--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Folks,

News late tonight that Pronger has been traded to Edmonton. More information to follow from Jeremy Rutherford in tomorrow's paper.

From late night,

I was hoping we wouldn't get a suitor and end up having to keep him through the season where someone would buy the team and sign him to a long-term deal.. Just didn't say it out loud in fear of a jinx...

I'm still waiting til this is final though.. Edmonton doesn't seem the likeliest of teams.

(Frank)!

[Hullie]

I believe its on sportsnet

[Guppy]

figured it would happen eventually, just not with the Oilers

It's on TSN, so you might as well accept it... In this age of parity why would Edmonton not be likely?

To Blues: Eric Brewer, Jeff Woywitka, and 1 other player.

Opti

[LazyPenguin]

Eric Brewer, Doug Lynch and Jeff Woywitka.

Brewer looks impressive!? Anyone know anything?

Eric Brewer, Doug Lynch and Jeff Woywitka.

I think that's a pretty good trade for the Blues. You guys got 2 young defenceman that, along with Jackman and Backman, will round up one of the most promising top 4 pairings in the Conference. Doug Lynch was a throw in.

Not terrible, but again it's Chris Pronger so of course it's disappointing

[_Gassoff]

So NOW is there money for some scoring?

[the knob]

Brewer looks impressive!? Anyone know anything?

He's no Pronger replacement, but he seems steady from what I can remember from last season watching the late games on HNIC. I think he's played for Team Canada a few times.

Woywitka was a former Flyers prospect I think?

Never heard of Doug Lynch at all. Could be David Lynch for all I know.

It would have been nice (TM) if Pleau could have gotten a winger instead of one of the prospects, seeing as that's the team's big need.

Brewer looks impressive!? Anyone know anything?

TSN's scouting report.

He's helped Canada win the Gold Medal in the 02 Olympics and the 04 World Cup.

[LazyPenguin]

This has to lead to a scorer signing! HAS TO!

LP

[Mellanby_equals_grit]

Our offensive is practically non-existent and we trade our only chip for 3 defensemen?

Thank you, Pleau... I'm gonna go drink myself into a stupor now....

[BlueBrained]

Anyone want my season tickets?

[steveInebriated]

hahahahahahaha....

Where's the offense coming from? The point?

Bwhahahahaha.....

WTG, Leery.

[BlueBrained]

Brewer is a RFA...

Thanks Bleau...
