July 1, 2008 The Blue Jackets Gilbert Brule was traded to the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday in exchange for Raffi Torres, according to Slam Sports.
February 7, 2007 Gilbert Brule has earned a spot on the Blue Jackets' top line, according to the Columbus Dispatch. "He has been great in terms of energy and intensity, and we really need that up higher in our lineup right now," coach Ken Hitchcock said. "He has really picked up his game, too, as far as when the other team has the puck. That part of his game has really stabilized."
November 28, 2006 New coach Ken Hitchcock said that Gilbert Brule is set to receive more playing time despite the fact that the 19-year-old hasn't done much this season, according to the Columbus Dispatch. "Our goal is to play him more and more," Hitchcock said. "I don't know where he was before with playing time, but we want to get him to a point where he can play key minutes every night and contribute."
