I just spoke to keith Tkachuk who was in a pretty happy mood as he eats his breakfast with Bill Guerin, Dallas Drake, and Doug Weight.

The Blues get a first round pick in 2007, a third round pick in 2007 and and second round pick in 2008 plus Glen Metropolit. If Atlanta re-signs Tkachuk this summer the Blues will receive an additional first round pick in 2008.

The deal is being finalized.

More to come,
