Brewer Traded to Tampa Bay

[cprice12]

Yup...heard it on XM Home Ice on the way home.

No details on who we get yet....not that I care.

I'm happy as hell right now.

STAMKOS!!!!

JR is saying it is not a player(s) off the TB roster

[glen a richter]

HOLY GOD THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well we finally got our wish. Now we will have to wait and see what happens now.

[Guppy]

2nd round pick (not sure when)

[glen a richter]

That's an awful low return for a captain and #1 defenseman... oh wait, yeah. That's right, it's Brewer.

[Oz-iz-God]

2nd round pick (not sure when)

Sold.

Even though it's probably more like a 3rd rounder coming from TB, I'll take it.

Wish we could've gotten an actual B level offensive forward in return, but perhaps in Armstrong we trust, or something like that.

I liked Brewers play of late, but hey we should get something out him at least. Now we need to get rid of Jackman and get Weaver back.

lol yeah. I went to Blues Talk to see what they said. All year that forum has been harping on Brewer and talking about how terrible he is. The consensus after the trade is: "What?! That's all they got?!"

The Blues are expected to get a draft pick and Brock Beukeboom for Brewer.

I thought a second rounder was the 'high end' of my expectations, but considering Tampa's record...it's close enough to a third.

Hey now, that's actually not bad!

Not the kind of player I'd have gone after, but he's a legitimate prospect. Seems like a tougher Junland with a little less skill (but less of a quitting pussy)

Win.

[glen a richter]

Because this team needs defensive prospects. Really.

[sseagle]

One of my coworkers just told me and I'm jumping up and down cheering...

I was hoping for one of the forward prospects too. But all in all its not a bad return for Brewer.

*third rounder.
