McKee Out 4-6 Weeks With Broken Foot

The Blues have announced that Jay McKee has to sit out at least the first month of the season with a broken foot. He suffered the injury while blocking a shot in the Blues 7-0 walloping at the hands of the Wild. The injury won't require surgery to heal properly so he's set to come back in late October/early November.

I'm not too high on the "injury-prone" label but if I was, I'd be attaching it to Mr. McKee. Check out his injury list just from Sep 05 through to 07. He only played 23 games last season with the Blues, contributing 0 points and gathering a -9 rating. That's certainly not the performance the Blues envisioned when signing him to a 4 year, $16M contract last year.
