4. St. Louis Blues

The St. Louis Blues have been a dominant team in the NHL for quite some time recently. They play hard on offense, defense, and in net. Vladimir Tarasenko has been one of the biggest impact players in the NHL and has been consistently high in points throughout his time in the league. This leadership and ability from him have certainly shaped the success of the franchise.

They have been a team that has had a roller coaster ride of seasons, meaning they will make the playoffs one year and then fail to do so the next season. However, the good news is that this team can consistently challenge teams and have gained comfort during the playoffs.

This team has a mix of young talent and experienced veterans who all have had success in their NHL careers. One aspect that the Blues have struggled with is in net. Although goaltender Jake Allen played a lot of games for the Blues last season, he did not contribute to a lot of their wins. This is an area in which they will have to improve on. Nevertheless, they have a lot of young goaltender talent and still exhibit why they deserve a number four spot on this list.
