[MacK_Attack 108]

Has waived his no-trade clause, according to Bob McKenzie.

Blues get Brock Beukeboom and a 3rd round pick.

Wow. Nice move here. Would have liked to see him in a Wings uniform.

[redwingfan19 293]

yzerman is showing kenny how its done.

[Konnan511 1,736]

Probably one of the biggest busts/disappointments in recent memory. Glad he found a new home, Hedman could use his veteran guidance.

And Holland showed Yzerman how it's done last night.

What the hell is going on here today? Did the secretly move the trade deadline up to Feb 18th? Or was the 28th a typo and it was actually the 18th all along? Crazy day... great move by Yzerman by the way...

[MacK_Attack 108]

Blues get a prospect and a 3rd rounder.

Burrrrnnnnnnnn.....

me too, I think he's been used poorly in St. Louis and still has a TON of upside, I think this change of scenery is going to be huge for him and this trade will end up becoming a HUGE steal for TB... with that said, does anyone have any news on what's going back the other way to St. Louis?

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

So the Blues are packing it in?

[jollymania 162]

Oshie or Backes Captain?

ENORMOUS trade. MASSIVE. Will have a GIGANTIC influence on the Bolts.

I apologize.

[HankthaTank 1,100]

Oshie or Backes Captain?

Probably Backes. Or even Jackass would get it.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Halak

[stevkrause 1,247]

Oshie or Backes Captain?

If I had to bet, I'd put my money on, in this order:

Oshie

McDonald

Perron

[Konnan511 1,736]

I would assume Hugh Jackman will now be captain.

Killer mask there. Looks like a giant protective cup with the Winged wheel painted on it.

Another good move by Stevie. Lots of trades today, whoa.

[pucktividi 472]

Wow post wings game syndrome I'd call it

First Bruins got 2 new D-men and now Tampa...

[Guest Crymson]

Wow. Nice move here. Would have liked to see him in a Wings uniform.

No, you wouldn't. Blues fans hate this guy, by and large.

Uh, no.

For 95% of his time here, he was pretty bad. And it really had nothing to do with situations and matchups. He would just screw up routine stuff...bad passes, mishandling the puck, failing to clear the zone too often. I can't tell you how many times he'd mis an assignment in front of the net and have it cost us a goal. He'd get booed in his home rink...he was just bad.

This season he started off better, but has regressed lately again. I think the Blues sold high. His trade value since he has been here has never been higher.

He wasn't a bruiser, he didn't throw his weight around, he wasn't offensive minded, he wasn't a rah-rah leader, he wasn't fundamentally sound, he didn't lead by example on the ice, he wasn't vocal. As a captain, you have to be at least one of those...and he was none of the above.

Blues fans are rejoicing right now that he is gone. There was some fear that he would be re-signed in the offseason. I'm happy we got something for him.

Yzerman just got schooled. Brewer peaked back when he was in Edmonton and was on Team Canada.

Even watching him in junior, I never got the feeling I was watching an elite defenceman. I hope for Steve's sake the change of scenery does Brewer some good and he can play like it's 2002.

looks like the top teams in the east are gearing up for a run, be nice to see the teams from the east get banged around a bit more in their playoff runs.
