The St. Louis Blues have had some interesting guys in charge of the team over the years. Whether it is odd owners, interesting team presidents or crazy general managers, there have been a host of characters.
However, something dawned on me while putting together a piece about the best players for the Blues in the 90’s. It occured to me that, while on-ice performance had plenty to do with it, the team’s downfall for some of their failure can be boiled down to two men.
Two men, through their trades, deals (or lack thereof) and general meddling, managed to derail potential championship contenders.
