NHL Nugget: St. Louis Blues Nearly Relocated To Saskatoon In 1983

Here's today's NHL Nugget – this first edition of Franchise Fever Dreams goes back to 1983 to look at the St. Louis Blues.

At the time, the Blues were close to relocating to Saskatoon, Sask., when Bill Hunter bought the club and planned to build an 18,000-seat arena. Before that relocation could happen, however, the NHL's board of governors stepped in the way. Watch the NHL Nugget video for more.
