It's always nice to see Chicago get worse AND see that the Blues actually sold high on two prospects.
Blues news

- What kind of deal will Erik Johnson get? A short one is my prediction. [STLtoday]
Hockey news

- Matt Walker, along with stealing Gallagher's heart, creates rivalries. [Raw Charge]
- Second City does it's "Hey, the Blackhawks made another salary dump, where do we stand now." post. Still not good for them, but good for us. [Second City Hockey]
