Happy birthday, America!/What is going on in Chi-town?

A war still going on sort of, the economy failing - I mean, what could be better for a celebration of our independence? Thanks to our founding fathers for signing the Declaration of Independence on this day, because I could be speaking in an English accent right now.

Something broke loose yesterday in the hockey world that Dale Tallon did not get several qualifying offers to players before July 1st came around. While this story is still under investigation by the NHL and NHLPA, it could end up where several RFAs could be turned into UFAs. I don't believe anything like this has ever happened before. I hope that Kris Versteeg stays in Chicago just for Cari because I see how much she loves that guy. If this whole thing turns out to be true then what does this mean for Chicago? I'm kind of scared to find out.
