ST. LOUIS - A former owner of the St. Louis Blues hockey team faces
sentencing later this year after pleading guilty to a federal charge for
backdating stock options.
In a plea agreement reached on Monday, former Engineered Support Systems
Inc. co-founder Michael Shanahan Sr. also agreed to repay US$7.9 million. In
exchange for the guilty plea on one count of falsifying the records of a
publicly traded company, the government dropped 11 other charges against
Shanahan. The government also agreed to drop charges against his son,
Michael Shanahan Jr.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeff Jensen, who handled the case, declined comment
because charges are still pending against another former Engineered Support
executive, chief financial officer Gary Gerhardt.
Shanahan did not have a listed phone number. His lawyer, Barry Short, did
not return a phone call seeking comment.
The 68-year-old Shanahan was the chief executive of Engineered Support
Systems, a company that supplied military support and equipment. He led a
group of St. Louis businessmen that bought the Blues from Harry Ornest in
1986. The group sold the NHL team in 1999.

Pfft. you are willing to at least speculate on a Sedins for Kovalchuk
trade but you can't bend your mind around getting a center from an
over the cap team?
What do teams under the cap have to offer for such a player that the
Canucks don't?
Possibly available (w/o the cap question) are Briere or Carter from
the Flyers, O'Sullivan from the Kings, either Drury or Gomez from the
Rangers, Vermette from the Sens...

How specific do you want? Should he say who he's going to offer in
trade for Joe Thornton or whomever?

Assuming anyone shows up.
I think the Canucks have been underwhelmed by the response. They just added
a day to the RSVP deadline.

But there is still a free version available, tonnes of calls at the store
yesterday according to GDawg. They sure make it look like you have to pay
for it, but if one searches the sight, it's still free.

Really? I'll have to find out why the husband didn't tell me.
As for Sundin, who wants him? Tired old dead ass that can't make a
decision in how many months? Fuck him and the horse he rides in on.
*koff* Maybe that's why I wasn't told. Nevermind.
The thing is, I'm not all that irritated with anything he has/hasn't
done yet except to tell Sundin to screw off.
