Blues Trade T.J. Oshie To Washington Capitals For Troy Brouwer, Pick, And Prospect

Everyone knew that T.J. Oshie was on the trade block. It was not a well kept secret. At all.

The deal that went down today was still a surprise.

Oshie got traded in an apples for apples deal for a goaltending prospect, a third round pick next year, and Troy Brouwer. The shootout specialist and playoff underperformer has been replaced by a former Blackhawks player who scored his first NHL point against the Blues. He also has a Stanley Cup under his belt, winning one in 2010 with the Hawks.

Brouwer's stats, especially the last three seasons, are comparable-ish to Oshie, although about 14 assists lower.
