Many will forget that Mr. Gretzky was a Blue at one point in his legendary career. He totaled 21 points in 18 games played for the franchise. While his best years were spent with the Edmonton Oilers and Los Angeles Kings, the Blues brought Wayne in for the 1995-1996 season. Interestingly enough, he was a -6 in his one season in the Blue note during the regular season.
Gretzky’s playoff stats for the Blues were also impressive. He had 16 points in 13 playoff games in the 1996 playoffs. Perhaps he could talk to David Backes about playoff production before the 2016 Stanley Cup playoffs, but maybe that wouldn’t help either.
He left after the one year to move to New York to play for the Rangers.
