from Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post Dispatch,

"I'm just going to go home and wait by the phone," he said. "If nothing else works out as far as an NHL contract, I'd love to stay in the (Blues') organization and sign a two-way with Chicago (Wolves). I'm not sure if that's the plan. They kind of talked about that. When you don't have too many options, that's the thing. I just want to play hockey.

"I'm thankful for the time I've spent in the NHL and I understand that I'm kind of a borderline guy as far as skill-set is concerned. But if anyone needs a fourth-line grinder, and someone who is responsible, I'll gladly do the job."
