Richard Cloutier: Does Brule's Loss = A Multi-Player Trade?

Thanks to the Phoenix Coyotes picking Gilbert Brule from the Oilers on re-entry waivers, the Oil are down to 48 contracts. Was that the plan all along?

He's also young enough to have plenty of time to turn into...

The Edmonton Oilers have signed Gilbert Brule to a 1-year, two-way contract. Reports have the dollar amount at a very friendly $800,000.
