Blues GM Doug Armstrong will be looking to acquire a depth forward or two during the 2011 NHL entry draft. The Blues were hit hard by long-term injuries last season and they want to be better prepared for a similar situation in 2010-11. "Your depth is not only what you have on opening night, but when you have those two or three injuries, what are you putting on the ice?" Armstrong asked. "What you need is you need NHL-ready replacement players. Someone that knows how to play the position, knows how to play in big games, knows how to navigate through those difficult times of the year and can lend that experience." If they can't trade for a depth forward, they will look for them during the free agent period.
