The Blues waived Brouwer on Sunday, James Mirtle of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The defending champs brought the 34-year-old winger aboard after a slew of injuries, but he only played 10 of 31 games, posting a goal and dishing out 19 hits. The Blues should get Sammy Blais (wrist) back soon, so Brouwer's move will free up a roster spot. If he clears waivers, he'll land with AHL San Antonio.

Brouwer has been a healthy scratch for 10 straight games.
EDGE Analysis
The Blues are fairly healthy right now, so Brouwer can't get back in the fold. He's only played 10 games this year and recorded one point. Considering Sammy Blais (wrist) is nearing a return, this could become the status quo for the journeyman.

Brouwer pitched in a goal during a 5-2 loss to Buffalo on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Brouwer was playing in just his eighth game of 2019-20, picking up his first point of the season in a losing cause. The 34-year-old does not deserve fantasy consideration this year, strange considering Brouwer had spent so many seasons racking up anywhere between 20 and 40 points.

Brouwer (visa) had one shot on goal in 9:01 of playing time in Monday's 3-2 shootout loss to Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
Brouwer was in the St. Louis lineup for the first time all season after resolving his visa issues. He saw limited ice time and did not hit the scoresheet outside of his one hit. The 34-year-old figures to fill a fourth-line depth role for the Blues after recording 12 goals and 21 points in 75 games last season with Florida.

Brouwer (visa issues) will play in Monday's game against the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Brouwer's visa issues were cleared up, so he'll make his start his second stint with the Blues. The 34-year-old brings a valued veteran presence to the club after spending the 2015-16 season and an encouraging playoff run with the Blues. Brouwer figures to slot in on the fourth line.

Brouwer (visa issues) is considered a game-time decision for Tuesday's game against the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Brouwer's still waiting for his visa issues to be resolved, and he's expected to play if it's done in time. If not, coach Craig Berube will likely deploy Nathan Walker -- who was recalled from AHL San Antonio on Sunday -- on the fourth line.

Brouwer (vias issues) was designated as a non-roster player Sunday, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is simply a paper move so the Blues can get some depth in the lineup until Brouwer gets his visa issues cleared up. It's unclear when that will be, but it could happen as early as this week.

Brouwer (visa issues) won't play in Saturday's game against the Predators, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brouwer signed a one-year deal with the Blues on Wednesday after multiple injuries to the team's forward corps, but his season debut will be put on hold. The 34-year-old winger is expected to play in the bottom six when he's ready, and he adds a veteran presence as well as a scoring touch. Brouwer posted 12 goals and 21 points with the Panthers last year, and he'll look to clear up his visa concerns by Monday's matchup against the Predators.

Brouwer signed a one-year contract worth $750,000 with the Blues on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Following long-term injuries to Vladimir Tarasenko (shoulder) and Alex Steen (ankle), the Blues brought in Brouwer on a professional tryout agreement. Now, Sammy Blais will miss 10 weeks with a wrist injury, so the Blues will bring Brouwer aboard full-time to add depth and a valued veteran presence to the lineup. The 34-year-old scored 12 goals and added nine assists for the Panthers last year.

Brouwer signed a professional tryout agreement with the Blues on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Brouwer played a key role in the Blues' run to the 2016 Western Conference finals, as he registered 18 goals and 39 points in the regular season and stacked up another 13 points in the playoffs. The Blues let him walk in free agency, and Brouwer spent two years with the Flames and one with the Panthers, marking 25 or fewer points in each campaign. It makes sense that the Blues are affording the 34-year-old winger another shot with the team since Vladimir Tarasenko (shoulder) is out until late March, as the former brings veteran experience to the table and could serve as a physical force to the bottom six.
