Great way to address the gaping hole at center. Asset wise, didn't give up much either.
Good move from Fletch.

This clears the way for the Oilers to win the cup. That Kunt Brodziak was really holding us back.

Good deal both both teams. The wild get an NHL caliber player without giving up much... The Oilers unload an RFA forward that they have no intention of playing or resigning - there is little difference between Brodziak and the other 5 marginal NHL forwards behind him in the Oilers system, so this move makes sense from their point of view. He was benched enough times down the stretch last year that I figured this would be the end result due to his RFA status... Good deal. Both teams win. The consensus I'm hearing is that Brule will likely take his spot at 4th line centre if nothing else changes... Quite frankly, Brule > Brodziak IMO - Brodziak was just way too soft...

Outside of winning faceoffs, what exactly does he bring to the game in your mind? I'm not saying Brule is any good - I'm saying Brodziak does NOTHING outside of winning faceoffs... softer than butter... scratched numerous times for failure to compete last year... It's not that Brule's all that, it's that at least he brings some sandpaper (a bit) in his game... offensively, the two guys are probably equal... Either way, I don't know that either guy will ever play more than 6-7 minutes a game in their careers...

yes i have and i would rather have a brodziak who can win a faceoff and play on the pk than brule who well cant do jack ****. so it's technically a wash which doesnt equat to brule>brodziak which was what i was more getting at.

That's fine Thrill... Lowe, Tambo and MacT disagreed with you - he was benched at least twice down the stretch for inconsistent effort and failure to compete... I am NOT saying he was the only one, but they definitely felt differently than you and Chilly...
