5. Pierre Turgeon
Like so many others on this list, Pierre Turgeon is almost forgotten. In the general fan base – i.e. not the hardcore – fans think of Gretzky as a Blues member more than Turgeon. While Gretzky’s overall career was greater, that is a shame because we forget how good Turgeon was in St. Louis.
Turgeon played for five seasons with the Blues. He played more games with St. Louis than any other team in his career, scored more assists and points as well. The only team he scored more goals with was the New York Islanders.
Turgeon finished the St. Louis portion of his career with 134 goals, 221 assists and 355 points. He currently ranks in the top-15 of all Blues point scorers.
Turgeon is also ranked in the team’s top-15 for assists as well. He does sit a few spots behind Backes, but Turgeon played in 400 fewer games with the Blues than Backes and only trails the big man by about 34 assists.
Playing with Brett Hull definitely helped Turgeon’s numbers in St. Louis. Regardless of that, he was a solid player with the team and was a big reason Pavol Demitra scored plenty of goals.
He was a better scorer than most remember too. He came up in big situations, scoring 25 game winners with the Blues.
Turgeon gets lost among other big names, but he was one of the best and most consistent during his time here.
