I agree. I recall the end of the season when St. Louis was called up and finished the year in Calgary and thought he was going to be an exciting up and coming player. And it wasn't just me, I remember some people in the media were saying he was a bright spot for the Flames future. Then when we let him go, fans were quick to dismiss it. I was pissed off.
While it's true that other teams passed on him after (Ottawa invited him to camp and let him go), we had him. Obviously the previous management saw something in him as well.
