Ran into Adam Oates and Martin St. Louis at a bar in CT tonight! They were both super nice and even talked hockey with me for a few minutes. Marty said he was impressed with the Devils and believed good things were coming in the near future!

That’s awesome. I was a fan of Oates when he was here coaching especially how he ran our power play.
Trade Marty for Brett and you’d have a rock and roll HoF duo. JK that’s epic I saw Marty with buddy Eric Perron and Timmy Thomas at VT Destroy Cornell in Ithaca in 95/96
Oates was a fucking artist with the puck. Absolute legend.
Oates was one of the several Blues players that Lou was interested in acquiring (Scott Stevens, Brett Hull or Adam Oates) in the Brendan Shanahan Group 1 Free Agency compensation deal in 1991. The Blues only offered draft picks, Brind’Amour & Curtis Joseph, but Lou held out and it went to an arbitrator and we settled for Stevens. And the rest was history
It’s a sign! The Whalers are REBORN
