.
Armstrong looks like a genius now.
