When the St. Louis Blues originally signed Nate Prosser, there were quite a few protests from Blues fans. Was it just because the team had some health issues? Or, was it because Mike Yeo wanted to bring in some of his old players?
Blues fans were desperately hoping it would not be the latter. They had suffered through enough of that with the Mike Keenan era. Nevertheless, it still raised eyebrows when a player that Yeo had coached since his AHL days was brought in.
In the end, it was mainly due to the team’s health.
