T.J. Oshie and Troy Brouwer, formerly of the Washington Capitals, swapped teams this offseason in one of the more impactful moves the St. Louis Blues made this offseason. T.J. Oshie had become a St. Louis Blues team leader, alternate captain, fan-favorite, and shootout specialist.
“I’m not going to try and be Oshie. He’s got his following. He’s one great player and he deserves every jersey that’s out there in the stands. But sometimes you just have to move on, and I’m hoping that I can be an exciting player for the fans to cheer for as well,” said Brouwer to STL Today.
