Well that didn't take long. The Chicago Blackhawks began the post Stanley Cup sell-off today during NHL Draft Day. The parade was just held on Friday.

The Skinny on Chicago Bulls 2nd Round Erik Murphy
Florida Gators big man Erik Murphy brings to the Chicago Bulls an ability to be a "stretch four," a big guy that can step out and shoot. a la Andrei Kirielenko "AK-47," Tyler Griffey, Mike Tisdale, Dirk Nowitzki and Ryan Kelly.
