50 Most Outstanding Players in St. Louis Blues History: 40-31

37. Frank St. Marseille

Forward, 1967-73; 403 games, 86 goals, 171 assists, plus-31 rating, 118 PIM

Frank St. Marseille was a member of the first Blues team, and he’s got one of the best backstories of any player on this list. St. Marseille went undrafted and had bounced around various minor leagues during the early ’60s, but when the Blues came into existence in 1967, a door opened for St. Marseille to enter the NHL as a 28-year-old rookie.

The skilled two-way forward didn’t let the Blues down, tallying 16 goals and 16 assists with a plus-11 rating over 57 games as a rookie. He was a key piece as the Blues reached three Stanley Cup Finals in their first three seasons of existence, but he truly broke out from 1969-72, as he had three straight seasons with 50 points or more.

St. Marseille was also an especially good postseason performer during his time with the Blues, collecting 43 points in 62 playoff games. He was exceptionally effective in ’67-’68, when he scored five goals (including four on the power play) and added eight assists in 18 games, and ’69-’70, when he had six goals and seven assists in 15 games.
