Edit: Looking back at the stats, a 4-16-20, over parts of 2 seasons, guy, wouldn't have made much of an impression on a Non-Flame fan, at the time.
He wasn't here long; a half of a season iirc. I do remember seeing him play in Flames colours though. It seemed like he did nothing, then floated around, and then grabbed the pick deked through three defenders and rang a shot off the crossbar. I thought, "Why doesn't he do that all the time?" Later in his career, he did, setting off countless can-you-imagine-if-we-kept-St. Louis? talks.

That he will never play for the Blues is tragic; like when Doug Vancouver spent his whole career in Hartford.
