Blues Holdout

Currently the Blues have 3 holdouts. Oleg Kvasha Marc Brown and Daniel Tkachuck Oleg Kvasha is the biggest name of the 3 but he is also the Blues leading penalty minute getter of the last season and had fallen out of favor of both GM Foley and coach Paul Maurice in the playoffs last season. Now with the acquisition of both Steve Kariya and Mike Leclerc the Blues tough guy has likely seen his last game as a Blue. No word yet on weather he will be traded or where he would be moved too. As for the other holdouts GM Foley has already taken steps to remove one from his roster as he has done in the past Marc Brown has been traded to the Thrashers in exchange for Kevin Weekes.

As for Daniel Tkachuck he has shown his displeasure at being relegated to the 4th line of the Blues and unfortunately for him with callups from the Blues jr team and development from the farm league his services will also not likely be required. So what happens to a player who is not needed by the Blues. History has shown more often then not they are traded for one who wants to play for the Blues. Most recently is Weekes and Pyatt who was acquired last season for a holdout.
