When looking at this matchup on the surface, it is hard not to just blindly pick Bernie Federko. The man essentially played his entire career with the St. Louis Blues. There was that one season where he played in Detroit, but that’s sort of like Michael Jordan playing on the Wizards. You just sort of acknowledge it happened but not really.
Adam Oates, on the other hand, basically had a cup of coffee and a donut in St. Louis over the course of his 19 year career. Despite the relative shortness of his time in the city, he made an unbelievable impact with the team when paired with Brett Hull and fans who were around during that period still awe over the duo.
