I figured we’d sign him as soon we announced the PTO. We need the bodies and I’m sure he can help in some way. But he’s not the player he was last time he was here.

I figured we’d sign him as soon we announced the PTO. I guess it’s fine, but he’s not the guy he was when he scored that playoff goal

I forget why he left after that season. I know he went to Calgary and then went downhill.

Blues sign Brouwer to one-year deal

I watched that classic goal that was the winner against the Blackhawks. Nice feed by......Fabbri


Just say'n...

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

Perron improved between stints with us, maybe Brouwer will be better this time around

 

[AjaxManifesto]

In hindsight, we should have re-signed Maroon.

Is that the real scene? I am seeing something that I never noticed before.

I think it is - what are you seeing?

 

[SneakerPimp82]

Ugh, really? Do we need bodies this badly? I guess they really don't wanna mess with the Rampage's roster.

With Blais out, I fully support this signing. Would much rather have Brouwer than Walker. Kostin should stay, but needs sheltering. Don't worry Kyrou fans, his time will come. No need to rush.

I think we should have kept Maroon. I prefer Walker over Brouwer. I guess if the team thinks Brouwer is the guy they need, I'm good with it. A known quantity.

No. He took a "hometown discount" to live where his family did. As I recall, he signed with them for only $2 million, which The Blues were fully prepared to pay. He had already built a home there, nothing The Blues would have offered would have made him stay.

Awful

4.5x4 no?

 

[shpongle falls]

Well with Blais being out for a bit I'm actually really glad we were able to get Brouwer we could certainly use him, I remember Panger saying he's still in really good shape.

 

[DoubleK81]

As long as he's starting out on the 3rd/4th line unless he proves he can help the top 6, i'm ok with it.

 

[simon IC]

Haters ... relax. It's a one year, two way contract. If he sucks we can easily waive/bury him. And again, one year.

 

[Robb_K]

4.5x4 no?

Sorry, maybe I remembered that incorrectly. But he had already built his new house their and Calgary was the only place he was willing to play.

 

[The Note]

Makes sense with Blais being out. Boy our forward lines are getting thin though. I’d guess:

Schwartz-Schenn-Bozak
Sanford-ROR-Perron
Sunny-Thomas-Kostin(?)
Mac-Barbashev-Brouwer

Gonna have to grind out a lot of 2-1 wins.

 

[Reality Czech]

In hindsight, we should have re-signed Maroon.

I thought the same over the summer. Beloved by teammates and the community, earns a million or less... Kind of hard to figure out why they didn't think it was worth bringing Maroon back. I mean Brouwer is getting paid $750k, people are going to say Maroon isn't worth $900k?

We already have been grinding out a lot of 1 goal wins. This is going to be tough.

 

[Celtic Note]

I think it is - what are you seeing?

The alien space ship looks like the lower half of a male body. Its probably just because the clip is small.

 

[Blanick]

It is really unfortunate about Blais, it was really looking like he was headed for a breakout year.

I was against signing Brouwer when the PTO was announced but this is extreme circumstances having multiple long term injuries. I do not think he should even sniff a top6 role though.

If Army isn't going to call up someone I would like to see Sundqvist elevated into the top6.
