I understand that this Stauffer character works for the Oilers. Is he reliable?

No clue.
But Brule is from Edmonton, and maybe he knows Brule/Brule's agent and got in contact with them.

I wonder if that article had anything to do with negotiations with Schroeder? Just mindless speculation

I've seen other 'sources' claiming Brule to Phoenix on a PTO as well - don't know how reliable they are however, since I'm not familiar with the sources around the Coyotes.

37 points in 65 games is a 47 point pace.

His off ice issues are apparently over.

He also cant make it threw a season. His rookie year was his most games played were he almost matched his ladt three years in games played. Id rather see guys in the system get a chance over Brule

Haha. There are no sources around the Coyotes. There's our little blonde beat writer girl (can't be a day over twenty five) for the local rag, and then there's the team's media guy, who's job she took over when he left the local paper for the Coyotes gig. Haha. Phoenix is a very large market with incredibly small-town media.

So there is an opening for a fake, d bag, **** stirer, twitter guy? I call dibs, now I just need a catchy handle

Fair enough - I've just seen other Twitter sources saying Brule to Phoenix on a PTO as well. But take it for what it's worth.

Brule's from Edmonton in the same way Steve Yzerman is ''from'' Cranbrook.

Catchy handle? How about BizNasty2.0? Oh...wait...

Let me start off by saying that I was a fan of Gilbert Brule and drafted him to my fantasy league team. He was a disappointment (based on his potential) prior to coming to Switzerland, but I was excited when my team signed him.

I am not getting into his on-ice play (which wasn't spectacular), but one fact that not been stated in this thread yet is that he abandoned his team mid-season. While this may seem acceptable from a human point of view considering his apparent family issues, there are enough available players without the baggage. I am not at all surprised that NHL teams are not willing to give him another chance; I am rather surprised that any would.

This article seems to confirm it - good for him, hope he makes the team and gets his career back on track.
