A trade between the Canadiens and the Blues was blocked by Brett Hull
A transaction between the Montreal Canadiens and the St. Louis Blues was indeed blocked.
By whom? None other than Brett Hull himself!
This revelation comes from a recent episode of the podcast "Missin Curfew." Former player Kelly Chase shared this incredible story.
Brett Hull blocked a trade between the Montreal Canadiens and the St. Louis Blues
Here is the excerpt in question.
- Missin Curfew
In short, Chase explains that, on an NHL trade deadline day several years ago, Brett Hull invited him to play golf.
Chase accepted the invitation, but he wasn't really focused on golf because he was genuinely afraid of being traded.
Finally, what was bound to happen, happened.
Halfway through the course, Kelly Chase received a message indicating he needed to call the Blues.
He had just been traded to the Montreal Canadiens.
When he told Brett Hull the news on the golf course, Hull responded:
Chase still went to the Blues' office, where he was greeted by Prof Caron, only to be told:
You're lucky because I'm friends with Serge Savard, and we canceled the trade. You're lucky because your friend saved you, as we can't let him go!" - Kelly Chase
What a story!
I wonder if any player could wield such power today.
It's quite an anecdote, indeed!
