Terrific story with deep background on what nine Athletic hockey writers --- updated in January 2024 --- chose as the 99 greatest post-Great Expansion players, (1967-present). Yes, the Blues are represented, with Brett Hull, Doug Gilmour, Adam Oates, Al MacInnis, Grant Fuhr, Chris Pronger, and Brendan Shanahan. Players whose greatest NHL impacts were pre-1967 are not on the list, nor are big WHA stars, so no Howe, Hull, Harvey, Plante, Hall, et al.
There may be a paywall, but a brief trial run online is very cheap: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/355029 ... l-history/
