The St. Louis Blues have had an odd history with the Carolina Hurricanes in recent times. They’ve swapped some pretty big names over the years.
Kelly Chase played a handful of seasons in Hartford (where the franchise originated from). The Blues traded uber-popular Brendan Shanahan to the Whalers.
Former Blue, Rod Brind’Amour stayed in Carolina forever. Doug Weight even won a championship with Carolina.
Fortunately, the relationship was not completely one sided. The Blues did get Hall of Fame defenseman, Chris Pronger out of it.
Switching the focus more to the present, it has not been a good stretch for the franchise.
