As fans, it is always hard to know what the truth is about behind the scenes. However, if we are to believe the reports, the St. Louis Blues did not want someone like Kyle Brodziak to leave.
St. Louis was interested in retaining his services. It would have needed to be at the right price.
That price was not the $1.15 million he got from Edmonton. The increase in pay and the chance to be closer to home were too much for Brodziak to turn down.
It was a pain to lose him.
