Brathwaite Blues

Geez. This sucks.
The St. Louis Blues gave goalie Freddy Brathwaite his walking papers yesterday. He was their backup goalie , but really stepped up as St. Louis cruised through 28 different goaltenders over the course of this season. But once the Blues landed Chris Osgood, they knew they couldn’t keep Brathwaite. So he’s been released, meaning he’ll be paid, but he can’t play in the NHL the rest of this season because the trade deadline has passed. The Blues couldn’t trade Brathwaite before the deadline because they didn’t know they had a goalie until 10 minutes before the deadline.
Freddy Brathwaite — another casualty of St. Louis.
I’m sure he’ll be playing next season, though. He showed a lot of good stuff in St. Louis.
