Luckily I decided to check for any deals one last time before bed and it looks like the Blues have pulled the trigger on a another one.
*-> The St. Louis Blues have shipped out both Jay McClement and Erik Johnson and also a conditional 1st round draft pick to the Colorado Avalanche for Kevin Shattenkirk, Chris Stewart and a conditional 2nd rounder. The conditional 1st round pick depends on if the Blues get a top 10 pick or not in this years draft, if it is a top 10 then the conditional 1st round pick would be transfered to 2012 instead of 2011 and as would Colorado's conditional 2nd they received as well.
The Blues appear to be revamping their blueline once again and I'm not too sure I like this one for the Blues. They do get Kevin Shattenkirk in return so that helps but also giving up their 1st round draft pick ether this year or next year hurts for probably a deal they could have worked around. It appears the Blues are indeed sellers now.

Scoopz,
Wow, that is a huge deal, the kind we rarely see anymore.
Johnson's a stud, a former first overall, who's career has been set back by injuries early on, but who has more recently been looking more and more like the player it appeared he'd become.
I'm a big fan of Stewart, love the way he plays. No matter how this one plays out, I like it for both sides, they've shown guts in placing big bets trying to get better for the future.
