The Vegas Golden Knights want what the Blues have — and they don’t plan on waiting 50 years to get it.
Team owner Bill Foley is chasing the Stanley Cup in a dead sprint. His passion is reminiscent of how Mike Shanahan and Jack Quinn once ran the Blues.
Those two signed Scott Stevens as a free agent when free agency existed in name only. They doubled down by signing Brendan Shanahan, only to lose Stevens in the process. They hired coach Mike Keenan when he was still under contract to the New York Rangers. They even landed The Great One, Wayne Gretzky, for a playoff push.
