Prompt 1:  

Its hard to pick a specific one, but man the Blues have made some pretty poor trades in hindsight.  Its like as soon as they trade a young player, they have a killer season on another team.  Vince Dunn, left unprotected in the expansion draft and picked up by Seattle.  Fast forward to this last season and he is one of the best defenseman on the team.  He is playing top line minutes and killing it in Seattle.  Who else?  Jake Walman.  Getting fringe mintues in St. Louis, gets traded to Detroit and is killing it out there.  A little historical picks as well?  Doug Weight.  Gets traded and wins the cup the following year.  Brett Hull, gets traded and wins the cup the following year.  Ivan Barbeshev, wins the cup with Vegas.  It feels like no matter what, they always succeed.  Remember when we traded Tage Thompson to Buffalo?  Pepperidge Farm remembers.  But I'm not upset about that trade, we won a cup because of it.
