In his rookie season in the 2005/06 WHL , he scored 24 points . Blum scored eight more points in the play-offs and the Vancouver Giants won the President's Cup as champions of the WHL , and the team also took part in the 2006 Memorial Cup . In the following season Vancouver reached the final round of the Western Hockey League again, there the team was defeated by the Medicine Hat Tigers in the best-of-seven series with 3: 4 games. The Giants were automatically qualified to host the 2007 Memorial Cup . In the final of this competition, the Giants met the Hat Tigers. The Vancouver Giants prevailed with 3-1 goals and won their first Memorial Cup .

Ahead of the upcoming NHL Entry Draft , an annual event where National Hockey League teams can secure the rights to promising young players, the Canadian was rated 17th best North American young player. During the draft, Blum was selected in the first round in a total of 23rd position by the Nashville Predators . Blum attended the Predators training camp but was not nominated for the team and was sent back to the Giants. A little later he signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Predators .

At the start of the 2008/09 WHL season , Blum was named team captain of the Vancouver Giants. After scoring 14 points in the first ten games of the season, the defender was named Player of the Month for September / October. The American finished the season with a total of 66 scorer points in 51 games and was awarded the Bill Hunter Memorial Trophy as the best defender in the Western Hockey League. He was also elected to the WHL First All-Star team. In the election for Defender of the Year of the Canadian Hockey League , he prevailed against Ryan Ellis ( OHL ) and Dmitri Kulikow ( QMJHL ). In the play-offs this season, the Giants were eliminated in the final of the Western Conference against the Kelowna Rockets .
