Ok well now that changes everything and makes it even more dumb. Especially consider the Blues have only had 20 captains in their history and 11 of the 20 were 1 year or less.

It's just a list of half the team captains in history in no specific order. The Post-Dispatch really coming in hot with the material.

1 Petro. Say what you will he’s the captain that got it done. We will miss him big time.
2 Pronger. I did not agree with stripping him of the C but I did like that they gave it to Chopper.
3 MacInnis. My second favorite Blue from that era behind Pronger. Damn shame these teams had to face prime Detroit, Colorado, and Dallas every year.
4 Hull. Loved Hullie. He’s the biggest reason I got into hockey maybe he wasn’t a great captain in practice but he was one of my childhood idols.
5 Gretzky. Because Gretzky. That is all.
6 Stevens. I vaguely remember his time as a Blue and was crushed when we couldn’t get him back in 94.
7 Backes. Liked him as a player he was sorely miscast as a number one center.
8 Brewer. Under rated and back injury cost him effectiveness but a good player in an impossible situation.
9 Drake. Whatever. We were bad.
10 Corson. Hated him as a Blue one of my least favorite Blues of all time. But it’s my lifetime as a fan top ten and he’s better than Butcher? I guess?

You mean they just listed them? Not only is that lazy but are you really a hockey fan? I mean, if I’m posting that story, I’d have fun with it and list the damn thing with reasons behind it. Whoever wrote that story then I question their love of hockey.

Yeah, the Blues almost brought Stevens back. I forget the time frame on it. Was Chopper and Prongs both here when we made that offer sheet? If so, that’s an insane top 3 on D if that had materialized.
