On July 14, 1995, the St. Louis Blues added Grant Fuhr to their roster. 1995 was a strange and incredible time.
We were coming off the lockout of 1994. Mike Keenan was gearing up for his second season in charge of the Blues. It seemed like things were going well and then all hell broke loose.
The Blues traded away fan favorites Curtis Joseph and Brendan Shanahan. The Blues got draft picks that they would turn into good players years later, but amounted to little at the time, for Joseph. They at least got Chris Pronger for Shanahan, but at the time nobody knew Pronger or what he would become.
