Dallas Drake on waivers!

Latest Strickland, no details yet. If not one picks him up, the Blues will buy out his last year! :shock:

The common belief is that the Blues are going to buy out Drake and offer him a front office position.

Classy move. He was a great team player but it is past his time... that and we don't need Drake, Mayers, Hinote AND King.

My oh my, I'm a media darling.

Go to the Blues homepage, http://blues.nhl.com/

see where they have the five articles cycling through. Click on #3 and check out the stunningly handsome gentleman with the beard celebrating the Lars Eller pick.

Oh my that's me. :D :thumb:

Blues just resigned Walt. Not sure if I should be excited about that or now.

i dont think they resigned him yet, just traded for his rights...

they have exclusive negotiating rights until July 1st, so it sounds like theyll try to make it happen

unless they were just making it easier for ATL to resign him, since now they will just have to give up a 3rd rounder to us instead of a 1st rounder if they do.

My Tkachuk jersey t-shirt has just taken one large step back into the world of relevance!
