This list can honestly go up there with the original six teams for how deep the roster of notable short stint players is. I expect the comments are gonna have many mentions of other great players with pit stops in St. Louis.
I feel the blues easily win this game, they all seem odd af. Dont know why..
And Gretzky is like the Cherry.

The playoff run with Miller *still* hurts

Crazy how Wayne Gretzky played 18 games but got the captaincy

As a Blues fan and STL native, I’ve been waiting patiently for this one. We truly have had a unique collection of players that nobody would ever remember playing here.
The weirdest one for me is James Neal. I have no recollection of that man playing for us.

That 02-03 year with Barasso was insane. We went through 7 goalies, and one was Chris Osgood, who could probably fit on this list as well.

Another Scott Gomez appearance lol dude played on a lot of teams near the end of this career

The amount of hall of famers that rolled through St Louis in the 90s is bizarre.

Osgood should have been on this list

Blues really wanted to win that 2017 Winter Classic when they enlisted Brodeur and Gretzky to play lol

St. Louis wins the ‘Players on unusual teams.’
The fight is over by TKO.

I wouldn’t have put Hebert on the list because he came up with the Blues. If I remember correctly, they lost him in the expansion draft.

Who could forget Blues legends Olli Jokinen, Martin Havlat, Jason Arnott, and Jamie Langebrunner

I just learned today that Cheech Marin played over the span of 2 decades for St Louis under the alias of Harold Snepsts

I was wondering if Paul Kariya would make the list but turns out he played for the Blues across three seasons. Damn.

Fun facts:
Gretzky managed to set the Blues record for most assists in a postseason series in the single postseason he played here. His 14 assists that postseason is also 4th all-time in Blues history in a single postseason.

You will not find a more absurd player on unusual team than Brodeur’s free trial on the Blues
This might be the winner of weirdness
That housley card goes so hard but the face he is making in it kinda messes up the vibe
I forgot about Miller being on the Blues. Housley almost looks like Pronger in that card

That’s one fucking solid team, there.
