The Blues were coming off that playoff run in 2016 (lead by Brian Elliott of course); Brouwer scored 8 goals in 20 games that playoffs. They also knocked out Dallas in the second round, which cost us a first rounder in that year's draft (the Kris Russell trade). So yeah, that whole situation didn't work out great for us...
On the plus side, Wideman and Hudler were both amazing in year three of their contracts. Hold on until 2018/19?!?
