Squeak Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Give up two goals - acquire a D. Great deal for Tampa - get a 3rd round pick for a player they didnt need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRussianRocket. Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Good deal for both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRussianRocket. Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Clayton Stoner on IR with mumps and Beauchemin out a month. Makes sense why they got Brewer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dasein Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Guess they wanted to upgrade on Bryan Allen. Figured it was a weird deal for them since they needed a rugged stay-at-home more than Rene "AHL" Bourque, although I figure he'll be a good solid depth player when the playoffs come around - especially if they are looking to make a deep run this year with Kesler in the folds. Ducks really adding a lot of depth to match LA's in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jägermeister Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I'm so lost. They trade Bryan Allen for Rene Bourque, who they could have had for free off waivers. Then trade a 3rd for Brewer, who is a marginal improvement over Allen if anything. What was the goal here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawkdrummer Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Perhaps they wanted to get rid of Rene Bourque and his cap hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swedish elite3 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Rumour has it Kesler and Allen didn't get along and then kesler had a bad feeling about that 3rd pick and demanded it to be traded.... In all seriousness pointless to get rid of Allen then acquire Brewer.. Although brewer is an upgrade but not much of one at that. Oh well not our team not our worries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Mind Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 A 3rd seems like too much for Brewer, but it does improve their team. He might only be a small upgrade on Allen, but every improvement is needed if they want to make a deep run this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 We have injury problems of our own. We spent a 3rd on a so-so prospect. They spend a 3rd on a proven vet. Interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squeak Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 It's the Oilers 3rd round pick too. So will likely be a very early pick in the round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 brewer might fit in well their. But im glad we gave up a 3rd for a young up and coming D with potential, over a 35yr old D with a 3.875m cap hit who is a pending ufa we need youth coming in not picks for older rental vets, new era in vancouver now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Stammer- Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 im a Lightning fan and watching Eric in the playoffs was frustrating, he's so slow and people get around him easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robongo Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 It's Edmonton's third round pick from the Victor Fasth deal, so it's really a late second. Oops, someone beat me to it ^ Tampa also retains 25% salary. Great deal for Tampa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
