One of the factors was a change in GMs. Coates (who I believe was a good GM who wasn't given enough time) was a supporter of St. Louis, but when the team fired him and Button came in, there wasn't the same belief in the player. He was even exposed in the expansion draft (and not taken) and then released.
I had seasons at the time. St. Louis had clear skill but I also am not going to pretend that I thought he was going to become much. Good on him for proving a lot of people wrong.
