Brewer hasn't played or been a part of this team for a year (at least on the ice). He came back without a rehab, dons the "C" and is considered a first line defenseman. My only question is: Who does he have the goods on? Is it Murray, JD, Pleau?

I think he is a good player and can be a serviceable 2nd or 3rd line defenseman. But he should have gone at least a few games in Peoria before being put on the ice at the NHL level. His -3 is a pretty solid indicator of that. Just the fact that his wearing the "C" has created the stir is has indicates it may not be the best move (where there is smoke, there is usually fire).

No, the Blues have bigger issues than Brewer but you can't discount all of this. It has to factor in to some degree. Since we're not in the locker room and don't coach the team, we'll never know to what degree. But rational people would have to at least scratch their head a little bit?
