Your worst All-Time Blue?

Who do you despise the most that has come through this organization?
Player? Front office personnel? Coach?
Who is your worst all time Blue?
I have a deep loathing for a couple.
Former Blues owner, Bill Laurie for gutting the team and not signing anyone coming out of the lockout, which saw the biggest free agent pool in history. We could have improved this team dramatically by signing a couple guys, but no...instead, we went the opposite direction and dumped payroll, cut corners, pinched pennies and traded a dominant #1 defenseman for nothing...and sent this team into a horrible spiral that we are just now starting to climb out of.
Former Blues President,Pat "Benedict Arnold" Quinn who tampered with Shanhan, costing us Stevens and a couple first round picks just one year after signing Stevens at the cost of 5 first round picks to Washington. So we lost 6 first round picks and had to swap 1st rounders one other year, all for Brendan Shanahan and one year of Scott Stevens. The douche made it worse by leaving a paper trail. Moron.

Well you nailed a couple of big ones.
I would add Brent Johnson, Patrick Lalime, and Alexander Khavonov.
It’s hard pick between Brent Johnson and Patrick Lalime.
Don’t forget Mike Kitchen!

1) Mike Keenan because his incompetence hurt us for years after his firing. His only good move was to nix that horrible jersey design.
2) Jocelyn Lemieux. Because much is expected (needed) from a No. 1 draft pick. The first time I saw him, he looked like a left-handed version of Cam Janssen. I was astonished that a No. 1 pick could be so lacking in hockey skills.
[FYI: Jocelyn was the younger brother of the more accomplished Claude. A nice bookend in Blues history in which the franchise ended up with Alain Lemieux, younger brother of the more accomplished Mario.]
Honorable Mention: Mike Kitchen. He deserves this honor simply on the basis of the team's disgraceful performance on Brett Hull Night. Even now, I still can't fathom it.
