Wednesday Bluenotes: Trade? + 5 More Preductions
Trade or Not to Trade? I know Doug Armstrong has said that the roster is virtually set heading in to training camp. Barring a trade, the Blues are ready to get the 2010-11 NHL season started. What if a trade is out there? No rumor here, just my own conclusions and hypothetical pondering. As mentioned...
Monday Bluenotes: 5 Predictions
After a long weekend I’m back to the grind. At least it’s a little cooler today. Enough with the baseball weather already. The business of Blues hockey has been pretty slow over the last few weeks. Nothing new ti report on the investor situation and no transactions. Over the weekend a few table scraps were...
Thursday Bluenotes: Random Thoughts
Sources say the Blues are not worried about getting Valdimir Tarasenko over from Russia next season. Regardless of his contract status. Rumor hit the hockey world yesterday that Tarasenko was close to an extension with his KHL club, Sibir. The article might have been misinterpreted. The contract change appears to be a restructure and not...
Tarasenko KHL Extension?
D. Chesnokov of Yahoo Sports Puck Daddy blog reports via Twitter that Blues 2010 1st Round pick Vladimir Tarasenko is close to signing an extension on his KHL contract. Chesnokov was not able to confirm the report. Keep that in mind. This is not a confirmed deal….yet, at least. While the rumored buyout clause hasn’t...
Wednesday Bluenotes: Adding Depth
Dave Eminian of the Peoria Star Journal reports the the St. Louis Blues have signed Dean Arsene to a one-year, AHL-NHL contract. Arsense brings another winning pedigree to the organization. The 30 year old AHL veteran has two Calder Cups with the Hershey Bears under his belt. Described as a “heart and soul” player he...
Monday Bluenotes: August 9th
I fully believe that Dave Checketts is 100% committed to winning in St. Louis. The reality of the situation is that the Blues are in the “have not” category of the NHL. Unless a high roller comes in and provides a safety net, they will be a lower budget team. The option really is Checketts...
Questioning Blues Ownership?
Let me start off by clarifying a few things. 1. I read stlouisgametime.com every day. I love their site. 2. I respect their authors as we are both Fan Sites. 3. I mean in no way to be rude, offensive, or demean their product. In this case I just don’t agree with something they’ve said...
Friday Bluenotes: Are We There Yet?
All is quiet in Bluesville today. Might be the best thing for the fans though. A little quiet time to rest and relax for what is likely to be the most important season for the Checketts regime. All the puzzle pieces are there. Time for them to grow legs and find their place fitting together...
Thursday Bluenotes: Just Sayin
Not too much going on today other than a little rain around St. Louis. A little break from 101 degree days is nice till you realize that all that rain will just make it ungodly humid outside once the sun comes out. I’m very happy for Mike Weaver that he was able to find a...
