Has a goalie ever neen offersheeted?
This was one year after the Blues had extended New Jersey captain Scott Stevens a Group II offer sheet that Lamoriello matched. There was educated expectation that St. Louis, run by Mike Keenan, would do the same with Brodeur.
Late that July, the Blues traded two first-round draft picks to Edmonton for Shayne Corson that would have been used as compensation for Brodeur. But within a week, St. Louis got them back in a deal for Curtis Joseph and Mike Grier, thus laying the groundwork for an expected bid on the then 23-year-old goaltender.
But for reasons never explained, the NHLPA entered into a hasty agreement with the NHL that defined reacquired draft picks as “encumbered” and thus could not be used as offer sheet compensation.
This action alienated Brodeur from the union.
