Blues/Islanders Strike A Deal

ST.LOUIS - The Blues struck a deal late last night sending Center Zach Parise, who just finished his 6 game suspension, to the Islanders for Right Winger Sam Gagner. Both teams with literally nothing to lose (or win for that matter) were able to each fill a need of the other team. The Blues have been looking for a Right Winger since the beginning of the season after losing Martin Samuelsson when he decided to venture into Siberia. No one has seen or heard from him since. The move reunites childhood friends John Tavares and Sam Gagner, who hopefully in this sad, sad season can give the fans in St.Louis something to cheer about. Either Patrik Elias or Alex Tanguay will be slotted in on the Left Wing to give them a line of some sort.
