We have many young prospects in our line up today.
We have many young prospects that will battle for spots in our line up this coming season and next season.
We are still a young team with upside.
I am not surprised that our front office made this trade as we drafted quite low in the first round this year at #26. Chicago continues to have to recraft its team as it was up against the salary cap and made two big moves trading its big free agent signing of a couple of years ago – Brian Campbell to Florida and then Troy Brouwer to us for our pick.
As George and folks note about Troy, he is a big physical player with versatility and plays with a mean streak. He is gritty and won a Stanley Cup; can score goals; and is a very positive player in the locker room. He also isn’t afraid to take the body and was a league leader in the hit stat category.
He will slide right into our line up next season so we add a player immediately. We don’t have to wait to get productivity.
At this point in our development as a team, I believe this is a good move. Thank you.
The more players on the roster with a Stanley Cup on the resume; the better the chances to play for the cup. The trade can only make them better.
Love this trade. If this guy lives up to his clips, he’ll help make a difference.
I think the trade will ultimately benefit both teams’ style of play. Gonna be tough to see T-Brow in a Caps sweater, but I’m glad to know he’s going to a great team with a loud and loyal fanbase.
