Nervous Blues Fans Sleeping.

Blues Fans Sleeping Now.

The report out of the building down on "Brett Hull Way" is that Bill Guerin, Jamal Mayers and Peter Cajanek will remain Blues.Â For tonight.

The best guess is that the supposed suitors for Guerin (Red Wings, Ducks, Sharks) and Mayers (Toronto) will make pitches early so that the Blues can take the best offer and give the losers a few hours to fight over Gary Roberts, Owen Nolan and anyone else out there who you happen to believe is available. Oh, and Cajanek? He is on waivers, but no way do the Blues get lucky enough to have someone take his $1.7 million contract off their hands.Â Even JD can't convince some other dumb GM that's a good idea.

So, Blues fans, enjoy that No. 13 jersey of yours for a few more hours, because it looks like it's about to be a replica of a "former Blue".Â Just like your closet full of Demitra, Tkachuk, Pronger, Hull, Shanahan and Joseph jerseys.

Gretz is a former Blue, too.

SWEET SWEATER, bro. Is that a picture of the one in your closet?

That’s actually pretty cool because it has the double CCM and NHL logos at the bottom. I know his was the only one like that because as a kid he would play a couple age groups above his and the uniforms were always too big. So he would tuck the right side of his sweater into his pants. He kept doing it for luck as he got older. Well the CCM logo was always on the right, but it has to be visible on the best player in the game, right? So they put a second one on the left.

I’m hoping, but I know I’m wrong, that management thinks that the draft picks from the Walt trade is enough. The teams that are currently above the cut-line won’t all stay that hot and if one of them falters, having Guerin on the team won’t hurt. I’m also thinking that the Blues are asking for an arm and Heather Mills’ leg for Guerin and that teams are balking at it, and JD may think that if Guerin is so happy here and the team is within shouting distance of making the playoffs, why trade him? Getting drilled in Chicago doesn’t help my theory.

So, I guess not ALL the Blues fans are sleeping nervously….

Heather Mills’ leg references make me queasy, by the way.

I personally think Guerin is gone by noon. This re-signing talk is smoke and mirrors. That and saying, “let’s talk in the morning”, especially when two of the rumored partners are West Coast and wide awake right now, puts pressure on everyone involved.

Want Guerin? There’s two hours left for you to blow me away or I just keep him. Or trade him to Detroit. Your move.
