when your wayne gretzky anything less than 87 points in 31 games is Jim Campbellesque.KingofCrunk said:I love how someone can get 37 points in 31 games in that era and still be considered to not have clicked with the team. That's amazing.

He stupidly gave Gretzky an ultimatum deadline well after midnight when Gretzky had already gone to bed for the night - and Gretzky was pi$$ed. Quinn pulled the offer off the table. So off to New York. Could you have imagined Gretzky centering Pavel Bure?
Shootmaster_44 said:I heard he never saw eye-to-eye with Mike Keenan while he was there. But really I think the reason its not mentioned, is that nothing noteworthy happened in St. Louis.
LA would have been better off finishing the season with Gretzky, then letting him leave in the off-season so they could get the compensatory second round pick.GuloGulo said:"On February 27, 1996 he joined the St. Louis Blues in a trade for Patrice Tardif, Roman Vopat, Craig Johnson, and draft picks. While he scored 37 points in 31 games for the team (regular season and playoffs), and they got within one overtime game of the Conference finals, he never clicked with the team or with sniper and good friend Brett Hull on the ice as well as many had expected."
