We're back to talk draft and the beginning of free agency. Hope everyone had a great Fourth. The Blues restocked the cupboards with a fresh crop of prospects. Blues fans didn't see The Big Trade that we expected, though. The kids look good, though. Then July 1 came around, and the Blues brought back David Perron, added Chad Johnson, and signed Tyler Bozak. That was a pretty good haul ... but wait - there's more! Army pulled off a pretty big trade that brought in Ryan O'Reilly in exchange for Patrik Berglund, Vladimir Sobotka, Tage Thompson and 2 picks. We say farewell to the departed and welcome ROR to the Blues family.
