Trade! St. Louis -> Tampa Bay

A late one for you as I was in the process of napping with my phone off before this one decided to happened, thanks Jalen!

*-> The St. Louis Blues have dealt Eric Brewer to the Tampa Bay Lightning after the player waived his no trade clause this evening. The Blues in return get a 3rd round draft pick in 2011 and prospect Brock Beukeboom.

Both teams get a great deal in this one, the Blues get a solid defensive prospect while the Bolts get exactly what they were looking for on the blueline, a shut down defenseman who can log a ton of minutes. I'm a little surprised that the Blues didn't create a bidding war for Brewer close to the deadline but from what I've seen is the Blues decided to work with Brewers number one choice of destination.
