The St. Louis Blues have had a ton of great players throughout their 58-year history. There are four players that could be considered as the Blues Mount Rushmore, but there can only be one as the greatest player in franchise history.
This shouldn't come as too much of a surprise.
Brett Hull is the Blues GOAT
Brett Hull is undoubtedly and unanimously the greatest player to wear the Blues uniform. His impact on the game has been everlasting, and his name is up and down the history books. There are only a small handful of names in front of Hull for the greatest NHL player of all time.
In 11 seasons with the Blues, Hull was an electric factory with the puck. His shot was unstoppable, his speed was unmatched and his legacy has yet to be matched by any other Blues player since.
His best years came from 1989-90 through 1991-92. Over the course of three seasons, he was nearly a goal-per-game player with 228 goals in 231 games played. That is pure insanity, and those numbers were matched up against Mario Lemieux and Wayne Gretzky at the time. His single-season goal totals from those three seasons (72, 86, 70) are still the top three all-time in Blues history. In fact, Hull holds the top-five single-season goal records, with fifth place being tied with Wayne Babych.
Hull also holds some highly-touted placements in the NHL record book as well. To this day, he holds the most power-play goals in Stanley Cup Playoff history with 38, and his 741 career goals are the fifth-most in NHL history.
Hull and Chris Pronger are the only members of the Blues organization to win the Hart Trophy. He also has a Ted Lindsay award, which he shares with Mike Liut for being the only two players in Blues history to achieve that. The only thing that is really missing from his accolades during his tenure with this franchise is a Stanley Cup. He came close, taking the Blues to the second round on a few occasions, but nothing further. He won two Stanley Cups before retiring at the end of 2005-06, one with Dallas and one with Detroit.
