Yeah, but at the time Marty was looking like one of those guys who dominates the AHL, but can't put it together at the NHL level.

After 1999-2000 St. Louis' stats were

AHL: 95gp 48g 56a 104p
NHL: 69gp 4g 16a 20p

I wasn't paying as close attention to the Flames back in 2000 as I do now, and I'd have been upset at getting rid of someone who could produce like that in the minors, but it wasn't like he wasn't given a shot.
