He was a big part of our league leading penalty killing.
He can be had for much less than a top scorer.
If the penalties aren’t killed we need to score even more goals.

Interesting rumour, and I stress rumour at this point: EDM possibly moving Souray to STL with Brewer coming back the other way

Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky was in a production of The King and I? Well anyway, before the show, Brasky chloroforms the entire cast, and slowly eats them in front of the audience for two hours. The production got pretty good reviews.

Interesting, Edmonton would or should want more than just Brewer.

The Edmonton based comments about Brewer make me laugh hysterically. They actually want him.

After 5 No-Dozes I feel great.. only except that i can hear my ears.. and I believe that toenails are the funniest thing I have ever seen.

Edmonton needs to sweeten that deal.

Souray is a very good defenseman when healthy, but he’s missed 102 games due to injury in the last 3 years. And last year’s injury (a concussion that cost him half the season) is not the sort of injury that just goes away.

I want a different player wearing the “C”, and a Brewer trade guarantees that. But I’m not sure about adding an albatross contract to make it happen.

by BleedBlue42 on Jun 30, 2010 1:55 PM CDT up reply actions  

how about a guy who when healthy can shoot the puck 106 mph

I agree though this deal won’t happen because edmonton won’t eat any of his salary

i'm with you BB

EDM must really dislike Souray if they’re willing to take Brewbot with open arms. I understand both are at the end their (somewhat) respective tenures with each organization. I personally don’t see Brewer in the note this upcoming season, but I think i’d prefer him over Souray. the injury histories are somewhat similar, and the cap hits are almost identical for the next season, only with Souray having 2 years remaining as opposed to Brewer’s 1. now that i think about it, i’d rather keep Brewer and have the extra 4.5 mil next year to throw towards Osh, Backes, Bergie, etc. we have defensive prospects that are very close to making the jump. i don’t see the need in delaying it another year. Junland will be back (hopefully) and guys like Cole (who probably won’t make the cut this year) will have a solid foundation of AHL experience and a little NHL experience under their belt. if we’re gonna deal Brew, bring in someone that can play a two-way game, be it defenseman OR forward.

Souray did request a trade at some point...

So it’s not like they want to get rid of him, they kind of have to.

by oplaid on Jun 30, 2010 3:05 PM CDT up reply actions  

At least Souray can do something....Brewer is a waste on both sides of the puck

Souray can at least offer a hard shot from the point on the PP….it sure would be nice having Johnson on one point and Souray on the other both firing pucks on goal during a PP…haven’t really had two hard shots since Pronger and MacInnis, and we all know how well that worked out.

by hockeyno93 on Jun 30, 2010 2:39 PM CDT up reply actions  

maybe you're right

and maybe Souray just needs a change of scenery. i’m just not as comfortable with this gamble as i am with building from within.

When was the last time a Blues defenseman scored 23 or 26 goals?

……..I’m just sayin…..

Dude can fight too and pretty well…check it out on YouTube

by hockeyno93 on Jun 30, 2010 2:53 PM CDT up reply actions  

Fights are partly responsible for his injury history.

He reinjured a shoulder six games into the 2007-08 season, and missed a ton of games; and this year, after missing a bunch of games with a concussion, he decided to drop gloves with Jarome Iginla (who had given him the concussion) and Souray came out of that fight with a broken hand.

Souray has a much better chance to be a good d-man again if he learns how NOT to fight.

by BleedBlue42 on Jun 30, 2010 3:09 PM CDT up reply actions  

if anything...he offers at least SOMETHING to be excited about....

Brewer is a nightmare every time he steps on the ice…..fans would, I know I would, get excited when the Souray gets time at the point to let one go….but then again…we could just keep Brewer…he can let a mean wrist shot go from the point.

by hockeyno93 on Jun 30, 2010 2:56 PM CDT up reply actions  

a few of them actually hit the net too

about that actually… heres to this year the blues dmen getting the puck past the first defender.. i hate seeing wristers off shin pads that end up as break aways

i remember a game either last year or the before that against the Hawks

Blues shot two pucks into Sharp’s legs…one sprung a breakaway, which he scored on…the other sprung a 2 on 1, which Sharp again scored on…2 short handed goals…enough of that non sense.

anyone else just excited

that the blues are being mentioned with Ilya?

This is a franchise that has made an absolutely remarkable turn around. Unreal.

Now we need to get things going towards building a cup contender.

Plus if the Oilers want to trade us Souray for Brewer… then I suggest we do it before we wake up.

Will bobby Ryan get offered?

Cause it would completely be worth it to bust out 5-6mil for him.

He raged at the world, at his family, at his life. But mostly he just raged.
Just because Jay McClement is the best defensive forward in the NHL doesn't mean he should win the Selke.

More/Further Rosterbation

I got in a back-and-forth with Gift about the recently-waived Cheechoo. I see potential that would be available cheap, a possible reclamation project like Billy Guerin a few years back. Gift saw a flash in the pan that wasn’t worth the time, and someone who couldn’t produce without Joe Thornton… After yesterday’s discussion about Kovalchuk, I wonder …

What would a Cheech N ’Chuk combo look like?

Well, for the nicknane potential alone I might be able to deal with my Koval-upchuks.
