National media has had their speculation on the matter; the local guys are dropping their own hints as well.
Sure, the Blues are doing their due dilligence by talking to Mike Babcock (apparently).This is the first that I have seen, and I could be wrong, of the Blues approaching a coach other than Ken Hitchcock. The pending coaching vacancy isn't vacant quite yet, and many fans are starting to assume that the status quo will stay such. Larry Brooks of the NY Post threw his hat into the ring with his speculation that Hitch isn't going anywhere.
