[edit] Why was the page moved?

Google results heavily favor Martin St. Louis as the correct spelling/punctuation for his name. I only saw one result in roughly the first four pages of results that gave his last name as "St-Louis". --Idont Havaname (Talk) 00:03, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

I believe that's how they spell it in French. I frankly don't care either way, although if I had to choose I would put it back to St. Louis. Croat Canuck 02:31, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Ok. I'll move it back. Per WP:NAME, "Generally, article naming should give priority to what the majority of English speakers would most easily recognize, with a reasonable minimum of ambiguity, while at the same time making linking to those articles easy and second nature." --Idont Havaname (Talk) 04:07, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

This article could really use a rewrite ...

[edit] Wrong draft info

Martin St. Louis was NOT drafted into the NHL because he was considered to be too small. He signed as a free agent with Calgary in 1998. According to the article, St. Louis was drafted 62nd overall in 1997 by Calgary which is untrue. The 62nd overall pick in 1997 belonged to Philadelphia and they drafted defenceman Kris Malette.
