Look, as with any roster move, there was a certain amount of sadness with the Troy Brouwer trade, which sent T.J. Oshie to Washington and Brouwer to St. Louis. Like, remember how it made that adorable girl cry? Dang.
Here’s what else was a real bummer: the trade left the best Troy Brouwer fans in hockey, the Brouwer Rangers, without, you know, a Brouwer to cheer for.
But guys, sometimes you have to move on. Life is about change and all that junk. And the NHL season is set to begin this week, with the Caps opener scheduled for Saturday.
