Summary
On July 27, 1995, the St. Louis Blues stunned the hockey world by trading star scorer Brendan Shanahan to the Hartford Whalers for 20-year-old defenseman Chris Pronger — a move that would later be hailed as one of the greatest in franchise history. Pronger blossomed into a Norris Trophy-winning superstar, playing nearly 600 games for St. Louis and eventually winning a Stanley Cup with Anaheim, while Shanahan’s subsequent trade to Detroit didn’t deliver the same payoff. The Blues’ gamble paid off in spades, with Pronger’s legacy far outshining the return. That day also saw other NHL milestones: the Red Wings signed Dave Lewis in ’86, who later coached; the Flyers acquired Shjon Podein in ’94, who won a Cup with Colorado; and July 27 births include Flyers legend Andre Dupont, goal-scoring stalwart George Allen, and assist king Jason Woolley.
