July 24th was apparently a busy day for the St. Louis Blues in the past. We discussed the degradation of the center position with a certain acquisition. The Blues also lost a key piece due to the fact they picked up Mike Keenan.
Only seven days after giving the keys to the kingdom to Mike Keenan, naming him both coach and GM, the Blues and New York Rangers settled their lawsuit. Unfortunately for St. Louis, it involved a trade that sent promising prospect Petr Nedved to the Big Apple for Esa Tikkanen and Doug Lister.
