The St. Louis Blues failed to make it past the first round for the third consecutive season, and their season can be looked at as a colossal failure. This year's script was the same as the last two, as the Blues ultimately were eliminated in six games. The Minnesota Wild were the team's weakest playoff opponent of the last three seasons, and by all accounts the Blues should have been able to beat them.
When St. Louis lost to the Los Angeles Kings and Chicago Blackhawks, there was some blow back, but to a degree it was understood why they came up short. The Kings ran the gauntlet to the Stanley Cup Final, and the Blackhawks were a championship-caliber team.
The inability to get it done in the playoffs is baffling, because the Blues have been dominant over the last two-and-a-half seasons with a 132-64-17 record and 280 points. After completing a hat trick of first-round failure, something has to change, and it will be interesting to see which direction the franchise decides to take. With that in mind, here is a complete guide for the Blues' 2015 offseason.
