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? It was fairly obvious to me Brule was going to be picked off of waivers. He's a former high draft pick, and a player who had at least one decent season in the NHL. He's also young enough to have plenty of time to turn into...

RE 10-11: Gilbert Brule
Once upon a time, everyone loved Gilbert Brule. He was ranked as a lottery pick his draft year and no one in the entire land had a discouraging word. He was compared in style to Theo Fleury, and the toughest public scouts of all (Redline Report) threw away their cranky thesaurus and gushed:If Brule follows Sidney Crosby as the 2nd overall pick in the draft, it will be the first time...

Oilers Sign Brule
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. Brule can apparently be sent down and not clear waivers, although the CBA's language seems to contradict that statement. I think it's also fair to suggest Brule has a terrific opportunity to make the big league club this fall. The competition...

Gilbert Brule: Tumbling Dice
The quickest way to a million in big league hockey is to contribute heavily to the offensive side of the equation. Despite playing about the same number of career NHL games, Fredik Sjostrom's (who was drafted one selection before 83) salary is about $3M less than Ales Hemsky each season. Gilbert Brule made $800,000 this past season and is a restricted free agent. A big story...

Gilbert Brule 10-11: It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)
The career of Gilbert Brule is not exactly textbook. A lottery pick in a dream draft year (Crosby, Kopitar, Stastny, Bobby Ryan), Brule was rushed to the NHL by an organization that had a long run of bad decisions. He was then traded to another organization with some development issues. The Oilers put him in the minors for half a season before bringing him up and he's been in...

The Edmonton Oilers have signed centre Gilbert Brule to a two-year contract, thus avoiding a date with the arbitrator scheduled for next week.
