The St. Louis Blues have plenty of players that fit right into the years they played. However, some guys make you wonder if they were meant to have played in a different time.

The St. Louis Blues have had plenty of good players throughout their history. Some guys flourished because of the era they played in.

Still other guys did well but might have been even more successful if they had played in a different time. Those are the players we are going to look at here.

These are the players that had decent careers but could have done more in a different decade. Some of them might have been better suited physically.

Others might have tailored their game to the time they played, but their skills would have worked better now or in the past.

Some big guys had enough skill that they could have dominated when there were not as many skilled players, top to bottom, on a roster. Some small guys played during the clutch-and-grab eras and would have thrived in a more open game.

So, let’s look at some of the Blues that might have fit better in a time different than what they played.
