Blues owner Dave Checketts believes the team will have new ownership by the start of the 2011-12 season. The Blues, who have been on the market since April, saw limited interest from the outset but he said in recent weeks that interest has heated up. "We expect to have something done by the start of the season. ... We expect to have an orderly sale process. It'll be done by the start of the season," Checketts told reporters.
