"After a quiet evening with no picks in the NHL Draft's first round, the St. Louis Blues did all their draft work Saturday in rounds 2-7.
In the second round, the Blues added two forwards, as well as some defensive help.
St. Louis selected Ty Rattie with the No. 32 pick. Rattie is a right wing most recently at Portland of the Western Hockey League and had 79 points last season.
"He's someone that we liked because of his high skill level," Bill Armstrong, the Blues' director of amateur scouting, said. "Obviously, he's got some work to do as far as his strength, but he has been able to put up points his whole life at every level."
With the 41st pick, St. Louis added another right wing in Dmitrij Jaskin, a Czech Republic-native who most recently played with Slavia Praha. In 33 games, he had three goals and 10 points.
The team added bruising defenseman Joel Edmundson with the 46th selection in the second round.
In the third round, the Blues traded the No. 72 pick to the New York Rangers in exchange for forward Evgeny Grachev. The prospect appeared in eight games for the Rangers last season. In 2009-10, Grachev scored 12 goals and had 28 points for the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League."
