Almost as a throw-in item at the bottom of his notebook on the Blues, NHL.com's Lou Korac started a firestorm in the AHL today. The section begins, "The Blues will house a new home for a new American Hockey League team, according to a source."
The report goes on to say that the team is closing in on a deal to put their AHL team in Kansas City, working with the current owner of the Missouri Mavericks. The Blues have been affiliated with the independently owned Chicago Wolves for four years. The Missouri Mavericks vehemently denied the report.
