It involved the team finishing the regular-season with a 25–40–15 record, with a total of 65 points, placing them fourth in the Norris Division. It ended with a Norris Division Semifinal loss to the Chicago Black Hawks in four games. On January 12, Ralston Purina Company attempted to sell the club to Edmonton Oilers founder Bill Hunter, who had plans to move the team to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The NHL would eventually veto the deal, resulting in the team not participating in the entry draft. It would pave the way for Harry Ornest to purchase the franchise prior to the following season. 2 Offseason July 2010 Regular season Final standings STL Record vs. opponents STL Schedule and results background:#fff;
