You'd think that Flames fans would know what really went on there.
St.Louis was passed over in the expansion draft and then passed through waivers. Nobody wanted him, he was under performing, small and lazy. After that complete rejection he totally changed his life and dedicated himself to being a better player, he started a ridiculous training regime where he got tree trunk legs, watch some of the youtube videos. If the Flames had retained him it's highly unlikely that he ever gets to the heights he reached. The only "hindsight" win would be keeping him off the 2004 Lightning team, pretty bloody ridiculous to blame Button for that.
