I also am really bored of people complaining about St. Louis, he was undrafted and we gave him a chance, but then we waived him and no other team picked him up. Then he signed with Tampa and ended up in the right situation and he became a star. I don't think for a second St. Louis becomes the player he is today if he remained in Calgary's system.
The Giguere and Savard deals however very much bothered me. I don't think Giguere was given a fair shake here and Savard was traded for good reason, but the return was very bad.

PFFT! Giguere couldn't even keep himself hydrated. He was ready to puke after a few periods. Savard has noodle brains. BAH! WHO WANTS THEM ANYWAY.
On a serious note though, I'll always like St Louis. Despite not 'putting it together' in Calgary, he always said nice things about how Calgary gave him the chance to be an NHLer. Even when being confronted with aggro reporters asking him if it's 'payback time' to Calgary. Also, he's the 'point the finger at him!' guy for smaller players making it in the NHL (Theo Fleury aside).
