Brass Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Also heard this on ESPNews. A big blow to the WHA, and probably signed a 2 year contract with Phoenix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Not a blow to the WHA at all...he was an NHL player first and foremost...if there was no season, then he'd play in the WHA.This sucks as a Blues fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Oh, c'mon, you know he wasn't coming back to St. Louis. That wasn't going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrdevil Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 This sucks as a Blues fan. Well the Blues had a shot to keep Hull. After the hired Kennan and they knew there was a problem between the 2 the should have gotten fid of Keenan after his first year. Not keep him around for another 2 years and drive a wedge between Hull and ownership to where he won't resign. For all we know, had Hull stayed the Blues could have won a cup.

GMac Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 This sucks as a pens fan i guess their bonus offer of "whatever he finds, he keeps" just wasnt enough to lure him... ... damn team being bankrupt and probably moving to KC.... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Mockba, I carried little hope that Pleau would actually go after Hull much, as Pleau just hasn't in any oppurtunity he's had gone after Hull as much as I think he could and should. I still like Pleau though. I just really wanted Hull back. Hull was my old favorite, Demitra my current, I'd hoped if they had to let Demitra go I could get my old favorite back. I guess I now turn my hope to Demitra coming down on his asking price and forgiving the Blues, and that they still may agree to something...I'm not having much luck with this favorite player thing...last year I decided if Demitra was traded or not resigned my favorite would be Danton...whoops...JKR, Hull experienced two different regimes coaching and front office wise, and maybe owner wise, but I'm not sure when Laurie bought the team off hand. Regardless, yes, I think both the Blues and he could have handled things better in their final years. The past is the past though.As for Keenan, he did a lot of bad things to the Blues, but looking back on it, I do have to thank him for assembline what was for some time and could have continued to be a core of Al MacInnis, Chris Pronger, Pavol Demitra, and Pierre Turgeon. He didn't do it all with fan friendly trades, but other than the Pronger trade, most were steals. Of course now, Pronger is the only one guranteed to be back. Turgeon the only one guranteed gone. Demitra could still resign (though he's a UFA), and MacInnis, though struggling with his vision, doesn't seem ready to announce his retirement yet.

NJTank Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 I think it would have been neat if Hull went back to the Blues to finish his career since he is the best player in that franchises history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magus Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 i heard he was going to dallas, but i guess they figured they didn't want to waste money on an ineffective Hull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notch Novelty Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 Are we sure he is going to wear 16? 16, 18, 22? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Clemente Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 Well the numbers 16 and 22 are both open for the Coyotes, but I figured he'd want 16 first and Devereaux would probably take 22.

Stampman Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Hull's washed up--his best days long gone--he'll need to get some good conditioning in--he looked tired last season towards the end, and look exhausted in the playoffs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharky99MB Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 It's possible Brett Hull can get the Coyotes going deep into the playoffs..but who knows how long the possible lockout will last?? We'll see.... and sure as hell wished the Coyotes would be still in Winnipeg!!! ACK!! BUt the Coyotes jerseys are sweet!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sucks. People are insane. There was no way, with all the cost-cutting this off-season, the Blues were going to sign Hull. It wasn't going to happen.

I'm honestly wondering if your serious, because it wouldn't surprise me...on the other hand, I've heard people say they would cancel their tickets if we did sign Hull.If I heard right, in his press conference he said it was close between Dallas and Phoenix, so either the Blues didn't try, their effort was poor, or Hull never really had interest.
