[Lesson]

Army said one of the reasons Brewer was traded was because he wanted to give N64 a better look.

Interesting point on yahoo:

The Scott Stevens saga ends after 2 decades.
Blues trade 5 first round draft picks to Washington for Scott Stevens.
Blues lose Scott Stevens in arbitration for signing Brendan Shanahan.
Blues trade Brendan Shanahan for Chris Pronger.
Blues trade Chris Pronger for Eric Brewer.
Blues trade Eric Brewer for a young guy in the OHL and a yet to be determined 3rd round draft pick.
That means the Blues traded Brewer for guys who may never play an NHL game, which would finally shut the book on a strange series of events that began over 20 years ago.

Nice W tonight. Only 7 points out of the 8th seed.

It's been a tough go of things for the Blues since the break. They've gone 4-1-2, but even if they had gone gone 7-0, they would not have gained a point on 8th.

Excellent trade. Brewer had a nice start to the year but has been pretty terrible the last couple months, and the vast majority of his time here. Move on and invest next offseason in someone who can score. A mid round pick for a rental who makes a ton and is playing terribly. I'd rather the Blues have gotten a 2nd, but I'll take the late third.

Does anyone else think that the ownership issue is bigger than we think it is?
