Also, what's the big deal if the guy goes by Troy G. Ward? It's got nice ring to it, IMO.

That is the exact reason why he hasn't been an NHL goaltender previously, and why he won't be moving forward. He does not have an NHL playstyle. I can distinctly remember two or three opportunities the Stars received last night at the expense of Brust being overly aggressive when challenging the shooter. Those are risks that he simply could not take at the NHL level because they would end up in the back of the net.
Personally, I would cringe seeing Barry Brust play for the Flames.
