What if the St. Louis Blues became the Saskatoon Blues? That could have happened in 1983 had the NHL's board of governors not voted against it.

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.
