Barring any changes, the St. Louis Blues will be selecting 19th overall in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft. The Blues will certainly be hoping to hit with this pick, especially when noting that they won't select again after it until the fifth round.

With this draft being a bit of a wild card, it will be fascinating to see who the Blues end up selecting. They have multiple areas that they should be looking to improve, and there are going to be some intriguing names for them to consider once they are on the clock because of it.

The Athletic's Corey Pronman recently released a 2025 NHL mock draft where he made predictions for every single pick. When it came to the 19th overall pick, Pronman sees the Blues selecting defenseman Cameron Reid.

Reid, 18, is viewed as one of the top defensemen in this year's draft class, so he would certainly be a good player for the Blues to select if they have the chance to. The 6-foot blueliner has the tools to blossom into a top-four NHL defenseman, so he could be a good fit on a Blues club that could use another exciting defensive prospect.

Reid spent the 2024-25 season with the Kitchener Rangers of the Ontario Hockey League. He took a nice step forward this season, as he set new OHL career highs with 14 goals, 40 assists, 54 points, and a plus-39 rating in 67 games. This was after he had two goals and 23 points in 49 games with Kitchener last season.

Overall, Reid has been an impactful two-way defenseman at the junior level, so he could be a nice pickup for the Blues. It will be intriguing to see if he ends up being who the Blues select with their first-round pick from here.
